implementing a scheme on ‘End-to-End Computerization of TPDS Operations’ during XII Five Year Plan (2012-17) in collaboration with all States/UTs on cost sharing basis. The scheme comprises digitization of ration cards/beneficiary other database, online allocation, computerization of supply chain management, setting up of transparency portal and grievance redressal mechanisms. Further, to identify and weed out duplicate/ineligible beneficiaries and to enable rightful targeting of food subsidies, all States/UTs have been requested to seed Aadhaar numbers in RC data base. Since some of the States/UTs could not completed all activities under the scheme within the time lines of plan period, the validity of the scheme has been extended upto 31.3.2019 without any escalation of the project cost. The present status of implementation of the scheme i.e. digitization of ration cards/beneficiary database, Aadhaar seeding and FPS automation (State/UT-wise) etc. is given at Annexure.
(e): No such proposal is received in this Department.
