MINISTER OF STATE FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
(SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)
(a) to (c): Department of Food and Public Distribution is implementing a Plan Scheme on ‘End-to-end Computerization of TPDS Operations’ during 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). Initially the implementation of the project was slow and uneven across the country due to delay in finalization of action plans by States/UTs, late submission of their proposal for financial assistance and practical problems faced during implementation of the project. However, due to vigorous efforts and constant monitoring of the project through meetings, Video Conferences, visits, letters and advisories with States/UTs to review their progress/problems being faced etc., there has been significant progress in implementation of the project and ration cards have been completely digitized in all States/UTs, transparency portal and online grievance rederessal facility/Toll-free number have been implemented in all States/UTs, online allocation has been implemented in 29 States/UTs and supply chain has been computerized in 20 States/UTs. The validity of the scheme has been extended by one year i.e. upto 31.03.2018 without any escalation in the project cost to complete the project. The present status of implementation of scheme ‘End-to-end Computerization of TPDS Operations’ is annexed.
