An ambitious scheme is being operated by the Government of India, known as One Nation One Ration Card. Free and cheap rations are provided under this scheme. Now to make the ration system more organized, a mobile app has been started by the Food and Public Distribution Department.
This app will benefit the beneficiaries covered under the National Food Security Act. These beneficiaries will be able to know for themselves how much grain they will get from this app. The name of this new app is “Mera Ration App”. The main goal of this app will be to bring complete transparency in the ration distribution process.
The biggest benefit of this app will be for the expatriates, because under this One Nation One Ration Card, the card holder can get food grains from any ration shop in any region of the country. The beneficiary of this scheme can easily get the information about the ration shops running under the public distribution system in his vicinity.
