One nation one ration card scheme

One nation one ration card scheme has been an ambitious scheme of the present Central Government. The scheme was launched on 9 August 2019 in four states simultaneously. Following are these state Telangana, Maharastra, Gujrat and Andhra Pradesh. However, it was strongly opposed by the opposition. The Honorable Supreme Court also opposed it for some reason. Corona arrived in India, under this circumstance, there was a great need for this plan. The employment of the people of the lower income group, and lower middle class has ended . Their sources of income were exhausted. The most affected migrant laborers in this. These migrant laborers leave their state and go for employment in other states. However, all the state government provided considerable help to the migrant laborers. The state government made arrangements for ration and food grains for migrant laborers. But in the disaster, there was a need for this plan somewhere.

Inspired by this central government decided to apply One nation one ration card scheme across the whole country. So that migrant labour go for employment in any state, then that they can take their ration grain in the same state. For example , suppose 6 members in the migrant labours family and goes for employment in the another state alone, he alone can take his ration in another State, and rest of his family members in their basic state. Suppose he goes for employment in another state for 6 months in a year, in this situation he can take ration 6 months where he goes for employment and 6 months in its basic state. There is a plan to add each state by March 2021. By 1 June 2020 20 states of the country have joined. Three new state Orissa, Sikkim and Mizoram have been added to it. 67 crore people of the nation will benefit from this scheme. The present Food and supplies Minister Shri Ram Vilas Paswan ji has contributed a lot in this work. He has tweeted that the scheme is an ambitious plan of the UPA-2 government.
