Ration on wheels was conceptualised under the leadership of Dr Piyush Singla IAS with Mr. Haseeb IAS probationer and Mr Arif Asst Director CAPD working on the ground.
In Udhampur town, a team of volunteers was created with each ration dealer given 2-3 volunteers. The volunteers were drawn from Youth corps and Rehbar e Khel. Numbers of ration dealers were made available to the public.
The public could make their bookings from 8 AM to 1 PM everyday and the volunteers would go and deliver the ration at the door steps.
This initiative was praised and has been replicated at many places.
