Seventeen States have operationalised ‘One Nation One Ration Card system’. Uttarakhand is the latest State to complete the reform. States completing One Nation One Ration Card system reform are eligible for additional borrowing of 0.25 percent of Gross State Domestic Product. Accordingly, the Centre has granted additional borrowing permission of 37 thousand 600 crore rupees to these States.
One Nation One Ration Card System ensures availability of ration to beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act and other welfare schemes at any Fair Price Shop across the country. This technology driven reform especially empowers the migratory population who frequently change their place of dwelling to be self reliant in food security.
