After Subhadra, PM-JAY success, govt readies to distribute new ration cards
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|April 19, 2025
RIDING on the successful launch of Subhadra Yojana and Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY in Odisha, the Mohan Charan Majhi-led BJP government is now set to distribute new ration cards to eligible beneficiaries across the state.
Sources said a draft list of beneficiaries has been prepared and the block/ULB level BDO or executive officers have been given access to move the eligible cases to the final priority list.
"The BDOs, municipal commissioners and executive officers have been asked to generate the ration card pdfs (both sides) with new colour combination and laminate the cards by April 22. The laminated copies of ration cards will be distributed among eligible beneficiaries," said the sources.
This move comes after a months-long e-KYC verification process that saw over 13.86 lakh new applications and deletion of around 5.2 lakh beneficiaries, including over four lakh deceased and one lakh ineligible card holders.
