New ration cards to be issued as Sankranti Gift for people

Starting December 2, the government will begin accepting applications for new ration cards and related services, ensuring widespread accessibility to essential commodities under the Public Distribution System (PDS).

In a significant move aimed at benefiting eligible low-income families, the Andhra Pradesh coalition government has announced the issuance of new ration cards as a Sankranti gift. Starting December 2, the government will begin accepting applications for new ration cards and related services, ensuring widespread accessibility to essential commodities under the Public Distribution System (PDS).

This decision comes in response to growing concerns over the backlog of ration card applications left unaddressed during the tenure of the previous administration. Thousands of families, including newlyweds and those allegedly denied ration cards due to political reasons, have been awaiting access to the state's welfare benefits.
