The district administration has fulfilled a request of an Anna Bhagya scheme beneficiary within 24 hours.
Taking part in the ‘Jana-Mana’ programme organised on May 13 to mark the three years of Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Bengaluru, Lalitha Prabhu, a 57-year-old resident of Parkala in the district, district had asked the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, “I and my sister live in a small room and we work in six houses as domestic helps. We get rice because of your concern (through Anna Bhagya scheme), which is not sufficient. If you can give us more rice, I can stop going to two houses for work. Will I get an answer to my query today itself?”
As soon as Lalitha reached her home in Udupi on May 14, the Food and Civil Supplies Deputy Director Yogeshwar was at her doorsteps with the Anthyodaya card. Henceforth, Lalitha will recieve 29 kg of rice and 6 kgs of wheat every month.
Yogeshwar said the department Commissioner Anbu Kumar’s directions were implemented within 24 hours.
The other beneficiaries from Udupi, Saroja from Siriyara (Pashu Bhagya) and Rajani from Karkala (Manaswini Scheme beneficiary) too said that they have been benefited from the schemes.
