For such people, the Government of India provides ration at a low price under the National Food Security Act.

To take advantage of the facility of low-cost ration, people must have a ration card. To get a ration card, people have to go to the Food Department and put their thumb impression. Which reveals their identity. But in Uttar Pradesh, people will get ration without putting their thumb impression on the POS machine. The Yogi government has changed this rule. Let us tell you the whole news.

The ration will be available through OTP.

In Uttar Pradesh too, crores of people take advantage of different government schemes on ration cards. They also take ration at a very low price.
