New Delhi: If you have also become a ration card holder, then this information is being considered very important for you. The Department of Food and Public Distribution has started getting a lot of benefits by making changes in the rules of ration card. Under this, now the standards set for the eligible people taking ration from government ration shops have to be changed.
Let us tell you that the draft of the new standard is almost ready now. For this the process of meetings with the state governments is also going to be completed. Let us know about it in detail-
Why has the standard changed?
It is worth noting that there are many such people in the country who are starting to take advantage of ration in a fake way. According to the Department of Food and Public Distribution, at present, 80 crore people across the country are taking advantage of the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
Many of these people have also become present who are considered to be financially prosperous. This is the reason that now the government is preparing to change its rules. The new standard has to be made completely transparent so that any malpractices in it are completely avoided.
Keeping in mind the suggestions given by the state governments, a new standard has been prepared, which is to be finalized soon.
It is believed that till now the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card (ONORC) scheme’ is going to be implemented in 32 states and UTs. If seen under crores of beneficiaries i.e. NFSA, then 86 percent of the population is going to take advantage of this scheme.
Every month about 1.5 crore people are getting benefit by moving from one place to another. The free ration scheme has also been increased to help the government people.
