Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asserted that his government is committed to ensuring that no one sleeps hungry, after the Cabinet extended the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana for another five years.
The government has extended the PMGKAY scheme to provide 5 kg of free foodgrains per month to 81.35 crore poor for another five years that would cost the exchequer about Rs 11.80 lakh crore.
A decision in this regard was taken in the meeting of the Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, on Tuesday.
