PASSAGE on “One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC)”

Passage: The One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) was started initially in 4 States in August 2019. Since then, progressively in a phase-wise manner, the ONROC plan is presently covering nearly 77 Crore beneficiaries (almost 96.8% of NFSA population) in the country.

During the last two years of COVID-19 pandemic, ONORC plan has significantly contributed in ensuring subsidized foodgrains to NFSA (National Food Security Act) beneficiaries, especially migrant beneficiaries. This is one-of-its-kind Citizen Centric initiative in the country, which is swiftly implemented in a short-span of time covering about 80 Crore beneficiaries, after being initiated in August 2019.

In case of non-supply of the entitled quantities of foodgrains or meals to entitled persons under the scheme mentioned in the passage, such persons shall be entitled to receive such food security allowance from the concerned State Government to be paid to each person, within such time and manner as may be prescribed by the Central Government.
