The One Nation One Ration Card Scheme now allows eligible families to receive foodgrain allotments without applying for a new ration card, simplifying access to the Public Distribution System.
The central government has rolled out the One Nation One Ration Card Scheme, which allows families already holding a ration card to receive foodgrain allotments without the need to apply for a new card.
Under the scheme, beneficiaries can continue using their existing ration card to access the Public Distribution System, thereby reducing paperwork and speeding up delivery of subsidised grains.
The initiative is part of the government's broader effort to streamline the PDS and improve accessibility for rural and urban households across the country.
Officials say the scheme will help eliminate duplication of records and ensure that eligible families receive their entitlements more efficiently.
The rollout is expected to cover all states and union territories, with the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution overseeing implementation.
