Abstract

PDS is the scheme which was started by government for the distribution of necessary good to the people who are unable to purchase the goods or who doesn’t have proper income to take the goods. There are various frauds and malicious activities carried out while distributing the goods to individual like making the non-availability of goods and also making of the fraud ration cards, to reduce the frauds like this government has applied many of the schemes to make the system digital. We are trying to build a block chain process which help in governing the PDS which consist of the network having Farmers, Central Government, State Government, Fair price shop and customers. The block chain stores the logs of all the food transfer. Food transfers includes supply of food stock from Farmer to Central Government, Central Government to State Government, food distribution to Fair Price Shop by State government and food supply to customer by fair rice shop. Implementing the block chain technology in this system will help us to make the system decentralized and also will provide the transparency among the every individual who is working in the system or connected to the system. As block chain is the most secured technology it will be the best way to make this area free from all the malicious activities. The implementation will help the customers to get rid of the activities who are not in favour of customer also they will have the rights to see what was transferred to the fair price shop by government also to the customers who have taken the good and the stock left with the shop owner. The whole process will become decentralized and there will be the transparency among every person connected in the system.
