The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh, India has launched an online portal, “Family ID – One Family One Identity” to make it easier for families to access government schemes. The portal, https://familyid.up.gov.in, aims to provide free or cheap ration to families who do not have a ration card and are not eligible for the National Food Security Scheme.

With the help of the portal, families can create their ID and take advantage of the schemes through it. The family ID will be the same as the ration card ID for those who already have one. For others, the ID will be generated through the portal, and all families will receive a unique identity. This will create a comprehensive database of families in Uttar Pradesh.
The ID will also be useful for other purposes. For example, one member of the family can use the ID to determine the caste, and other certificates such as the birth certificate or caste certificate can also be applied for easily.
