PROBLEMS … SCOPE ..
• The problem of identifying beneficiaries leads to high exclusion
and inclusion errors. High exclusion errors lead to low coverage of
BPL households. High inclusion errors lead to APL families receiving
excessive food grain which increases the burden on the governments.
There is also the added burden of ghost cards. According to the
Planning Commission, there are 10 crore ration cards for 6.5 crore
BPL families.
• Another challenge relating to the Public Distribution of India is that
of leakages either during transportation or due to the existence of ghost cards. 48.3% of the food which was
to be distributed by PDS was leaked via the ration shops. Leakage at various levels of the distribution chain
leads to increased subsidy cost. The unintended subsidy cost is way higher than the intended cost. In Bihar,
the total central subsidy for off take by the BPL households is Rs. 50.98 per kg while the intended subsidy
cost was Rs. 4.52 per kg
Problems
• Scope
SOLUTION … PHASE 1…PHASE2
SOLUTION
• For determining the true BPL families a UID integrated Bank Account is proposed , this data could be
used to keep eye on the beneficiary group.
• At ration shops , ration should be provided by confirming the customer through their UID data , using
simple OMR devices. This would ensure that food reaches to the needy and would rectify the leaks in
PDS system.
DETERMINING TRUE NEEDIES
• Making compulsory for every bank account to be integrated with “UID/Adhar” card .
• Data mining the account details of family , using data-mining algorithms proper statistical result is
generated to increase the easiness .
PHASE2.. AT RATION SHOPS
• Ration shops are connected to a dedicated server that contains all the database regarding UID’s and
associated subsidies allotted to them.
• This server would process the data and define whether or not the requesting is eligible for the subsidized
food .
• This would also keep data of the food in the ration shops and hence would eliminate the exploitation of it.
Solution
• Phase1
• Phase2
SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE IMPLEMENTATION
This figure shows the Service Oriented Architecture to implement our Idea.
The server is linked with both the data base i.e. Families data base and UID
data base .
Ration shop / FPS on account of any request send the UID to the server that
processes it and associate it with the BPL/APL data base. On the bases of the
processed data it determine the eligibility of the customer .
Ensuring the security of the data base Intent Messenger is used that serves
as the interface for the interaction between the server and the data bases.
Various processes are performed at server :
1. Card verification
2. UID determination
3. Data association
4. Update management
5. Resource checking
• This project is not so costly as it would involve:
1. Group of technicians that can handle the server and work through periodic
check.
2. Trainers to train the existing staffs at Ration/FPS Shops .
3. NGOs to help the local people grab the benefits of this technology.
• Government could also include private agencies to handle and implement
different servers.
• Reasonable cost of OMR devices and simple implementation makes this project
affordable.
• NGOs and Government collaborative effort is enough for the project and funding
can be provided by either of them.
• This project is fully designed to fit in the current PDS system with the specified
amendments , with the allotment of UID cards by the government , now this
could be implemented in reality. Current system offers various resources needed
for our project , by integrating all the PDS system in a network we can achieve a
connected and leakage free system.
Leveraging existing government infrastructure
• Stakeholder(s) involved at each step
• Financial and human resources required at each step
• Proposed source(s) of funding
Criteria to measure the impact of the solution
• Routine check and determining the loop holes in the implementation of the system.
• Conducting surveys to find out the difficulties and inconvenience that people faces .
Scalability of the solution
• This Idea is easily scalable as new nodes can be added to a single server .
• Extensible and flexible .
Sustainability of the solution
• Idea is highly sustainable with easily implemented in current PDS system
• Logs of data could be maintained and a loosely coupled linking is provided.
• No impact on ecosystem .
• Friendly approach.
• Making available adequate quantity of essential commodities of acceptable quality at all times,
• Ensuring equitable distribution of the available essential commodities to all sections of the population at
easily accessible places,
• Ensuring that the prices are affordable to all sections of the society. Monitoring prices, market intervention,
procurement, buffer stocking.
• In very many cases the location of FPS is at the headquarter of PACB, which is normally away from the
villages
• Allotment of goods is not made according to the entitlements but it is made according to the distribution of
goods and opening stock at FPS level.
• Lack of organic relationship between lead societies and link societies leads to improper stocking of goods.
