A Comparative Analysis of the Indira Rasoi Yojana and Annapurna Scheme

Author(s) Ms. Pratishtha Pandey
Country India
Abstract The Indira Rasoi Scheme, launched by the Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan Government on the 76th birth anniversary of Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, represents a significant milestone in the state's efforts to combat food insecurity and malnutrition. This comprehensive program is designed to provide affordable and nutritious meals to those in need, and it has left an indelible mark on the lives of Rajasthan's residents. At the heart of the Indira Rasoi Scheme lies its extensive infrastructure, boasting 358 kitchens strategically positioned across 213 city wards throughout the state. These kitchens operate diligently, serving meals twice daily, ensuring that individuals dependent on this initiative have access to nourishment during crucial hours. This widespread accessibility is one of the scheme's most commendable features, enabling it to reach a broad spectrum of the population. Affordability is another pillar of the Indira Rasoi Scheme. With an annual budget of ₹100 crores, it is well-funded, further enhancing its ability to meet its ambitious target of serving 1.34 lakh people daily. Additionally, the scheme's adaptability to regional variations and its collaboration with local organizations demonstrate a thoughtful approach to implementation. Transparency and food quality are also paramount, instilling trust in beneficiaries. On the other hand, the Annapurna Scheme, initiated in 2000 under the Ministry of Rural Development, focuses on providing food security to senior citizens aged 65 and above. It complements the National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS) by offering free food grains to 20% of eligible pension recipients in various states and union territories. To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of these schemes, a comprehensive research study is planned. This research will rely on secondary sources such as websites, journals, and news reports to assess food accessibility in Rajasthan and other pertinent factors within the domain. The study's descriptive nature will provide valuable insights into how these programs impact the lives of beneficiaries. The schemes stand as a testament to Rajasthan's commitment to eradicating hunger and enhancing the well-being of its populace. These initiatives serve as a beacon of hope, setting an example for other states to emulate and reinforcing the potential of government programs in creating a more equitable and nourished society.
