Digitalized Aadhar enabled ration distribution using smart card

This paper proposes automation in ration distribution using smart card based on Aadhar card technology. In this system, we are using a prototype model based on ATM machine. Using this technology, we can achieve secure and interactive approach for automization for ration distribution. Aadhar card contains all related information such as name, contact number, address, bank account details, biometric information and demographic data. Customer details are stored in the central data base which is provided by the government authority. In automated system, we replace the conventional ration card by smart card (RFID based), which contains unique Aadhar identification number of all the family members, card holder type APL or BPL which is used for user authentication to buy their ration. OTP and SMS will be sent to the card holder and after each transaction the government data base will be updated. An alarm is used to alert and notify the government authority during theft. After customer purchases the material amounts get deducted from the registered bank account.
