The Delhi government on 21 July 2020 approved a scheme for the home delivery of ration supplies, fulfilling a key election promise made earlier this year. Announcing the Mukhyamantri Ghar Ghar Ration Yojana scheme after a cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Mr Arvind Kejriwal said the scheme, once launched, will also be synced with the central government’s ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’ scheme for inter-state portability of ration cards. The entire process will take 6-7 months to implement, Mr Kejriwal said. Beneficiaries will still be able to choose to collect their ration from shops. Under home delivery, aata (flour) will be given instead of wheat. Ration packets will be prepared and delivered to beneficiaries’ doorstep.
