The Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ramvilas Paswan has directed States to cover visually impaired people as beneficiaries under the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and ensure a supply of 35 kg monthly subsidized food grains per family. It seems to be a good initiative and will help visually impaired persons with their families. We should also assist to empower them by providing equal opportunities at all levels.
