The Mera Ration mobile application, launched under ONORC, is available in how many languages?
- A.8
- B.11
- C.13
- D.22
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 13. The backgrounder records that the Mera Ration mobile application, brought out by the Department of Food and Public Distribution as part of the technology-driven reforms under ONORC, is offered in 13 languages. Using it, a beneficiary can look up the monthly foodgrain entitlement, read details of past transactions, verify whether the ration card has been seeded with Aadhaar, test eligibility for national portability, register voluntarily for ONORC, find nearby Fair Price Shops through GPS and follow a map to the closest one. Options A and B are both wrong: each understates the figure and neither appears in the note. Option D is wrong too, since no such number is given for the app anywhere in the material. The app was designed chiefly for migrant workers, who need to locate a shop quickly after moving to an unfamiliar place.
