Jaisalmer : Jaisalmer Under the National Food Security Scheme, the cheap food grains of more than 27 thousand needy families of Jaisalmer district are stuck in the computer. Technical problems are being faced in the online portal of National Food Security Scheme. Due to which, applications of small, marginal, landless and other categories from SDM office first level are not being displayed on the online portal. Due to which they are not being verified. Whereas most of the applications have been made in these categories. Due to lack of verification from the SDM office at the first level, their names are not being added to the National Food Security Scheme. Due to their names not being included in the National Food Security Scheme, they are not getting the grains they get every month from the ration shop. Under this scheme, 5 kg food grains per person are given free of cost to Antyodaya, BPL, State BPL and other category families. Even after two and a half years of application, more than 27 thousand families are waiting to add their names to the National Food Security Scheme. Due to non-inclusion of names in the food security scheme, the common people are not getting access to many government schemes.
To add the names of needy families to the National Food Security Scheme, the Food Department of Rajasthan Government had invited online applications by opening the portal in two phases for the first time from 1 April 2022 to 30 April 2022 and for the second time from 13 May 2022 to 28 May 2022. . During this period, 33 thousand 426 families from Jaisalmer district had applied online. Out of which till now the names of 5 thousand 831 families have been added to this scheme.
The remaining 27 thousand 995 families are still waiting to have their names added to this scheme. ^I had applied online in the National Food Security Scheme from Small Marginal Farmer category on 7 April 2022. My e-shram card and labor card are also made. The status of my application is showing as pending at the SDM office for verification at the first level. But due to technical problem in the online portal of National Food Security Scheme, the application is not being displayed and hence it is not being verified. – Haruram, Applicant About a month ago, guidelines and orders were issued to get the mapping of ration cards done to the workers registered on the e-Shram portal. Then guidelines and orders were also issued regarding linking construction workers registered on the e-Shram portal with the National Food Security Scheme by issuing ration cards. But till now they too have not been included in this scheme. From October 1, the state government has started the work of verification of previously received online applications by opening the online portal of the National Food Security Scheme. 13 lakh families are waiting to join: In the National Food Security Scheme, a target was set to include 10 lakh new families from across the state in this scheme. At present, 13.09 lakh families are still waiting to get their names added to this scheme. There are no guidelines yet regarding the application of small marginal farmers category. Not only in Jaisalmer, this application is still pending in the entire state. A meeting took place only recently. Hopefully, something can be said in this regard only after new guidelines are issued.
