In earlier systems of Ration card for food, it was very rare to hear that somebody dies because they couldn't get ration because they bio were not getting authenticated. In Aadhar case there has been these cases in double digit.
- rohit2412 8y agoBecause there was no authentication earlier? And one would easily replicate a fake ration card/passport to steal? Maybe ration is a system where adhaar should not be applied, or a system of quick appeal should be created. But how is relying on peice of papers like birth certificate/ration card/passport a better system for authentication and identification?
- davchana 8y ago> fake passport Can you please read it again & think how many people you know or read about who had fake passports to get ration? Heck people who need subsidized ration most probably do not even have the Original passport & not even the need for that. Only ration cards were used for ration, if you know, & someof them were specific. Light green A5 size booklet were the common one, anybody could have it, but not everybody could get ration on it. So most of the time it was used as address & ID proof as it had address, photo of all family members. Only kerosine oil, sugar, soap was available on it. Then there were blue books, yellow cards etc for people below poverty line, enabling them free wheat, rice, salt etc. Nobody could fake a ration card because the depot incharge also had a master register, where the card details need to be matched.
