 | | In Kandhamal, which has a population of 647,912, 118,544 ration cards in circulation and 257 FPS, the offtake of Antyodaya rice was almost always lesser than allotment between April and August 2002. |
 | | In Kandhamal, the demand for levy sugar was higher, with the offtake being over 50 percent of the allotment in May 2002. |
 | | In Kandhamal, in April and May the offtake of Annapurna rice (supplied free) was higher than allotments (which were nil), indicating that communities would certainly access commodities provided they had the opportunity, terrain and time notwithstanding. |
