AP: Fine quality rice to be served to 41,000 schools from June 12: Minister Nadendla

Machilipatnam, June 2 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Minister for Civil Supplies Nadendla Manohar has announced that fine quality rice will be served to the students studying at over 41,000 government schools across the State from June 12 onwards.
The oath-taking ceremony of the Kodali Agricultural Market Yard of Avanigadda Constituency, Ghantasala Mandal, Thota Kanakadurga Rajasekhar as the Chairman, Attaluri Gopichand as the Vice Chairman and the directors was held on Monday in the Agricultural Market Committee office.
Avanigadda MLA Mandali Buddha Prasad presided over the function and Manohar attended the programme.
Speaking on the occasion, the Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar said that the government has decided to serve fine quality rice, called as ‘sanna biyyam’ in local parlance, to the students studying over 41,000 government schools and staying in over 4,000 social welfare hostels across the State.
The Minister observed that three and a half lakh metric tonnes of fine quality rice would be supplied to over 41,000 government schools and over 4,000 social welfare hostels in the State from June 12, adding that arrangements are being made to supply rice to schools and welfare hostels through the farmers who cultivate this rice.
“We have purchased about 48 lakh metric tonnes of paddy from the farmers during the Kharif and Rabi, which is the highest amount purchased by any State in the history of India. In this regard, Rs 12,400 crores have been disbursed to the farmers by crediting the amount in the bank accounts of farmers within 24 hours,” the Minister revealed, adding that in Krishna district alone, the Government has purchased about 58,000 metric tonnes of paddy.
Taking a dig at the previous YSRCP regime, in the name of door delivery ration commodities, the Minister said that the YSRCP government purchased 9,360 MDU vehicles by spending Rs 1,650 crores and misused public money.
These vehicles did not benefit the card holders as they were not provided exact information about when and where the MDU vehicles would deliver ration goods to the beneficiaries, they noted.
APSRTC chairman Konakalla Narayana, Agnikula Kshatriya corporation chairman Chilakalapudi Papa Rao and DCMS chairman Bandi Ramakrishna were present.
