Food Supply and Consumer Protection Minister Shri Govind Singh Rajput has informed that the Government of Madhya Pradesh is distributing food grains to 1 crore 28 lakh 86 thousand eligible families included under the Food Security Act through the targeted public distribution system operating at fair price shops.
