Sonia launches food security scheme in Delhi


The food security scheme in India is “unparalleled” in the world and aims to feed every poor person in the country, on 20-8-2013, Congress president Sonia Gandhi said in New Delhi while launching the ambitious food scheme in Delhi.
Delhi was the first State to clear the scheme.
“We have people who still don’t get food and there are children who are malnourished. We decided to bring this scheme so that every poor gets food and no child sleeps without food,” Ms. Gandhi said at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi.
Under the scheme, a total of 73.5 lakh people will get food grain at highly subsidised rates in the State.
