CM Revanth Reddy to launch distribution of smart ration cards on Aug 15 · thehansindia.com

In a place called Telangana, the government helps families buy food at lower prices using special cards called ration cards.

Many families already have these cards, but they are made of paper and can get damaged.

The government is now giving families new, shiny plastic cards that last much longer.

This will happen on August 15, a special day in India.

The big leader of the state, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, will start the giveaway in a town called Sangareddy.

At the same time, the same thing will happen in all 119 areas across the state.

The government is not giving cards to new people—it is just making better cards for families who already have them.

Officials say that if new families need cards, they can still get them later.
