Abstract -A monthly allocation of goods from the ration
To purchase goods from the ration shops, every family needs a ration card. A family is given a ration card, an official document, by the Indian government. This card serves as a means of identification and proof of address for a person who is authorized to obtain a monthly ration of food grain from the ration shop. Each family member's name and identity are listed on this card. The proportionate distribution of rations is decided by the government. The commodities are collected once in every month at a ration shop distributed by the ration shop keeper. The ration keeper checks the person's ration card , validates it, then weighs the monthly share of his commodities and delivers the commodity to the ration card holder. This process has a lot of drawbacks: the weight that is measured can be inaccurate due to human errors. The ration card holder has to wait in long queues until the person ahead of him is checked for his ration card and commodities are delivered to him. If the beneficiary misses his ration for that month the ration keeper can sell the commodities at higher prices in the open market [4]. The ration keeper can also produce fake ration cards and acquire the commodities and sell at higher prices and tell the people that the ration is empty. So the people who deserve the ration may not get it without even the slightest knowledge of what's happening inside the ration shop.
shop is all that nearly 1.21 billion (29.8%) Indians depend on to get by in poverty. But the present ration distribution system has a lot of irregularities and many fraudulent activities are taking place in this sector. The commodities that the government provides to the ration shops are not reaching the people who deserve it and are falling into the wrong hands. To solve all these problems, automatic ration vending machines came into the picture. While building these vending machines researchers have carefully combined all the recent technologies and made sure that the system is convenient, systematic and corruption free. The most common technologies used here are RFID , biometrics and GSM technologies. Key Words: RFID, biometrics, ration vending machines, and GSM
1.INTRODUCTION The public distribution system is another name for the rationing system. The public distribution and food ministry of the Indian government oversees and administers the public distribution system, or PDS. Food Corporation of India (FCI), founded in 1951, purchases goods from farmers, warehouses them, and delivers a predetermined allotment each month to the PPS network. Civil Supplies Corporation, a significant public sector organization, oversees and provides all citizens with needed goods. The PDS System was first set up by the British Government in 1933 as a wartime rationing measure. In 1944 the government of India started distributing subsidized food and non-subsidized food to the Indian poor during the second world war and later in 1947 it was launched in the current form. Subsequently, in 1997 the Indian government introduced targeted PDS, which aimed at improving the living standards of the poor by providing them subsidized food through a network of ration shops.

In further sections we will see different authentication methods, input/output methods and other features which can be used to avoid all these ill-practices and to make this system efficient and transparent.
1.1Background of Invention The Public Distribution System (PDS) was started long ago during the inter-war period in the 1960’s.Since then the system has been working through shops where people come to the shop, give their credentials and take the ration home at lowest prices. This scheme was initially started to nourish the economically backward classes in India. But as the system grew and expanded to reach out to as many people as possible throughout India, people started
