more-inThe Civil Supplies Department of Telangana has launched a mobile app, T-Ration, for providing better services to the families having household supply or ration (food security) cards for drawing various commodities supplied by the government at subsidised prices. Explaining the features of the mobile app, the Commissioner stated that it would offer 7 G2C (Government to Citizen) and 13 G2G (Government to Government) services. Apart from allocation of commodities to a particular ration card, ration card search, ration shop location, allocation of commodities to a ration shop, current stock at ration shop and ration card transactions, it would also provide information on the department's services linked to Mee Seva services.
