The Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana is a program launched by the Central and State Governments to provide low- or no-cost wheat, rice, oil, gram, and maize to low-income families.
The central government and the states have received a total food subsidy of Rs 3.91 lakh crore through the scheme. The nation has distributed 1,118 lakh tonnes of rations thus far.
You will need a ration card in order to take advantage of this program. You can do so online if you want to include the name of a new family member on the ration card. A photocopy of the family’s ration card is required for the addition of a new member’s name.
Children’s birth certificates and parents’ Aadhaar cards will be required. A woman who just got married must have her parents’ ration card, marriage certificate, and Aadhaar card.
One of the most important documents needed to verify an identity card is a ration card. It is used to get free and cheap food and to take advantage of numerous other government programs.
Go to the state’s food supply’s official website to add a new member’s name online. Take, for instance, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) website at https://fcs.up.gov.in/FoodPortal.aspx if you are a resident there.
