E RATIONING

Computer Engineering

There are many problems with the Public Distribution System(PDS), ration systemin India, such as millions of ineligible and fraudulent ration cards, millions of poor families have no ration card, PDS shop owners in collusion with government officials divert the subsidized food supply to the black market, card numbers are inflated and many others.Thus we intended to put a halt on these problems by bringing in ERation system, that involves every family to hold a Smart Ration Card and will be made secure using biometric system. Whenever the user will go to the shop for receiving the ration he will be validated through his Smart card and his thumb impression. If the user is valid then all the data related to user (name, address, image, previous ration details etc.) will be shown If the thumb is not matching then proper error will be displayed. The bank account of the user will be linked to a RFID card, whenever user buys ration the amount will be deducted from his bank account. After the transaction is complete the ration related detail (how much ration is left for this month, amount of purchase, date) has to be sent to the user in his mobile as SMS. The user family member detail can be added or deleted at ration card registration office. Through this project we hope to give a short contribution to Digital India by providing good way for Anna Suraksha Yojana and a more transparent and reliable system than the existing ration card system.
