AP New Ration Cards: The Andhra Pradesh government has made an important announcement regarding new ration cards. This decision comes as part of the promises made by the ruling alliance during the 2024 elections. Their focus is now on public welfare and development, and issuing ration cards is a key part of this goal.
In a recent update, the government stated that people who had applied for ration cards under the previous administration do not need to apply again. About 3.36 lakh old applications are still under review. Officials assured that these applications are being carefully verified. Eligible applicants from this batch will soon receive their new ration cards.
For those who have not applied earlier, the government is launching a new application process. From May 15, people can apply through a special WhatsApp service called ‘Mana Mitra’. This move is aimed at making the process simple and accessible for everyone.
The applications received through WhatsApp will be reviewed during May, and the government plans to issue new ration cards by June 2025. This will benefit thousands of families across the state who are waiting for their cards.
A ration card is a very important document. It helps poor families get essential food items at low prices through the Public Distribution System (PDS). It also serves as proof of identity and residence for various government schemes.
This update shows the government’s commitment to fulfilling its promises. By using digital services like WhatsApp, the process has become easier for the common man.
People are advised to keep their documents ready and follow official updates for more information.
No need to reapply if applied earlier.

New applications from May 15 via WhatsApp (Mana Mitra).
