Ration Card Online: Apply Easily from Home Through Mobile App
Government Simplifies Ration Card Process for Needy Families
In India, millions of families still struggle to afford daily food supplies. To support such poor and underprivileged households, the Government of India, under the National Food Security Act, provides free or subsidized ration through fair price shops.
To access this benefit, every family must have a valid ration card.
