Hyderabad, July 3: In a significant move towards digitalization and modernization of public services, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is scheduled to distribute new ration cards to beneficiaries at a public meeting to be held at Tirumalagiri in Thungathurthy Assembly constituency in the erstwhile Nalgonda district on July 14.
The event, which marks the beginning of the state government’s plan to issue 4.43 lakh ration cards in the 2025 calendar year, assumes significance as local body elections are approaching. The distribution of these smart ration cards could potentially impact the upcoming elections, given their digital nature and improved security features.
The new ration cards being distributed contain QR codes for increased security, part of a larger plan by the state government to ensure better management and transparency in civil supplies. The use of technology is expected to reduce instances of fraud and improve the efficiency of the distribution process.
WhatsApp has been reportedly used as a communication tool for beneficiaries regarding the distribution of these smart ration cards. The government has employed a robust information dissemination strategy to ensure that all eligible citizens are aware of the changes and can participate in the transition towards digital ration cards.
The distribution of these smart ration cards is set to revolutionize the civil supplies sector in Telangana, making it more efficient, secure, and transparent for all involved. Further updates on the progress and impact of this initiative will be provided as the story develops. Stay tuned.
