Key Advantages and Up-to-Date Information of the Ghar Ghar Muft Ration Yojana
The Punjab government today introduced the “Ghar Ghar Muft ration Yojana,” a new programme designed to give monthly food assistance to all those in need throughout the state of Punjab. The Yojana has been relaunched in Punjab following minor modifications, which is what Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal originally intended to implement in Delhi but was unable to do so.
Muft Ration Yojana Ghar Ghar
Aam Aadmi Party leader and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched the Ghar Ghar Muft Ration Yojana in Almoh, Punjab, on February 10, 2024.
The government hopes to employ more than 1500 young people by creating new jobs and giving food aid to the participants of this programme.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhawant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited every home in the Almoha neighbourhood to distribute food rations and inform the Punjabi public about the programme. This initiative marks the official launch of the scheme today.
The largest grain market in Asia is witnessing this initiative of the Punjab government, which the government started in the Khanna area.
Principal Advantages of the Ghar Ghar Muft Yojana Programme
The Punjab government claims that 38 lakh ration card holders will directly benefit from this plan. Given the limited information available at launch, we may infer the following main advantages that every beneficiary will receive from this scheme:
Doorstep delivery: 38 lakh Punjabi families would receive food deliveries from the Punjab government as part of this programme. The government estimates that this initiative will help around 1 crore 46 lakh people. You can now receive your monthly rations without having to wait in queue for food distribution.
Control the Black Market: Limiting the illicit sale of grains in Punjab was another goal of this plan. The unlawful trade in grains used for India’s rationing regime is known as “black marketing.” A third of the food grains that the Centre supplies are sold illegally, according to the All India Ration Dealers Association.
The Punjab government is attempting to control this major issue in India with this programme.
In place of flour, beneficiaries would be able to select wheat or other grains.

Generating employment chances for young people: This programme requires food to be brought to the recipient’s door, necessitating the hiring of delivery personnel and other workers. Through the Ghar Ghar Muft Ration programme, the state government claims to be preparing to give around 1500 young people employment chances.
The Ghar Ghar Muft Yojana Scheme’s phases
The new plan will be introduced gradually to ensure that its implementation is managed effectively.
Over 24.49 lakh beneficiaries will receive rations from the government in the scheme’s initial phase.
Since it was just introduced, the government has not yet specified the eligibility requirements, but we believe that it will provide food rations to those who qualify under the established zones or the conventional Public Distribution System.
The Atta-Dal scheme beneficiaries were to get the benefits of the scheme in the second phase, as per the scheme.
The New Scheme Is Based On The Ghar Ghar Atta Scheme
The Punjab government launched the ghar ghar ration programme in 2022, delivering atta to the recipients’ homes. To carry out the plan, the state government divided the state into eight zones.
All of the program’s beneficiaries who qualified for NFSA have the choice of having the flour delivered to their homes or picked up in person.
But when the owners of the Bhatinda NFSA depot filed a plea with the high court, the plan was limited. Subsequently, the Punjab government decided to relaunch the scheme after making revisions.
And now that the Ghar Ghar Muft Ration Yojana has been implemented, the people of Punjab have newfound optimism.
