Abstract

The digitalisation of the public distribution system represents a significant stride towards food security and transparency in the distribution of essential commodities such as wheat, rice, and kerosene etc. Governments ensure that everyone has access to basic food supplies. Food security is a fundamental human right, and it implies that everyone should have sufficient food to support their physical and mental well-being. Through the implementation of digital technologies in the public distribution system, governments have ensured more efficient and effective food supply management. The research is based on primary and secondary data. The interview schedule was used in this research article for primary data collection from fair price shop dealers and ration card holders. The study area is Risia Block of Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. The main objectives of this study are to examine the role of digitalisation of ration cards to stop corruption in the Public Distribution System, to identify the problems ration card holders face at fair price shops, and to identify the technical and other challenges faced by Fair Price Shop Dealers when they distribute food and grains to ration card holders.
