The Hindu Business Line published an opinion piece co-authored by A4NH Senior Research Fellow Devesh Roy on Indian Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan’s announcement of a new system known as ‘One Nation One Ration Card’ (ONORC). Drawing upon research in Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh, Roy argued that the program would improve the provision of entitlements and especially benefit migrants and women. Roy ultimately argued that for ONORC to improve outcomes, close monitoring and infrastructural improvements are needed.
