The document proposes solutions to increase transparency in India's Public Distribution System (PDS). It outlines problems like corruption and diversion of goods from PDS outlets. The team's proposed solutions include implementing an ERP system to integrate PDS departments, using mobile updates to track goods delivery, and introducing smart cards with Aadhaar details for citizens to purchase rations. This would allow transparent monitoring of distribution and prevent illegal sale of goods. The team aims to build on these ideas to improve the system and create a more open and reliable PDS for people across India.

2. PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
• Public
Distribu,on
System
(PDS)
is
an
Indian
food
security
system.
Established
by
the
Government
of
India
under
Ministry
of
consumer
awareness,
food
and
distribu=on
and
managed
jointly
with
State
Governments
in
India,
it
distributes
subsidized
food
and
non-­‐food
items
to
India’s
poor.
• Major
commodi=es
distributed
include
staple
food
grains,
such
as
Wheat,
Rice,
Sugar,
and
Kerosene,
through
a
network
of
Public
Distribu=on
Shops,
also
known
as
Ra=on
shops
established
in
several
states
across
the
country.
Food
Corpora=on
of
India,
a
Government
owned
Coopera=on,
procures
and
maintains
the
Public
Distribu=on
System.

3. Cntd..,
• A
public
distribu,on
shop
also
known
as
Fair
Price
Shop
(FPS),
part
of
India's
Public
Distribu=on
System
established
by
Government
of
India,
is
a
kind
of
shop
in
India
which
is
used
to
distribute
ra=ons
at
a
subsidized
price
to
the
poor
• Locally
these
are
known
as
“ra=on
shop"
and
chiefly
sell
wheat,
rice,
kerosene
and
sugar
at
a
price
lower
than
the
market
price.
However,
other
essen=al
commodi=es
may
also
be
sold.
These
are
also
called
Fair
Price
Shops.
For
buying
items
from
this
shop
one
must
have
a
ra=on
card..
No
doubt
the
item
from
these
shops
are
much
cheaper
but
are
of
poor
quality.
Ra=on
shops
are
now
present
in
most
locali=es,
villages
towns
and
ci=es.
India
has
478,000
shops
cons=tu=ng
the
largest
distribu=on
network
in
the
world.

4. Distribution Of Items
Through Out India
• The
following
table
predicts
how
the
cost
of
Wheat,
Sugar
and
Rice
gets
varied
from
state
to

this
is
what
the
government
need
to
handle
with
they
have
a
single
standard
through
out
the
whole
country.

7. Problems Faced
By People In PDS
• The
Public
Distribu=on
System
(PDS)
ends
up
being
sold
in
the
open
market
by
corrupt
intermediaries,
including
some
dealers
who
manage
PDS
outlets.
•
The
extent
of
this
“diversion”
of
PDS
grain
has
been
a
ma]er
of
specula=on
for
some
=me.
Two
recent
surveys
shed
further
light
on
the
ma]er.
• The
people
have
lost
their
belief
and
reliability
on
the
Ra=on
shops
because
the
poli=cal
par=es
and
other
influenced
people
misuse
their
power
and
indulge
in
many
malprac=ces
that
leads
to
improper
distribu=on
of
Food
items
to
all
the
under
privileged
people.

8. Cntd..,
• Increase
in
cost
of
price
of
the
food
grains
and
also
the
kerosene
price
have
led
the
poor
people
suffering
so
the
government
should
take
some
immediate
steps
to
reduce
the
price
as
well
as
avoiding
the
mall
func=onali=es
of
the
PDS.

9. ERP SOLUTION
• ERP
Solu=on
is
mainly
to
integrate
all
the
departments
of
Public
Distribu=on
system
together
for
only
one
goal
ie.,
smooth
and
efficient
Service
to
the
Indian
people.

10. PROPOSED SOLUTION:
MOBILE UPDATIONS
• The
Goods
will
be
tracked
from
the
=me
it
starts
from
the
warehouse
and
=ll
it
reach
the
ra=on
shop
everything
will
be
updated
to
the
customer
through
messages
.
So
that
the
people
can
easilly
track
the
quan=ty
of
goods.

11. SMART CARD
METHODLOGY
• Yes
the
people
should
use
Aadar
Card
here
to
buy
everything
in
ra=on
shop
because
of
easy
tracking
and
monitoring
of
foods
so
that
misusage
of
the
items
distribu=ng
illegally
can
be
avoided
if
we
use
this
methodology.
• Even
online
payment
is
possible
using
it
can
be
done
since
Aadar
consists
of
Bank
account
details
of
the
card
holders
too.

12. Conclusion
• This
is
Not
the
End,
This
is
Just
the
Beginning.
• We
build
a
Perfect
ERP
solu=on
Based
on
Smart
card
and
a
clear
solu=on
to
the
Problems
that
people
face
currently
in
the
Public
Distribu=on
System
(
PDS).
Hence
by
implemen=ng
our
methodology
we
clearly
propose
a
possible
idea
to
improve
our
Country
in
a
possible
and
a
Transparent
way.
Where
even
People
of
our
country
has
there
own
roles
