Synopsis: The Karnataka government has decided to replace the additional five kilograms of rice under the Anna Bhagya scheme with the Indira nutritional kit, providing pulses, sugar, salt and cooking oil to 1.26 crore households, aiming to improve protein and fat intake. Experts and doctors have welcomed the move, noting that it will help reduce reliance on carbohydrate-heavy diets and address health issues such as obesity and pre-diabetes.

The Karnataka government has decided to distribute toor dal, moong dal, sugar, salt and cooking oil in lieu of an additional five kilograms of rice that is currently being distributed for free under the Anna Bhagya guarantee scheme to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families with Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and Priority Household (PHH) ration cards.
