Government launches 'Anna Seve' app for e-KYC of ration cards

The Food and Civil Supplies Department has launched 'Anna Seve', a new mobile app, to eliminate the need for standing in queues or visiting offices for ration card e-KYC. Food Minister Rizwan Arshad launched the app at an event in Shivajinagar's Broad Way. He stated that this technological change aims to ensure that the poor do not face any difficulty in receiving rations. The app is currently available in a pilot project across 8 districts, including Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural. This facility allows over 4.5 crore beneficiaries in these districts to complete e-KYC from home.
