Punjab CM Mann revealed the initiation of the ‘Meri Rasoi’ scheme following the Punjab Cabinet meeting that was held today (February 23). The Chief Minister conducted a briefing and explained that the program is designed to assist approximately 40 Lakh families in the state.
Allegedly, through this program, the government will create a food package that will be given to blue card recipients.
According to the details, the kit will consist of 2 kg of pulses, 2 kg of sugar, 1 kg of iodized salt, 200 grams of turmeric powder, and one liter of mustard oil. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann states that this initiative will assist all blue card holder families in the state by giving them free food kits alongside the wheat provided through current welfare programs.
CM notes that routine quality assessments will be conducted to maintain proper standards, and it will be guaranteed that beneficiaries receive common food items similar to those found in typical homes. CM elaborates on the scheme’s goal, stating that the initiative aims to tackle nutritional deficiencies in children and low-income family members.
He explains that numerous children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds lack access to a balanced and nutritious diet, which affects their overall growth and development.
The Chief Minister guarantees that the government is dedicated to providing every household in the state with convenient access to a balanced diet rich in nutrition, ensuring that no family is denied essential dietary requirements.
