Aadhaar failure: Several thousands in three districts in Odisha denied ration for two months -Ashlin Mathew

-National Herald

Odisha government made linking of Aadhaar with PDS compulsory for all beneficiaries; technological issues like low internet penetration contributing to humanitarian crisis

After Jharkhand, now several hundreds of ration cardholders from three districts in Odisha have been denied their Public Distribution System (PDS) food grains for at least 60 days mostly on the basis of the failure of Aadhaar system.

According to a survey conducted in three districts—Nabarangpur, Nuapada and Malkangiri— more than 35 per cent of those surveyed in these districts have not received their food grains. The survey was conducted only in families where one or more members were denied ration due to non-linking of Aadhaar. Of the 1,626 persons surveyed in 348 families, Aadhaar was not seeded with the ration cards of 574 members. Despite the small sample size, a large number of people were out of the PDS system. It is only likely that if a larger sample size would be surveyed, an equal percentage of people are likely to have been denied ration for non-seeding of the Aadhaar.
