Abstract

The motivation behind this paper stems from the persistent issues of inefficiency, fraud, and lack of transparency in traditional ration distribution systems. This research is significant as it addresses a critical gap in the Public Distribution System (PDS) by introducing a secure, automated solution that minimizes human intervention. By integrating technologies such as RFID-based identification and OTP verification, the system ensures that only verified beneficiaries receive their rations, thereby curbing unauthorized access and reducing manual errors. The core problem tackled is the misallocation and misuse of subsidized goods due to outdated manual processes. To bridge this gap, the system leverages an Arduino Uno microcontroller, GSM communication, and precise load measurement to provide a streamlined and accountable distribution process. While the methodology involves IoT-based automation and real-time communication, it is designed to function reliably with minimal complexity. Results indicate a significant improvement in authentication accuracy and operational transparency, demonstrating the system's potential to modernize ration delivery and enhance trust in public welfare services.
