NEw new delhi, Aiming to reclaim the solid food statistical distribution scheme, the Delhi government is planning to issue ration cards based on district quotas determined by population, a senior government official said on Thursday.In the national capital, ration is distributed through e-PoS devices after biometric authentication of beneficiaries."Under the new rules , the Delhi government will be allocating ration card quotas based on each district's population. For now, the existing census will be the guide," the official said.The Delhi government will also be verifying ration card holders to weed out ineligible beneficiaries, aiming to benefit those truly in need.Earlier, in a high-level review meeting headed by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, a new policy, Delhi Food Security Rules, 2025, was approved, which includes a 'family income certificate' to establish eligibility.Additionally, the official informed that "it was proposed in the meeting that a multi-layered grievance redressal system be established at the circle level, district level and state level."The government has also identified around 23,394 duplicate food security beneficiaries and about 95,682 'silent beneficiaries' individuals who are in the system for a long time without availing any benefits, as per a government document."The proposed Delhi Food Security Rules, 2025, will create a framework focusing on fair identification, prioritising needs and ensuring accountability, ultimately strengthening food security for the economically weaker sections," officials said.Another aspect of the new policy would be constituting district-level committees, which will be set up to prioritise the "poorest of the poor.""These committees, led by the DM or ADM, will ensure the most needy are prioritised and maintain a 20 per cent waiting list. The committee will include MLAs, SDMs and the assistant commissioner," officials added.The chief minister had already announced that the income limit of households for the ration card would be increased from ₹1 lakh to ₹1.2 lakh annually.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
