![After Bharat Atta and Bharat Chana Dal, Bharat Rice now on cards!](http://media.assettype.com/news-crunch%2F2023-12%2F38276e5d-a1b4-4216-a022-bf045c1cf138%2Fchawal.jpg?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
To protect the common people from inflation, the central government will now sell Bharat Rice at a lower price. The government is going to sell rice at the price of Rs 25 per kg. Earlier, wheat and pulses were also being sold under the brand name "Bharat".
The price of one kg rice in the open market starts from Rs 35 to Rs 40. In such a period of inflation, the Central Government is trying to provide convenience to the common people by taking the decision of selling rice along with flour and pulses. People can buy "Bharat" brand products from NAFED, NCCF and Kendriya Bhandar.
The central government does not want inflation to become a problem for the common people before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. A few days ago, Bharat Atta started selling at the rate of Rs 27.50 and Chana Dal at the rate of Rs 60 per kg. Now rice will be sold at Rs 25 per kg. To control inflation, the government has controlled the export of wheat, rice and onion.
