The government distributes essential commodities like rice, wheat and sugar to the public at subsidised rates, in accordance to the income and financial standing of each citizen. This ration system is executed at various Fair Price Shops around the country. This benefits a number of people below poverty line and requires an organized methodology to help instant verification and fair distribution of all the goods.
At present, there is a project for converting paper-based ration cards into biometric smart cards to maintain a database of all the beneficiaries. So the right person gets the right amount of commodities under a secured foolproof mechanism. With information and communication technology intervention, the process can be connected through one system for the entire country and everyday operation details can be recorded systematically.

The state government spends a huge part of its revenue for providing healthcare services to the public, mostly below the poverty line.
