In order to offer convenience to the citizens, the Government of India keeps on launching new mobile applications. Now, the government has launched a new ration app called ‘Mera Ration’ which will help the users to get friendly with the new ‘One Nation-One Ration Card’ system. According to the government, the new ration app will prove useful to those ration card holders who move to new places for livelihoods.
With the help of the One Nation One Ration Card system, the government covers 69 crore National Food Security Act (NFSA) beneficiaries in India. The NFSA beneficiaries are used by the government to provide more than 81 crore people with ‘highly subsidised foodgrains’ through the public distribution system (PDS).
Mera Ration app will help the government as well as the citizens to manage this system better. Currently, the app is available only on Android and here’s everything you need to know about it:
