There have been no queues at shops, and the improvements we introduced have helped. “We have also expanded the eligible categories that can be utilised, and we now allow the purchase of frozen food items. As I mentioned in parliament earlier, we will continue to make improvements, and this will help the people in the future,” he told reporters after launching Jana MyPesara here today. Jana MyPesara is a microfinancing initiative aimed at helping retirees manage and run their businesses in a more structured manner.
