This paper proposes the advanced Ration Distribution System, named as "Smart Ration Distribution and Controlling" Huge amount of Govt. money get wasted due to corruption in the conventional Ration Distribution System. This paper implements a simple PDA device (personal data assistant) with RFID tag used as an e ration card in place of a conventional ration card. This PDA device is similar to the ticketing machine used by bus conductor or bank pigmy agent and the e ration card is similar to swipe card. The Subscriber has to use this card instead of a traditional ration card to get ration from the dealer. Efforts are put together from our side to combat corruption and to have better management of public distribution system. he ration distribution system is one of the largest government's economic policies in India. Its main motto is to provide food grains (sugar, wheat, rice, kerosene etc. to the people at affordable rates. The network of the ration shops is spread all over in India to provide food security to the people. This distribution of ration is controlled and monitored by central government, along with the state government. But it has so many limitations. Most of the ration shopkeepers keep fake ration cards with them. Due to fake ration cards, the dealer receives the extra ration from higher authority and he sales it into the open market. The dealer may not provide a sufficient amount of food grains to consumers. Most of the time people are not aware of the availability of ration in ration shop. The dealer may sale ration at higher rates than recommended by the government or he may do wrong entries in register. In this way, in the current situation we are facing problem of corruption in public distribution system. There is no such effective system through which government gets acknowledgement of consumption of food grains by people. ORGANIZATION OF PAPER The paper possesses three sections.
