ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY

In India, ensuring a fair allocation of goods and services via the Public Distribution System (PDS) is vital. The use of technology has significantly enhanced its effectiveness and credibility. With measures like Aadhaar integration and biometric authentication introduced, identifying beneficiaries has become more seamless which prevents identity fraud while guaranteeing that those who qualify receive their entitlements as planned.

EPOS Bihar is notable for its use of electronic biometric identification, which promotes accountability and convenience while increasing transparency and eliminating manual processing costs.

The implementation of computerized PDS systems enhances supply chain transparency, resulting in reduced leakages. A study conducted on the effects of computerization in Karnataka revealed that technology innovation can effectively aid adoption rates and combat system vulnerabilities to ensure leakage reductions.

The utilization of technical tools for communication among distributors has greatly impacted the overall performance of the PDS system. When implemented effectively on a large scale, these tools have significantly improved proficiency thanks to proactivity in civic tech aimed at enhancing public welfare for all social strata regardless of their affiliations or background. As a result, deserving recipients can access their entitlements without any objections based solely on meritocratic ideals devoid of exploitation against vulnerable members who are often unaware due to lack of resources. These efforts encompass integration and promotion strategies such as Aadhar verification and biometrics identification embraced by CivicTech initiatives that seek efficiency in service delivery while upholding ethical values towards equitable distribution benefits across society's various sectors with no discrimination whatsoever evident even during complex processes encountered along this line tool usage further enhances accountability throughout every stage involved- from application submission processing dissemination accomplishments ceremonies .
