This initiative of the state government is aimed at strengthening the Public Distribution System (PDS) and to facilitate the masses to avail essential commodities at reasonable rates.
This is also an attempt of the government to tame spiralling prices of essential commodities and make them available to the common people at fairly affordable rates. As such, apart from the four regular items like rice, sugar, salt and kerosene, twenty-one other essential commodities will find space in these fair price shops.
These fair price outlets will now be well-stocked with commodities like onions, potatoes, mustard oil, refined oil, soya oil, dal, atta, suji, maida, soap, milk, toothpaste, toothbrush and hair oil, to be made available at company/wholesale rates for all sections of consumers.
The goods will be retailed at rates fixed by the state Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department, which will be “significantly less” than those in the open market.
The outlets, too, will earn a reasonable profit, the rates of which will be determined by the state Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department.
