what are the measures you suggest for improving the present public distribution system
Answers
The following measures should be taken to improve the present Public Distribution System(PDS):
1) implementation of measures such as door-step delivery of food grains.
2) improving viability of fair price shop operations.
3)greater monitoring and vigilance.
4) improve food grains off take.
5)correct identification of beneficiaries.
6) Smart system communication like information provided to consumers by SMS about rations.
The public distribution system in the country can be improved by the following two ways.
(1) Digitisation and computerisation of records are very much needed to ensure that every household is connected to the grid and get its benefits.
(2) Aadhar enrolment of beneficiaries can be very useful after digitization is complete so that there will be no mismatch of beneficiaries and it can reach the correct stakeholder. Also, loopholes and gaps can also be plugged in these ways.
