Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram will come under scheme
Two more districts — Virudhunagar and Ramanathapuram — are to have the supply of fortified rice through the public distribution system (PDS) as part of the Centrally-sponsored scheme.
At present, the scheme of distribution of fortified rice with three nutrients (iron, folate and vitamin B12) is under implementation in Tiruchi on a pilot basis.
This has been on since October 2020. The scheme is intended to address anaemia and micro-nutrient deficiency.
