Under the National Food Security Act, the government provides food grains through the Public Distribution System to more than 81 crore people at a subsidy of Rs 1-3 per kg.
If you have a ration card, now you will not have to go to the PDS center for all the information related to the quota. The hassle of getting in line at the ration shop will also be over and the information you want to get will be found sitting at home. The government has introduced a special facility for this. To take advantage of this facility, it is most important that you should have a smart phone. If you do not have a smart phone, then you can do this work with the smart phone of a member of your family.
The central government introduced the One Nation One Ration Card scheme during the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of Corona epidemic. The aim was that during the lockdown, people should not face any problem in getting ration and they did not have to bother for food. Under this scheme, the government has launched an app. You will have to download the app from Google Play Store.
