An official advisory committee headed by Dr C. Rangarajan, Chairman, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, has interalia recommended removal of levy obligation on sugar mills, according to a latest update from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution. The Committee has further recommended that the states, which want to provide sugar under PDS, may henceforth procure it from the market directly according to their requirement and may also fix the issue price. The recommendations of the Committee are under consideration of the Government. Some cane farmers have supported the proposal. The views of State Governments on this matter have been invited, the update concludes.
