The Anna Bhagya scheme in Karnataka is set to undergo a significant change
as the state government considers providing free rice instead of cash to
beneficiaries. The scheme, which was introduced to provide subsidized food
grains to the economically weaker sections, currently offers cash transfers
to eligible individuals. However, following a review of the program’s
effectiveness, the government is planning to switch to distributing rice
directly to the beneficiaries. This move aims to ensure better access to
food for the needy and reduce the potential misuse of funds. The proposed
change is expected to be implemented from the next month, subject to
necessary approvals.
