|April 11, 2026
TO OFFLOAD SURPLUS stocks of pulses, the Centre has urged states to source tur, chana, masur and moong varieties from it for their welfare schemes, instead of buying them in the open market.
In a communication to states, the Department of Consumer Affairs stated,“Sourcing pulses from the central buffer obviates the need for a cumbersome tendering process for procurement under various welfare schemes.”
