Food Minister Sadhan Chandar Majumder on Thursday said that the government is planning to provide over one crore families with 10 kg rice under Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) programme in the upcoming holy Ramadan, the month of fasting.
He said this while responding to a question from journalists at the secretariat.
Sadhan said Bangladesh has achieved bumper Aman yield and the country won’t need to import rice once good yield of Boro paddy is achieved.
He said the government usually distributes rice to people during the Ramadan under rationing, Kabikha, TR and OMS programmes.
