Nagaland Launches General Household Scheme for NFSA-Excluded Families
Nagaland's Department of Food and Civil Supplies launched the General Household Scheme (GHH) to provide subsidised food grains to households excluded from the National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013. The scheme, inaugurated by adviser K T Sukhalu, identified 1,21,238 beneficiaries in its first phase, including indigenous and non-indigenous residents meeting eligibility criteria. The initiative addresses gaps in the Public Distribution System and clarifies that the Centre's Tide Over Rice allocation since 2017 supports additional food grain needs but is not free distribution.
