The initiative should be accompanied by divisibility in entitlements between two units of a geographically-dispersed household.
At the recently held BusinessLine Agri Summit, Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ram Vilas Paswan said that 20 States will move to ‘one nation one ration card’ (ONORC) from June 1. The move will yield two clear benefits. First, it will confer greater choice to the consumer, who will not be compelled to buy her requirements from a particular single fair price shop (FPS) in her neighbourhood. Second, it will be a boon to migrants, who are saved the hassle of establishing their credentials all over again. The Economic Survey 2016-17 observes: “The first-ever estimates of internal work-related migration using railways data for the period 2011-2016 indicate an annual average flow of close to 9 million people between the States.” It also points out that the “acceleration of migration was particularly pronounced for females”. The ONORC should be accompanied by divisibility in entitlements between two units of a geographically-dispersed household. For that, ‘interoperability’ of the database should become the norm. With the States already being able to monitor the stock limits of dealers in real time, owing to e-PoS transactions being conducted through smart cards or Aadhaar seeding, this is not a big ask, although some States lag severely in digitisation.
