Ration card should be linked to Aadhar card

It costs Rs 900 to make a ration card?  Indeed ration card has become important for a poor family. PM Narendra Modi says "One Nation One Ration" is a very good thing, but the poor people know this process. Wondering why it is important to provide ration cards to all the countrymen or poor people?  Government should make efforts to generate one's ration card linked to Aadhar card so that common poor people do not suffer.

Nowadays, digital governance is being executed in the country, so cases of theft are easily detected. The government must be aware that no one can produce two  ration cards in the country, so why is there such a complications  to make a ration card? Why do we need so many documents? 

I have found that it costs 50 rupees for writing application, 2 affidavits of 640 rupees for the person out of Goa, 50 rupees for filling form, 20 rupees for xerox, more amount if followed online procedure,  50 rupees for photo. Government must issue ration cards per family on the basis of Aadhar card. I hope government considers adopting this system.
