Telangana to issue 1.05cr smart ration cards, Revanth Reddy launching
India
Telangana is rolling out 10.5 million smart ration cards this Independence Day, aiming to strengthen food security for eligible households.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will kick things off in Sangareddy, with events happening all across the state so that every eligible family gets their card.
PVC smart cards with anti-duplication features
These aren't just any ration cards: they're laminated PVC smart cards with QR code and extra security features to stop duplication and misuse.
Officials are hustling to wrap up e-KYC checks, finalize who's on the list, and set up venues so distribution goes off without a hitch.
The move is set to help even more families access essentials through Telangana's PDS network.
