In a major step towards supporting low-income families, the Delhi Cabinet has approved the distribution of 1 kilogram of free sugar per month to Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) beneficiaries. This scheme will continue until March 2027, ensuring essential food support for the city’s most vulnerable households. Officials stated that the initiative aims to reduce the financial burden on poor families and improve access to basic food items. The sugar will be distributed through fair price shops under the public distribution system, making it accessible to all eligible beneficiaries.
This decision is part of the Delhi government’s broader social welfare strategy, which focuses on improving nutrition and providing essential commodities to economically weaker sections. Authorities have assured that the scheme will be implemented efficiently and transparently. With this scheme, AAY families can expect consistent monthly sugar supply, helping them meet basic dietary needs while easing household expenses.
