The energy at Wangala today was breathtaking! The beats of 1,000 drums, the beautiful traditional performances and the warmth of the Garo people made the Golden Jubilee celebrations truly special.
Wangala is a festival deeply rooted in the Garo way of life. Celebrated after the harvest, it is a time to express gratitude to the Almighty for nature’s bounty and to celebrate their rich traditions and heritage.
It was an honour to be a part of this special occasion in West Garo Hills, Meghalaya. I carry back some wonderful memories and extend my warmest wishes to the Garo community 🙏🏻

A trail of stolen tusks led all the way to Bhutan. Through a sharp blend of technical and human surveillance, Assam Police cracked the case in just 48 hours.
Operation Hasti Bandhu is a reminder that wildlife crime may cross borders, but the law will follow.

One Nation, One Ration Card
Food Security Without Boundaries
▶️ One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) scheme was launched in 2019 by the Department of Food & Public Distribution. It is a major reform of the Public Distribution System (PDS), enabling nationwide portability of ration cards and beneficiaries covered under the National Food Security Act (NFSA)
▶️ NFSA establishes legal entitlements for subsidized food grains, while TPDS distributes these grains to eligible beneficiaries
▶️ Under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) reforms, #ONORC uses technology to enable beneficiaries to access their entitled foodgrains anywhere in the country
▶️ ONORC facilitates approximately 3.27 crore portability transactions every month
▶️ As part of technology-driven TPDS reforms under ONORC, the Department launched the Mera Ration mobile application. Available in 13 languages, the app helps beneficiaries access important ration-related information and services
