Namma Ration (ನಮ್ಮ ರೇಷನ್)

License: MIT GitHub issues GitHub forks GitHub stars

A user-friendly and accessible web frontend for Namma Ration, a platform designed to assist BPL (Below Poverty Line) cardholders in easily accessing information and services related to the public distribution system.

About The Project

In many regions, accessing information about ration entitlements, distribution schedules, and fair price shop (FPS) locations can be a challenging process for BPL cardholders. This project aims to bridge that information gap with a clean, simple, and mobile-friendly web interface.

Our Core Goals:

  • Simplicity: Provide a straightforward UI that is easy to navigate, even for users with limited digital literacy.
  • Accessibility: Ensure the website is accessible to people with disabilities by following WCAG guidelines.
  • Information Clarity: Present crucial information—such as monthly entitlements, stock availability, and transaction history—in a clear and understandable format.
  • Multilingual Support: Offer content in multiple local languages to cater to a diverse user base.

Key Features

  • Entitlement Check: Users can view their monthly food grain entitlements.
  • Fair Price Shop Locator: An integrated map to find the nearest ration shops.
  • Transaction History: View past transactions and collected items.
  • Announcements: A section for important updates from the food and civil supplies department.
  • Responsive Design: Fully functional on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
