What is Family Digital Card-One State One Card
Officials estimate that over 8.9 million ration cards are already in use in Telangana, covering a wide range of families, including the poor, middle-class, and even some wealthy individuals. The government believes that many people apply for ration cards primarily to access state and central government schemes. To simplify this process, the Telangana government launched a new initiative called the Family Digital Card under the “One State One Card” concept.
Family Digital card will allow eligible families to access not only ration supplies but also over 30 welfare schemes, including Aarogyasri, Rythu Bandhu, Shaadi Mubarak, Kalyana Lakshmi, Aasara Pension, and student fee reimbursement. A pilot project for this initiative began on October 3, covering 209 areas from 109 constituencies.

During the survey, women are identified as the heads of households, and details such as family composition, occupation, and Aadhaar card corrections are collected. The survey aims to create a single card for all services, avoiding the need for multiple documents. The pilot project, running from October 3 to 7, will be reviewed to address any challenges before a state-wide rollout.
Families do not need to be present for the survey unless they want to receive ration supplies. Once issued, the Family Digital Card will allow access to all government services, and changes such as adding or removing family members will be made easier.
