Food Grains Distribution by District under the AAY Scheme (2022-23)


Analysis

Allotment vs. Off-take: Off-take represents the actual quantity of rice distributed, while allotment and lifting represent planned and received quantities, respectively. Most districts show an off-take figure that is slightly lower than the allotment, indicating that some allotted rice was not taken up. 
Districts with High Off-take: Thrissur has an off-take (20,978.16 MT) that significantly exceeds its allotment and lifting quantities (18,915.32 MT). This suggests either additional demand or possible reallocation from other areas. Kollam, Idukki, and Kozhikode also have off-take values slightly higher than their lifting quantities, indicating higher utilization.
Districts with Lower Off-take: Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha have off-take amounts significantly below their allotment, which might indicate either reduced demand or logistical challenges in distribution.Kannur and Kasaragod also show lower off-take than allotment, though the difference is smaller.
Consistency in Allotment and Lifting: In most districts, allotment and lifting figures are identical, showing effective logistical coordination in getting allocated rice to distribution points.

Conclusion:

Overall, the data reflects effective distribution under the AAY scheme, with most districts managing to lift close to their allotment. However, differences in off-take indicate varying demand across districts, with Thrissur notably exceeding its allotment and lifting, while Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha show under-utilization. This insight could guide future adjustments in district-wise allocations to optimize resource distribution.
