The state government has tentatively decided to distribute food security cards (FSC) to eligible applicants, with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy reportedly giving his approval.

Notably, possessing an FSC is a prerequisite for accessing various welfare schemes across the state.

The newly elected Congress government has made FSC mandatory for accessing a range of welfare initiatives, including subsidized gas cylinders, housing under Indiramma Illu, pensions through Cheyutha, and free electricity up to 200 units under Gruha Jyothi.
