Chennai: Till now, ration shops were seen as places for hoarding and illegally selling products meant for the Public Distribution System (PDS). This may end with Tamilnadu government plans to develop integrated software to track the supply, storage and distribution of PDS articles.
The government officials said that the work on software will begin after March as the officials are now busy weeding out bogus ration cards. K Rajaraman, TNSCP (Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection) Commissioner said, "We will have integrated software to track the supply, storage and distribution of civil supplies commodities. A private firm has been given the task of preparing the details to be fed into the software."
With the help of software officials can monitor the quantity of rice and other products being supplied, the quantity is being stored and the quantity actually being distributed. "If the stocks and sale details do not tally we can easily find out the ration shop involved in illegal sale," added Rajaraman.
