Portal
for homeless, destitute soon to avail free, highly subsidised foodgrain / msn
/ 26 Dec 2021
Extract :
In a bid to enable the homeless
and destitute to have access to free or highly subsidised food grains, the government will soon launch a portal through which NGOs and other civil society organisations could get
them registered.
The Centre will subsequently
send those names to different states to include them in the list of PDS
beneficiaries.
“Currently, this section of
people who direly deserve this highly subsidised food-grain are unable to get
them because they don’t have ration cards and their ration cards cannot be made
as they don’t have proof of residence. Making
ration cards is a very difficult process and it’s impossible for these most
vulnerable sections to get them despite the fact that they should be the first
ones to get this entitlement,” said
Union food secretary Sudhanshu Pandey. [

Participating in a discussion
held as a part of the Good Governance Week, Pandey said his ministry has asked
the NIC to come up with a “national portal” to
collect data of such vulnerable and most deserving people.
“The
NGOs can help them to register on the portal.
We will then ask the states concerned to include them in the beneficiaries
list,” he added.
Pandey told TOI that the work on this has started and this will be a big step to take
such benefits to the poorest of the poor.
He added that once these people
are included in the beneficiaries list, they can get subsidised foodgrain from
a place of their choice as is the case with ration cards under the ‘ One Nation One Ration Card ’ scheme.
Sources said the identity of
such beneficiaries can be verified by using biometric authentication with the help of point of
sale (PoS) machines.
