Dalberg Global Development Advisors, a strategy and policy advisory firm, in a study on ‘One Nation One Ration Card’ (ONORC), a Central government scheme aimed at nationalising ration cards, has found that 92% of the households in Andhra Pradesh are aware of the portability process.
Aadhaar seeding ensures that the beneficiaries of the ONORC scheme can pick up their entitled food grains from any fair price shop across the country, which means food security of the families of migrants remains assured.
The study titled ‘Fulfilling the promise of One Nation One Ration Card‘ was conducted in five States—Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. “About 19% of the households in Andhra Pradesh had tried to avail rations under the portability scheme in the month preceding the survey,” said the study report.
