A post on X by Yogi Adityanath's office stated that this scheme "will be a big gift for poor families identified under Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Zero Poverty Mission." "Aspirational districts and development blocks should be benefited from this scheme," it added. The scheme will also focus on expanding the Take Home Ration (THR) programme. Currently, THR units operate in 43 districts, but the chief minister has ordered the establishment of these units in all 75 districts, news agency PTI reported.
