Abstract: Anna Bhagya Yojana Scheme was launched by Karnataka Government, as the most ambitious revised food distribution system to supply 30 kg of rice at Rs. one to nearly one crore poor families. Purpose of Anna Bhagya Yojana was to fulfil basic needs of people Below Poverty Line (BPL). In this scheme, a single card holder in the family got 10 kg rice at a rate of Rs 1/kg. Family with 2 members got 20 Kg rice and 3 got a maximum of 30 Kg rice at same price. Apart from rice, edible oils, sugar, iodized salt, kerosene and other items were also provided at concessional rates. So this helped poor people to get at least 2 square meals a day. Thus it was felt necessary to see whether the scheme had any impact on the beneficiaries and farmers.
