Food Ministers of States were requested to devote personal attention to the preparations as well as subsequent procurement operations. It was also requested that the States may make efforts to procure at least as much wheat as is required by the State under PMGKAY so that Central pool is well stocked and also cost incurred in transportation from other states is avoided.
