Jackpot for Ration card holders..!? Quality Rice..!?

Now, apart from wheat, enriched rice will also be provided to the ration card holders in prescribed quantities. To prevent malnutrition among women and children, the central government has taken a new decision to provide free fortified rice to ration card holders every month. For this, concentrated rice will be supplied to the district soon. By consuming this rice, you can get iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12. Fortified rice tastes just like regular rice. And the cooking method is the same, but enriched rice has more nutrients.
