An amalgamation of the currently running EAS and JGSY programmes in 2001 led to the formation of the Sampoorna Gramin Rojgar Yojana (SGRY).
Every year, 50 lakh tonnes of food grains are distributed free of cost to everyone, in all the States and Union Territories of India, who are Below the Poverty Line (under the BPL).
The Central and State governments raise Rs.10,000 crore in a 75:25 ratio, and organise the acquisition and distribution of around 50 lakh tonne food grains to people under the Poverty Line. Imbursement for the food is done at the FCI Level, through the Centre.
State governments are responsible for the financial requirements of transporting the food from the FCI Stock Site to workplaces, PDS Shops, and the allocation the same.
