A SURVEY ON RATION DISBURSEMENT SYSTEMS

Abstract: Traditional ration card system has evolved as a system of management of scarcity of food grains through the distribution of food grains at affordable prices. Over the years ration distribution has become an important inseparable unit of the government's policy to ensure that sufficient food grains have been supplied. However, Traditional units have undergone significant turnovers in terms of fraud, theft, and interference from middlemen. To overcome the above scenarios, we have initiated the development of our project that will contribute to digitizing the entire distribution unit such that there will be no room for fraud. The operation facility includes allocation within the state, identification of eligible families, issue of ration cards according to the database, and supervision of the functioning of fair price shops. Presently under the distribution system commodities namely wheat, sugar, oil, and kerosene are being allocated to the states for distribution.
