<h1>Government Acts to Shield Vulnerable Groups from Inflation with Subsidies, Import Adjustments, and Price Stabilization Efforts.</h1> The government has implemented several measures to protect vulnerable populations from rising prices. Central issue prices for rice and wheat have been maintained since 2002 for below poverty line (BPL) and Antodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) families. Foodgrain allocations under the targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) are provided at subsidized rates. The government has also subsidized imports of pulses and edible oils, reduced import duties on essential commodities, and imposed export bans and stock limits on select items. Additionally, fiscal and monetary measures, such as the National Mission for Protein Supplements and RBI's policy rate adjustments, aim to stabilize prices and support consumers.
