Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 4.
The government is planning to enhance welfare schemes for villagers by making sure that all eligible people in various database in different ministries get benefits.
Officials said they have begun the process by looking at the Aadhar-based list of ration card holders and the rural development ministry's data on deprived household.
"The convergence of data will help in mapping the eligible people in rural areas who are still not covered under Food Security Act that provides rice and wheat at subsidised prices. At the same time, it will bring a fair picture of rural households in the country which are deprived of basic amenities. This will also help government to reach out to people who are in need", said a food ministry official. The government has database of more than 800 million beneficiaries covered under Food Security Act. It has implemented 'one nation one ration card' scheme in 28 states and 8 union territories covering 686 million people where a person can get subsidised foodgrains from any ration shop irrespective of the State, Municipality or Panchayat where the person is registered.
