Under the National Food Security Act, the Government of India will distribute 1 kilogram per month through the Public Distribution System (ration card) via the Food and Supplies Department in four districts: Udham Singh Nagar, Haridwar, Nainital, and Dehradun. Farmers’ groups, LCs/LCFs, or PACS at established procurement centers are free to offer Mandua for sale. To encourage participation, an incentive of ₹150/- per quintal is provided.
Once the PACS accepts the millet crops from the groups, payment will be made through RTGS/NEFT within a maximum of 72 hours.
