Foodstuffs in India are distributed by the government at affordable prices through ration cards.
As the quantity of food items is distributed according to the number of family members, newly married people prefer to add the child's name to the ration card to get additional items after the birth of the child.
Earlier, if you want to add the child's name to the ration card, you have to visit the office.
But now you can go to the website of the state food supply department (www.tnepds.gov.in) and apply online on the page "add member to ration card".
