Henceforth, they can directly go to the village secretariat and apply for the cards. Cards are being issued to people on merit basis, where their eligibility to avail the welfare schemes is the only consideration.
After examining the applications, the state government has issued rice cards to over 2.90 lakh eligible families in the last two months.
According to reports, there are over 97.24 lakh families who have been benefited with this free ration distribution, till sunday august 9.
The state government is distributing about 5 lakh metric tons of rice every month and the rice is being distributed to people in two installments.
After visiting the gram (village) secretariat once to apply for the card, people need not go back to the village secretariat for this purpose. The village volunteers will distribute the cards to the applicant’s right at their homes. The people of the state are expressing their happiness with YS jagan government's novel approach of home-delivering the rice cards through village volunteers. During the previous government led by chandrababu naidu, people said that they have faced tough times and eligible beneficiaries didn't get rice cards even after going to government offices several times, after the application.
