Telangana to Roll Out New Ration Cards Starting 15 August

The Telangana government has announced that it will start distributing updated ration cards from August 15, aiming to modernise the system and improve tracking of beneficiaries. The new cards will be electronic, incorporating biometric data to reduce fraud and streamline distribution of food grains. Citizens will be required to visit ration card offices or use the online portal to submit required documents and receive their new cards. The rollout is expected to enhance accuracy of the beneficiary list and ensure timely delivery of subsidies.
