Check: Duplicate Ration Card in Haryana

Haryana Government will soon integrate Public Distribution System (PDS) with Aadhar cards. As per Haryana’s Chief Minister (CM) they are planning to integrate both the departments so that corruption in PDS scheme at any level can be avoided. Once the scheme is launched, people will be able to buy foodstuffs using ration card only after verifying their bio metrics. Without bio metrics attendance, distributor will not be allowed to sell any foodstuff to ration card bearer.

We have seen such implementation in Jharkhand recently. It was in news as bio metric machines were not working properly and they were not able to identify patterns for more than half of the ration card holders. Such situation can surely put a chaos so Haryana government will have to be double sure while buying and allocating bio metric attendance machines at fair price shops. It would be amazing if they can come up with some alternatives to prove one’s identity besides using bio metric sensors.
