Such people in need of foodgrains will be able to borrow foodgrains from Village Grain Banks set up within the village. The group will decide the quantity to be lent and period of repayment themselves. The grain banks are to be set up in food scarce areas like the drought prone areas, tribal areas and the inaccessible hilly areas, which remain cut off during natural calamities like flood etc. The scheme will have two component, viz, food component and cash component. Under the food component each grain bank will store one quintal of foodgrains (rice and wheat) per family for an average 40 BPL/Antyodaya families, which will be released as one time grant free of cost by Central Government. The cash component will include cost of weights and measures, storage bins/godowns,
