Consider the following statements

1. The One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) scheme is aimed at enabling migrant workers and their family members to buy subsidised ration from any fair price shop anywhere in the country under the National Food Security Act, 2013.
2. Implementation of ONORC is a precondition for additional borrowing by states.
3. Non-NFSA ration cardholders are also covered under the ONORC.

Select the correct statement.

• One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) scheme allows all beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act, 2013, particularly migrant beneficiaries, to claim either full or part foodgrains from any Fair Price Shop (FPS) in the country through existing ration card. The system also allows their family members back home, if any, to claim the balance foodgrains on the same ration card.
• In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centre set the implementation of ONORC as a precondition for additional borrowing by states.
• Non-NFSA ration card holders are not covered under the ONORC.

Hence both statements 1&2 are correct.
