Govt’s Bharat Rice to hit the market tomorrow with Rs. 29/kg

Bharat Rice Initiative to be available tomorrow

To control the rise in prices of grains, the central government has decided to sell subsidized grains at a rate of Rs. 29/ kg through retail outlets from tomorrow. This plan is to control the high-rise prices, which haven’t come down despite the efforts of the Food Corporation of India (FCI).

The central government believes that the Bharat Rice initiative will bring down the high-flying prices. A source from FCI revealed that the prices remain high despite a record output and ample stocks.

It is very well known that the government is selling chana dal and atta (flour) at subsidized rates of Rs 60/kg and Rs 27.5/kg respectively under Bharat Dal and Bharat Atta initiatives.

“Bharat Atta, Bharat Dal, interventions regarding Onion and Tomato have assisted the Government of India in price stabilization,” said Union Food Minister Piyush Goyal. He said that the FCI’s open market sale scheme has proved to be an effective tool in moderating the prices.
