The Haryana government announced a Rs 10 per litre milk incentive for families covered under the Antyodaya scheme, aiming to ease the cost of dairy for the poorest households.
New Delhi, Oct 9 (The Tribune) – The Haryana state administration has unveiled a targeted subsidy that will grant families listed under the Antyodaya scheme a discount of Rs 10 for every litre of milk they purchase. The measure is part of the government’s broader effort to alleviate the financial strain on low‑income households, particularly in essential food items.
Officials said the incentive will be applied at the point of sale, ensuring that eligible families receive the benefit directly when they buy milk from authorized vendors. The scheme is expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks across the state’s major dairy distribution networks.
The Antyodaya programme, which identifies the most vulnerable sections of society, will serve as the eligibility criterion for the milk subsidy. By linking the discount to this existing framework, the government hopes to reach the intended beneficiaries efficiently.
State authorities have not disclosed the exact budget allocation for the initiative, but they emphasized that the subsidy will be reviewed periodically to gauge its impact on household nutrition and spending.
The move has been welcomed by consumer groups, who view it as a practical step toward making basic nutrition more affordable for the poorest families in Haryana.
