      What is the One Nation One Ration Card Scheme?

      The Nation One Ration Card Scheme is a central government initiative which allows eligible beneficiaries to avail food grains they are entitle to.

      Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) from any Fair Price Shop (FPS) also known as ration shops across the country.

      This scheme eliminates the need to obtain a new ration card for the new location.

      This is aim to ensure that the beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) and other welfare schemes, especially the migrant workers and their families, get ration from any Fair Price Shop (FPS) in India.

      Other aims were to better target beneficiaries, elimination of bogus/duplicate/ ineligible ration cards, and thus enhance the welfare and reduce leakage.

      Who are Eligible Beneficiaries under the Nation One Ration Card Scheme?

      The beneficiaries under the system are ration cardholders who are eligible to get food grains from fair-price shops.

      Ration cardholders can buy up to 5 kg of rice at Rs 3/kg, wheat at Rs 2/kg, and coarse grains at Rs 1/kg per month as mandated under the National Food Security Act passed in 2013.

      Migrants had to apply for new ration cards at their new locations if they want to buy subsidised food grain, as the cards are linked to their residing places.

      This will help the large migratory population to avail the benefits anywhere across the country.
