The document discusses problems with India's public distribution system (PDS) and proposes solutions. A team from Babu Banarasi Das National Institute of Technology and Management in Lucknow presented on improving the reach and efficiency of PDS. Major issues include leakage, diversion of supplies, corruption, and poor quality. Proposed solutions include computerization, community monitoring, a citizen complaint website, SMS alerts, food vouchers, and local procurement/distribution. Implementing these solutions could increase transparency, reduce diversion and leakage, and better serve those below the poverty line who rely on PDS. Significant challenges remain to fully reform the system.
