My Ration mobile application launched
The Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution launched the "Mera Ration" mobile application on March 12, 2021 for those who migrated to new places in search of livelihood for these ration card holders.
Currently, 32 States and Union Territories are covered under One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) and the remaining four States and UTs are expected to be integrated into the scheme in the next few months.
What is National Food Security Act?
Under the National Food Security Act, the center provides highly subsidized foodgrains at Rs 1-3 per kg to over 81 crore people through the public distribution system (PDS).
The act also offers ration card portability service ‘One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC)’ in 32 states and union territories.
The app is available in Hindi and English, but will soon be available in 14 other languages. The biggest thing is that this app will also provide information on when and from which shop rations have been taken.
