Maharashtra State PSC Model Paper 2

The correct answer is Antyodaya Card.

• There are three types of ration cards in India:-
  • Antyodaya cards for the poorest of the poor
  • BPL cards for those below the poverty line
  • APL cards for all others
• The rationing system was revived in the wake of an acute food shortage during the 1960s, prior to the Green Revolution.
• The food procured by the FCI is distributed through government-regulated ration shops among the poorer section of the society. This is called the Public Distribution System.
