The document proposes a Food Distribution and Management System (FDMS) using biometric techniques to improve transparency and reduce corruption in India's Public Distribution System. The FDMS would use biometric ID cards, web interfaces, and encryption to authenticate users, track food grain distribution from procurement to fair price shops, and enable users to access transaction histories and lodge complaints. It describes the enrollment and authentication processes used to verify identities and control access to data. The system is presented as a way to eliminate intermediaries, encourage direct communication between government and citizens, and maintain transparency and accountability in food grain distribution.

Corruption has become an inseparable component of our society. It deeply related in functioning of governing bodies and system. Illiteracy lack of awarnace, BPL (below Poverty Line) & APL (Above Poverty Line) has deteriorated the standard of our society and has occurred whelming contribution in the multi functioning of the system.This project (the idea) that we were proposing will not only fight to eliminate the malfunction in current system and monopoly but also encourage direct communication between governing bodies & public. The interface is fully transparent & not only eliminate the inter mediators but also encourage peopleto fully utilize the resources provided by the government. The project involved interface between government & benefiters using web technology & cryptography the technology driven method is useful to maintain transparency & account facility in food grain distribution system.- Database, Web Technology, Cryptography, Biometric ID card 1 Introduction Public Distribution System (PDS) was widely criticized for diversion and leakages in the delivery. It is estimated that 25% diversion takes place before the ration reaches to the beneficiaries. The main objective of total food grain supply chain computerization in civil Supplies Corporation to check this diversion. The diversion takes place in four main areas. 1. Diversion in the procurement itself. 2. Diversion in the movement of commodities between CSC warehouses. 3. Diversion while transporting to FPS from CSC warehouses. 4. Diversion at the FPS level.
- 2. 1.Timing Ration shops do not open every day. The objective would appear to be to limit access to people and divert grain and other produce to the open market. 2. Overcharge and undersupply This is a common practice adopted by most people that run ration shops. They charge people more than the mandated rates, and they often under-weigh the commodities. 3. Bribes People had to pay bribes for small things, such as getting a ration card in the first place, adding or deleting the name of a family member, or changing the address mentioned in it. 4. Indifference The staffs at ration shops don’t know the meaning of the term customer service in most cases. We were not sure that whether the current scenario will be affected by the introduction of biometric ID card and transparent interface but what I am sure about that it will change the current picture of FCI. 2 Objective 1) The politics of support prices The government allocated funds for the public distribution scheme. The scheme aims to provide food grains and commodities to poor people at affordable prices . 2) Procurement and pilferage The government-owned Food Corporation of India procures farm produce. 3) Identification, inclusion and exclusion
- 3. Ration cards are supposed to be issued to people living below or on the verge of the poverty line. 4) Pain at the point of sale People have difficulty in getting whatever little reaches ration shops. Shop-owners usually got licenses to run shops on the basis of political patronage or outright bribes. Thus, three step strategies had been adapted in using ICT to check diversion and leakage in the delivery mechanism of PDS. As described below. Step 1 Create transparency in operations so that every citizen can very easily know what is happening and what is supposed to happen.Transparency had been created by computerizing all operations involved in PDS and providing all information on web and some vital information through SMS. Step 2 Provide most convenient way to give feedback or lodge complaint for a citizen so that one can lodge a complaint whenever some discrepancy is found. Step 3 Build confidence in public that complaints lodged through the system will be attended to. 3 Methodology The entire system is so designed to provide easy access to data, records and information paralleling maintaining data integrity and security in all and every aspects.All the information is stored in encrypted format and access is provided to the only authorized person. The entire system is divided into two core process, namely a) Enrolment and Authentication b) authorized access to data. 3.1 Verification and Authentication process Looking at biometric systems in a more general way will reveal certain things all biometric-based authentication systems have in common. In general such systems work in two modes: a. Enrolment mode: In this mode biometric user data is acquired. This is mostly done with some type of biometric reader. b. Authentication mode: Again biometric user data is acquired first and used by the systemto either verify the users claimed identity or to identify who the user is.
- 4. Work plan Process Execution Flow Data Acquisition Fingerprint data is acquired when subjects firmly press their fingers against a glass or polycarbonate plate. Enrolment Procedure and Time As instructed, subject enters a 1- to 9-digit PIN on the keypad. As cued, the finger is placed on the reader plate and then removed. Template or File Size: Fingerprint user files are generally between 500 and 1,500 bytes. Accuracy Some fingerprint systems can be adjusted to achieve a false accept rate of 0.0%. Sandia National Laboratories tests of a top-rated fingerprint system in 1991 and 1993 produced a three-try false reject rate of 9.4% and a crossover error rate of 5%. 3.2 Authorized access to data. This part deals with manipulation of information and data. It basically consist a list a) Personal details b) History c) Deposited d) Withdrawal e) Transaction detail: f) Next lot Information g) Help and guidance h) Right to information i) Contact Information Sample Screen snort for Biometric ID Card 4 Work Plan The first time an individual used a biometric system is called an enrolment. During the enrolment, biometric information from an individual is stored. The first block (sensor) is the interface between the real world and the system. The second block performs all the necessary pre-processing. In the third block necessary features are extracted. This step is an important step as the correct features need to be extracted in the optimal way. A template is a synthesis of the relevant characteristics extracted from the source
- 5. Simple biometric systems usually consist of the following four components:- 1. Sensor modules: This module acquires biometric user data.2) Feature extraction modules: This module is responsible for extracting feature values of a biometric trait.3) Matching modules: The matching module compares the acquired biometric features against those stored in a database.4) Decision-making modules: The users’ identity is either established or a claimed identity is accepted or rejected. In general one can consider the verification of the identity of a person a two-class problem: Either the person is who he/she claims to be (client). Or the person fails to be the one he/she claims to be (impostor). In binary decision scheme it obvious decision-making can make two kinds of errors. False Rejection (FR): when an actual client gets identified as an impostor. False Acceptance (FA): when an actual impostor gets identified as a client. 5 Conclusion Food distribution and management system tested in Civil Supplies Corporation”(CSC) .Distribute & manage the food in public Distribution System and information” as described where it used for both procurement and tracking. This shows that Food distribution and management system is ready for real world use in biometric techniques and is to be preferred in communication between government & public &security purpose. Food distribution and management system that can be attacked and factors that you need to be careful of in implementation. Although there is no any complexity that FDMS is more useful. It is also provides food grain, tracking & account transparency.In future this technology can be used in government sectors. References 1.
