Prime minister Narendra Modi on July 1, claimed that the one nation, one ration card (ONORC) scheme has helped millions of people during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially migrant workers who make up 1/4th of India’s population. Under the ONORC scheme, migrant workers are allowed to receive ration benefits in any part of the country irrespective of where a ration cardholder is registered. It is part of the government’s flagship Digital India mission which has now been running for six years.
