The Tripura food minister met sub‑divisional magistrates to assess the progress of a state‑wide food‑security awareness campaign, noting increased farmer participation.
Tripura's food minister conducted a field review of the ongoing food‑security awareness drive, accompanied by several sub‑divisional magistrates (SDMs). The officials visited key locations where informational sessions and distribution of nutrition guidelines have been organized for farmers and consumers.
The minister highlighted that the campaign, launched earlier this year, aims to educate vulnerable communities about ration allocation, balanced diets, and government schemes such as the Public Distribution System. Preliminary data shared during the review indicated a rise in enrollment for the scheme and better awareness of nutritional standards.
SDMs reported that local volunteers have helped disseminate pamphlets and conduct door‑to‑door outreach, especially in remote blocks. The minister praised the collaborative effort and urged continued monitoring to ensure that the benefits reach the intended beneficiaries before the upcoming harvest season.
The review concluded with a plan to expand the drive to additional districts and to introduce digital tools for tracking food‑grain distribution, reinforcing the state's commitment to food security.
