Abstract
"The Smart Ration System with Fingerprint Authentication is designed to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the Public Distribution System by integrating modern biometric technology. The traditional ration distribution process faces significant challenges such as fraud, corruption, and inefficiencies in delivering subsidized goods to eligible beneficiaries. This project introduces a system that utilizes fingerprint scanners for biometric authentication, ensuring that only legitimate users can access their ration entitlements. Each beneficiary's fingerprint is linked to their digital identity, such as an Aadhaar number, and stored in a centralized database. When a user visits the ration shop, they can authenticate themselves using a fingerprint scanner, which cross-checks their identity with the database in real time. Once authenticated, the system automatically calculates and allocates the appropriate ration based on the user's entitlement. The transaction is recorded instantly, allowing authorities to monitor the process, track inventory, and ensure the proper flow of goods. The system minimizes human intervention, reducing the chances of fraud or misallocation. By ensuring only genuine beneficiaries access the system, the Smart Ration System with Fingerprint Authentication aims to provide a transparent, secure, and efficient method for delivering essential commodities to those in need, strengthening the overall effectiveness of the PDS."
