Ration Card: Even today, many people in our country are economically weak. At the same time, many people are forced to live below the poverty line. Such people are divided into APL and BPL groups. To help them, many types of schemes are being run by the state and central governments, which such people are taking advantage of. In this sequence, an ambitious scheme for BPL families is Antyodaya Yojana, which is run by the Government of India.
Under this scheme, BPL ration cards are made for eligible people, through which you get the benefit of a free ration every month. At the same time, people more prosperous than them, i.e. lower middle-class families, are given ration on subsidy by charging a nominal fee with the help of an APL ration card. In such a situation, if the name of any member of your family is not added to the BPL or APL ration card, then you can add it anytime. This is to ensure that every member of your family can take advantage of government schemes.
