Chandigarh, September 10

The Punjab Government is all set to launch its ‘Smart Ration Card Scheme’ under the National Food Security Act on September 12.

While Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh would launch the scheme from Chandigarh, ministers and MLAs would be launching the scheme at the district and block level. Around 35 lakh smart ration cards are to be issued.

The scheme would cover 1.41 crore beneficiaries, enrolled with the Department of Food and Civil Supplies. Instead of ‘Atta Dal’ Scheme, it has been renamed as ‘Smart Ration Card Scheme’. — TNS
