Lucknow, August 17 - Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called upon fair price shop dealers in Uttar Pradesh to undertake work that brings honor and respect. He attributed the need for respect to the changes brought about since 2017, which eliminated previous instances of poor people dying of hunger. Under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, 15 crore individuals in the state receive free ration, while free LPG connections have been provided to 2 crore households and free electricity connections to 1.53 crore families.
Additionally, 10,000 Annapurna Bhawans have been established. The CM inaugurated the e-PoS-based Fair Price Shop Dealer Feedback System under Single-Stage Doorstep Delivery at Lok Bhavan, raising the commission for over 78,000 dealers from ₹90 to ₹125 per quintal. He expressed that this increase, which includes a contribution of ₹10 from the Central Government and ₹25 from the state government, represents a significant leap for the dealers.
The CM emphasized the role of fair price shop dealers as a bridge between the government and needy individuals, highlighting the hardships they endured prior to 2017 when ration was not reliably delivered. He also discussed the improvements in education, infrastructure, and overall perception of Uttar Pradesh under the current administration.
