One nation, One Ration Card Scheme of the Central Government, is getting into reality: Central Government will implement one nation, one ration card, from January 15 in 12 states. It is six months earlier than its scheduled launch in June 2020. It enables migrant workers from other states to get their ration supply from wherever they work.
But they will not get any of their state government benefits but only will be able to procure the essential subsidized supplies of the Central Government. Also, many fear that the central government will introduce many of its schemes through this one nation, one ration card system in the future.
There are approximately 79 crore ration cardholders in India. They get many subsidized foods and other supplies from their state governments. The new scheme of the central government, which linked the ration card with Aadhar is brining all these beneficiaries under the purview of the Central government.
