Jaipur Agency Blacklisted for Rasoi Scheme Irregularities
11 Apr
Summary
- Agency blacklisted for serious irregularities in food scheme.
- Nearly Rs 13 lakh penalty imposed on the errant agency.
- Duplicate and incorrect coupons affected eligible beneficiaries.
Jaipur's district administration took decisive action on Friday, blacklisting Anjuman Vikas Sansthan, an agency linked to the Jaipur Municipal Corporation. This measure follows the discovery of significant irregularities in the implementation of the Shri Annapurna Rasoi scheme. A penalty amounting to approximately Rs 13 lakh has also been levied against the organization.
An inspection, conducted on the district collector's orders, uncovered a pattern of issuing duplicate, double, and incorrect coupons. This practice directly violated the scheme's guidelines, compromising transparency and unfairly affecting those eligible for the program. The findings were reviewed by the district-level coordination and monitoring committee, which unanimously supported the blacklisting.
Officials have since been instructed to enhance monitoring mechanisms. The aim is to prevent similar lapses in the future and ensure the smooth, equitable operation of the Shri Annapurna Rasoi scheme. This move highlights the administration's commitment to maintaining accountability in public welfare programs.
