Husband's name excluded from the ration card.

From time to time Govt. launches some schemes for public welfare.  In that course the Govt wants to transfer funds into the account of Woman only.  Because if the monies are transferred to the account of men, there may be chances of withdrawing the same and using for immoral uses i.e. drinking, playing cards, womanising etc.  So the very purpose of the Govt. shcemes will not be done. Hence, in rural areas the ration cards will be issued in the name of wife only. 

Thanks for the answer. I would like to add that I live in a twin town called Pimpri Chinchwad near Pune City in Maharashtra state. This is an Urban location. Also depositing money in the woman's account directly doesn't guarantee it's safety either. I mean in a case where the husband has a  good moral character and carries out his duties responsibly, but the woman has some vile intentions and uses the money for the same, then what would be the solution in that case? Also wouldn't this jeopardize the position of the earning male in the family?

P.S : The question is only intended at understanding the logic behind the change of the rule and it's ramifications.

It will be difficult top give an opinion without knowing the details or the reported incidence.  You may refer to rule which changed the pattern in the ration car and get convinced about the justified reason for a reportedly radical change/reform.
