Manthan Topic: Plugging The Leaks of PDS
“For every Rs 4 spent on the PDS, only Re 1 reaches the poor”
“57% of food grains does not reach the intended people”
Team Name:- YouthFighters-2013
Manav Rachna International University, Faridabad
Production of Food Grains & Pulses has increased over 20% in 2002-2012 but
still we are unable to provide necessary amount of grains and pulses to the
beneficiary families due to weak Distribution System.

Major Characteristic of PDS
Providing food grains and other essential items to
vulnerable section of the society at
reasonable(subsidized) prices.
Major problems in PDS
1. Fake ration cards which do not
resemble real beneficiary families.
2. Shadow ownership of ration cards
due to inefficient issuing and distribution
of ration cards.
3. Determining and maintaining the cost
of essential items available at a Fair Price
Shop(FPS).
Maintaining the different levels of Public Distribution System
including storage, transportation and allotments of an FPS by
innovative ways will be very helpful in maintaining the low cost of
commodities for the beneficiary families.
Proposed organizational structure of a Public Distribution System(PDS)
• Choice of location of main storage facility should be near farms,
• High-Tech facilities for stock maintenance and prevent unauthorized access
to the food stocks,
• Central storage at large scale and state-wise storage of commodities.
Storage of
Commodities
• Consumer feedback & priority based allotment system of FPS for
transparency in system,
• Each FPS should be allotted per 2000 beneficiary families in that locality,
• State-wise online channel of billing and maintenance of stocks for accurate
and fast system operation,
Allotment &
Maintenance of
FPS
• Implementation of biometric identity based distribution of goods(aadhar
card or digital AAY or BPL cards),
• All FPS should be operated through an online channel moderated by the
local channels of National Informatics Centre(NIC).
Distribution of
Goods
Storage of Commodities and stock maintenance
Storage of commodities is the first and a vital part of the Public Distribution system because
a good stock maintenance ensures low cost and good quality of goods.
Here are some key standards that should be brought to implementation level :-
1. The storage should be near to the farms to avoid loss during long distance transport .
2. The organization ensures that food should only be available to only screened officials.
3. Containers should be closed, clean and safe to avoid any kind of contamination.
4. Complete digital maintainence of stocks for accurate data and time saving activities of storage house.
5. It will be the responsibility of storage facility officer’s that transport takes safely and reaches to
destination on time.
Farms
Main Storage Facility Local Storage Facility
Near to Farms Near to FPS
Allotment & Maintenance of Fair Price Shops
Rules for allotment of FPS :-
1. All the vacancies of FPS and owners of FPS should be notified on website and newspaper,
2. Every FPS should be allotted by authority in a locality of 2000 AAY or BPL card holders,
3. The owner of FPS should be resident of the same locality where the FPS vacancy is notified,
4. Preference should be given to the cooperative societies, war widows and women self groups.
Maintenance of FPS :-
1. All facility should be computerized, if not then billing and stock maintenance should be computerized,
2. The viability of FPS should be maintained which includes commission rates and maintenance cost of FPS like
electricity bills and shop rent,
3. Other items should also be allowed to be sold at FPS on MRP so that to maintain economic viability of FPS
4. Fortified ATTA(Wheat Floor) should also be sold by government which will improve the general health and
reduces instances of Vitamin A deficiency and iron deficiency.
Key elements of the implementation plan
Storage Facility Distribution of GoodsMaintaining FPS
1. The storage facility shall be governed by a government body,
2. Building main storage facility near farms for easy transport and protection of commodities,
3. Implementing high-tech facilities like cold storage, humidity maintenance and stock maintenance by
technical staffs,
4. All storage facilities will have a team of agricultural knowledge who will check the quality of the
storage facility and other food products,
5. All transport facilities of food products will be the responsibilities of storage facility governing
body,
6. The governing body may give the transport system to a private company by public tender through a
transparent allotment system.
Maintaining storage facility
Storage Facility Distribution of GoodsMaintaining FPS
Key elements of the implementation plan
1. Allotment of FPS will be based on consumer feedback system and on the recommendation based on
the RWA’s and Panchayat of that locality,
2. Each FPS will be allotted to a locality having 2000 beneficiary families,
3. Maintenance of bills and stocks of FPS by an online channel to maintain accurate data of
distribution,
Allotment & maintenance of FPS
Storage Facility Distribution of GoodsMaintaining FPS
Key elements of the implementation plan
Regulating Distribution of goods
1. All FPS will be equipped with biometric and digital card reader so that fake and bogus card are eliminated
from the system,
2. During allotments preferences shall be given to the war widows & members of weaker sections,
3. All FPS will distribute goods through Automated system using online technology with the help of zone
centers of NIC,
4. All AAY, BPL and other food distribution cards will be created by time-bound door-to-door verification and
online mechanism, this will eliminate the bogus cards,
5. Introduction of ATTA(Wheat floor) in the distribution system
Impact & Reach of Proposed solution
• The proposed structure will serve around 8 million beneficiary families,
• The proposed PDS system will generate job opportunities for about 2 million citizens,
• Adapting to this kind of system will also enhance the use of technology in government systems,
• The system consists of various advantages over existing system that makes it more reliable and efficient,
• Better connectivity between farmers and government bodies by good storage facility,
• More accurate system by using innovative ideas in the system,
• Less time consuming environment of system for ease of consumers,
• Due to the innovative techniques used in this system makes this system more trustworthy.
Challenges
1. Availability and accessibility of land for storage facility near the farms and near FPS will be
the challenging & important task for PDS,
2. Implementation of high-tech facilities will initially face budget problem, due to which
processing may take more time,
3. A transparent and trustworthy system which is a mandatory part and is a major problem for
this system to sustain,
4. Maintenance of various FPS shops with local NIC authority will be a tough job to perform,
5. Identifying the true beneficiary families and removing existing bogus card holders is major
problem for proper distribution of goods is a major problem.
