In Andhra Pradesh, a novel step has been taken to distribute essential commodities at the doorstep of beneficiaries via mobile dispensing units or MDUs. The idea is to do away with the need to visit ration shops or stand in long queues for hours to get what they need. Now, with commodities being delivered at the doorstep, the facility will also provide employment to about 10,000 people. Andhra Pradesh is one of the first states in India to launch these MDUs, about 9,262 of them, to serve about five crore people.
