Common registration facility launched

SHILLONG, Aug 5: A ‘Common Registration Facility’ has been launched by the Department of Food and Public Distribution on pilot basis for Meghalaya and 10 other states.
The web-based facility will enable these 11 states to collect data of persons desirous of registering for inclusion under NFSA, including migrants residing in other states.
“This facility will help states/UTs in expeditiously identifying and verifying the eligible beneficiaries for coverage under NFSA as per their established inclusion and exclusion criteria, subject to the ceiling limit of NFSA of the State/UT and thus achieving the rightful targeting of benefits,” a statement in this regard said.
