Abstract

This paper proposes a centralized model for the Indian Public Distribution System (PDS) and states its benefits over the current system. The proposed system has its Point of Sale (POS) outlets centered around an ebox 3310 MSJK device which runs an OS customized in Windows CE. This processor communicates with three different centralized databases to access different data associated with the customer. This communication is triggered by a UID (Unique IDentification) smart card. The various aspects of the system are discussed in detail. Also the results of a pilot implementation of the system and consequent deductions for its future scope are also enumerated.
