One ration card one country
This scheme was launched by the Ministry of housing and urban affairs in March 2019.
The objective of this scheme is to provide a big facility to ration card holders . Now they can purchase through this card from anywhere in India. Earlier a shop was defined in the card from where card users can go and shop for ration. It was the local area shop of that card holder.

Each ration card will have a unique ten digit card number. First two digits will refer to state code, next two digits refer to ration card number Ration card will be bilingual .One regional language and the other will be Hindi or English.
