In the Uttarakhand Cabinet meeting yesterday, the Uttarakhand Government approved the proposal of giving a minimum honorarium of Rs 3000 per month to PDS shopkeepers (Public Distribution System OR Sarkari Saste Galle Ki Dukan OR Government Ration Shop) in Uttarakhand.

But there's a condition here, the honorarium will be paid to only those PDS shop owners, who have ration cards in the range of 50-300.

According to estimates, about 6000 PDS shop owners in Uttarakhand will be benefited from this decision.
