New Delhi: The Union Territory of Jammu, Kashmir and 3 states have joined the one nation one ration card scheme.  Apart from the Union Territory, Jammu and Kashmir, the 3 states where One Nation One Ration Card Scheme has been started from today are Uttarakhand, Manipur and Nagaland.

Now the people of other states living in these states will be able to get their allotted food grains from the government ration shop through their home state's ration card. Along with this, people of these 4 states living in other states already covered under this scheme will also be able to get government ration. A feature of this scheme is that it does not require beneficiaries to have a separate ration card. For example, if a native of Uttar Pradesh is residing in Maharashtra for a job or for some reason, then they can get ration in Maharashtra with their original ration card.

Only their ration card needs to be linked with the Aadhar card. The target has been set to implement this scheme across the country by 31 March 2021. After that, the people of the country will be able to take their share of government grain from anywhere in the country. However, sources in the Food Ministry say that efforts are on to implement it across the country by the end of this year.
