What is a Ration Card & Why It Matters
A ration card is an official document issued by state governments under the National Food Security Act (NFSA). It enables eligible households to purchase subsidized food grains (wheat, rice, sugar) from fair price shops. Beyond food security, it serves as a key identity proof for various government schemes, banking, and official documentation.
The card categorizes families into priority households, Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), and non-priority, determining subsidy benefits. It empowers millions by ensuring nutritional security and social support.
