Q. Under what brand name, the central government has recently decided to sell rice at Rs 25 per kilo through public distribution system?
Answer:
Bharat
Notes: Amid rising inflation hitting 10% for rice, the government has decided to start selling rice under the 'Bharat' brand at Rs 25 per kilo through public distribution channels. This is an attempt to boost supply and make the staple more affordable as high cereal costs drive food inflation. The government already sells atta and pulses under the Bharat brand to stabilize prices.
