Question

The period between 1965 and 1967 was that of a severe food crisis. Therefore,
each family was allowed to have wheat, rice, edible oils and sugar, etc., in limited
quantities. These commodities were available at Ration Shops only through a Ration
Card. Sometimes people had to stand in the queue for hours to get these things. Talk
to your elders in the family and gather the following information about those days:
(a) What is a Ration Card?
(b) Were the commodities (rice, sugar, cooking oil, etc.) available at ration shops
sufficient to fulfill the needs of the family or things had to be bought from the
market as well?
(c) Does your family still possess a Ration Card? If yes, what commodities do you
buy from the fair-price shops now-a-days?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Ration cards are an official document issued by state governments in India to households that are eligible to purchase subsidised food grain from the Public Distribution System under the National Food Security Act. They also serve as a common form of identification for many Indians.
