The document proposes solutions to improve the reach and efficiency of India's Public Distribution System (PDS). It identifies key issues like only 10% of intended benefits reaching the poor and 43% being illegally diverted. The proposed solutions are: (1) Training 3355 volunteers to track food grain distribution in 671 districts; and (2) A Public Distribution Portal System for monitoring. This will address the main cause of non-viability of Fair Price Shops leading to diversions. The solutions will require Rs. 15.48 crore in funding and have benefits like empowering volunteers, improving distribution, and reducing corruption in PDS. Challenges around stakeholder buy-in, volunteer willingness, and literacy are also addressed
