However, the government has given this option to the people as to how they want to take ration. Even in the era of door-step delivery, people can go to the center and take ration if they want.
In Delhi, the ration scheme of the AAP government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has again been braked. The central government has not given permission for this and cited the National Food Security Act (NFSA) as the reason behind the ban. On Saturday, AAP accused the BJP of using the machinery of the central government to stop door-to-door delivery of ration in Delhi. In the midst of this era of allegations and counter-allegations and politics, let us understand what is the scheme of Delhi government and how it will be benefited:
“Mukhya Mantri Ghar Ghar Ration Yojana” or the door-to-door ration scheme of Delhi Government is for all those people whose ration cards are made. Those who get ration from the government ration shop, they will be able to get its benefit. In fact, till earlier people had to line up at government centers, due to which their time was wasted along with chaos. To end this, the government started home delivery of ration, under which the ration would be delivered to the home address of the beneficiaries.
However, the government has given this option to the people as to how they want to take ration. Even in the era of door-step delivery, people can go to the center and take ration if they want. By the way, there is a fine difference here and that in the home delivery of ration, the beneficiaries will get ground flour, while the shop will get wheat. Not only this, the Delhi government will also give an option to opt out of this scheme.
According to the information, before the delivery of ration, the thumb impression of the beneficiary will be matched so that no fraud can be done. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has given a big relief to those people who do not have ration cards . Such people will continue to be given free ration from the government for the time being. There will be around 40 lakh non-PDS beneficiaries under the purview of this decision of the Delhi government.
What will happen at home delivery?: As per the scheme, the beneficiaries who will sign-up for the scheme will be informed about this (delivery of ration) in advance. This information will be given to them in advance through SMS. Just like in the case of LPG. Later, the packed ration will be given to the beneficiary after biometric verification through e-POS method. If the beneficiaries want, they can take their monthly ration in one go or they will be able to get it in installments. In addition to the cost of grain, a specified amount, which is yet to be disclosed, will be charged for turning wheat into flour and cleaning rice.
