It is an important citizen centric reform and its implementation ensures availability of ration to beneficiaries under National Food Security Act and other welfare schemes, at any Fair Price Shop across the country. The reform especially empowers the migratory population mostly labourers, daily wagers, urban poor like rag pickers, street dwellers, temporary workers in organised and unorganised sectors, domestic workers etc, who frequently change their place of dwelling to be self reliant in food security. This technology driven reform enables the migrant beneficiaries to get their entitled quota of food grains from any electronic point of sale (e-PoS) enabled fair Price Shops of their choice anywhere in the country. The reform also enables the States in better targeting of beneficiaries, elimination of bogus or duplicate or ineligible card holders resulting in enhanced welfare and reduced leakage. The scheme currently covers over 75 crore beneficiaries which is over 94 per cent of the NFSA population through 23 crore ration cards spanning across 34 States and Union Territories.&nbsp;</span><br />
