3,000 Rice Aid Begins to be Distributed in Karawang Regency
KARAWANG (August 6, 2021) - To help ease the burden on residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), the Ministry of Social Affairs provided rice assistance to 3,000 residents of five kilograms each in Karawang Regency. This assistance targets residents outside the beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), or Cash Social Assistance (BST).
The Regent of Karawang, Cellica Nurrachadiana, ensures that there is no duplicate data on recipients of five kilograms of rice aid in the area she leads. This is in accordance with the direction of the Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, to local governments in all districts/cities to organize data collection as well as possible so that it is clear.
The aim is none other than to avoid overlapping aid recipients which is often a problem in the field. Furthermore, to avoid this, the Regent also monitored the distribution process with the distribution target being completed within two weeks with the help of social pillars, such as PKH Companions, District Social Welfare Workers (TKSK), and Community Social Workers (PSM).
