Poorest of the poor
The Antyodaya Anna Yojana was launched in December 2000. The yellow ration card is issued to households classified as the poorest of the poor. Eligible households include those headed by widows, disabled persons, or elderly without social support. These families receive 35 kg of subsidized food grains monthly under the Public Distribution System. The scheme covers a targeted subset of Below Poverty Line population.
