Telangana: New Ration Card Distribution to Begin March 2025: Find Out Your Status
Hyderabad, 17 February – (www.deccanlive.com): The Telangana State Government is working on issuing new ration cards. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy started this process on January 26. However, people are still waiting to know when the new ration cards will be distributed.
Elections for Graduate MLC and Teacher MLC seats will happen on February 27, with results expected in early March. Because of this, the distribution of new ration cards is likely to begin by the end of March. Meanwhile, the government is still adding, removing, and updating names in existing ration cards.
Selection Process in Greater Hyderabad
In Greater Hyderabad, the selection of beneficiaries for new ration cards is complete. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will hold ward meetings in early March to finalize the distribution. These meetings were initially planned for February but were delayed due to the verification process for the Indiramma Housing Scheme.
Under the Indiramma Housing Scheme, 10,70,659 applications were received. Surveys are being done to identify eligible beneficiaries, and this process will take another 10 to 12 days. After this, GHMC will hold ward meetings in early March to finalize the list of eligible beneficiaries.
Status of Ration Card Applications in Hyderabad
In Greater Hyderabad, 83,285 people applied for ration cards, and around 75,000 have been identified as eligible. However, the official list of beneficiaries has not been announced yet due to the delay in ward meetings.
Earlier, the government allowed people to reapply for ration cards through MeeSeva centers. This caused confusion as many people who had already applied submitted their applications again.
Finalizing Beneficiary Lists
The Indiramma Housing Scheme survey is expected to finish in two weeks. After this, village-level meetings will be held in early March to announce the final lists for:
- New ration card beneficiaries
- Indiramma housing scheme beneficiaries
Many citizens are asking the government to release the final list of ration card beneficiaries before the ward meetings since the selection process is already complete. The delay has caused concerns and uncertainty among applicants waiting for their new ration cards.
