Socho Ranchi ke paas ek chhote se gaon ki Sunita bai ki baat. Unke ghar mein 6 log hain aur mahangi bazaar se chawal aur daal kharidna mushkil ho raha tha. Ek din unki beti ne phone par bataya – “Maa, Aahar Jharkhand portal par jaao, online form bhar do.” Bas 15 minute mein apply ho gaya aur kuch din baad unka ration card ready. Ab har mahine 5 kilo chawal aur gehun sasti rate par mil jaata hai. Sunita bai muskura kar kehti hain, “Yeh portal ne hamari roz ki pareshani kam kar di hai.”
