new Delhi. The last date of One Nation, One Ration Card scheme of National Democratic Alliance-NDA Modi government can be extended from March 2021. So far 24 states have agreed to join the scheme. Nothing is clear about the condition of the other states. Under this scheme, people taking advantage of Public Distribution System-PDS can take ration from any state with biometric verification shops.
These states will not be includedÂ
The biggest hurdles of this plan are some states including West Bengal (West Bengal), Tamil Nadu (Assam), Odisha (Odisha) and Chhattisgarh (Chhattisgarh), which have expressed concern over the scheme and the central government’s plan. Has decided not to be a part of. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has said that subsidized food items like rice and pulses will be available for migrant labourers and unorganized sector labourers by May 2021. Whether he has a ration card or not.
A senior official of the Standing Committee on Labor said that only 24 state governments and union territories are associated with the scheme. But senior officials of the Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution) could not convince the other state governments. One reason for moving this scheme ahead of March 2021 could also be that electronic point of sale -e-POS machines have not been installed in ration shops.
