Food security for visually impaired

Dear Editor,
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) besides ensuring a supply of 35 Kg monthly subsidised food grains per family. It seems to be a good initiative and will help Visually Impaired persons and their families. We should also assist to empower them by providing equal opportunities at all levels.
Amit Singh Kushwaha,
Satna (M.P.)
