The distribution of the Dry ration including Rice, Eggs and Chikkis to the Homes of the students, is being implemented in two phases – Phase I : 19th to 31st March, 2020 and Phase II : 1st to 23rd April, 2020.

The matter was discussed at the government level between the departments of Social welfare and the Education dept. and it was felt that the ration has to reach the hostellers by way of utilizing the e portability feature of the e PDS. However since eggs and chikkis also form part of the Dry ration, special steps have to be taken by the Officials to distribute the same to the hostellers at their native villages.
- All the DEOs are hearby informed that many hostellers are found to be natives of villages located by and large within mandals/districts and in some rare cases, other districts. Therefore the DEOs shall specifically instruct all the MEOs to
