Computerisation in PDS
With a view to modernize the Targeted Pubic Distribution System (TPDS), the Government has initiated a Plan scheme on End-to-End Computerization of TPDS operations on cost sharing basis with States/UTs which would facilitate digitalization of ration cards/beneficiaries database, computerization of supply chain management, setting up of transparency portal and grievance redressal mechanism. The scheme will enable removal of bogus ration cards and better targeting of food subsidy, facilitate availability of foodgrains to intended beneficiaries at Fair Price Shops (FPS), check leakages and diversions etc. This information was given by the Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Shri Ram Vilas Paswan in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
The Minister said that Constant monitoring through Meetings, Video Conferences, visits, letters, advisories etc is done regularly with States/UTs to review their progress, problems faced etc.
