Smart cards with QR codes soon to help track ration in Delhi
NEW DELHI: Aiming to make ration-card services and foodgrain distribution systems online, the Delhi government is set to roll out the Smart Public Distribution System or Smart-PDS in the coming days in capital.
Sources said that once implemented the beneficiaries will be able to track when their ration has been released, which Fair Price Shop it has reached and when it is likely to be distributed. The government believes the project will improve transparency and curb fake ration cards, duplicate entries, black marketing and diversion of subsidised foodgrains.
