Abstract
. The Public Distribution System (PDS) in India is responsible for providing rations to impoverished families. However, the current system has several significant shortcomings, including inadequate food grain storage, manual and inconsistent record-keeping practices, instances of black-market activities, and poor maintenance. To address these issues, we propose implementing a smart ration card system that utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). RFID is a reliable and efficient method of object identification, categorized under Automatic Identification and Data Capture technologies. Under this proposed system, the traditional ration card will be replaced by a unique RFID tag. At the fair price shop, the RFID tag will undergo verification to authenticate the user's identity. A microcontroller will handle the verification process, checking if the user is legitimate. If the user is verified, the system will display the monthly ration quota available to them. Upon a successful transaction, the database will be updated accordingly. This system minimizes the need for human intervention and ensures enhanced security. By implementing this advanced system, the government can easily monitor all distributed ration supplies. It eliminates the need for manual record-keeping, reduces the possibility of fraudulent activities, and offers efficient operation and enhanced security measures.
