Updates on New Ration Cards
Despite assurances from the newly elected Congress government that it would soon begin accepting applications for new ration cards, there has been no official announcement or acceptance of applications so far. When the government took office, it launched the “Prajapalana Program” as part of its six key promises, which included the submission of applications for various benefits, such as subsidized electricity. Although applications for new ration cards were also accepted during this program, no further action has been taken, nor have any new ration cards been issued yet.
Additionally, the government had recently introduced a new “Family Digital Card” and announced that applications for it would be accepted, but no further details have been provided regarding this program either.
Benefits of New Ration Cards
Eligible families with new ration cards in Telangana receive essential commodities at subsidized rates, including rice, wheat, oil, sugar, and other necessities. This program aims to support low-income families across the state by ensuring they have access to affordable food and basic supplies.
The government has urged citizens to correct their existing ration cards as soon as possible. However, applications for new ration cards are not currently being accepted.
