How Smart is this card?
Epic On A Grain
For a sloppy PDS, the smart card is the perfect remedy - hopefully
- It'll be like a debit card with a facility to update balances as well as recharges
- The microchip will store all information and help government track utilisation
- Card-holder can buy from an approved private grocer, challenge PDS monopoly
- Biometric features would act as safeguard against misuse
- It will eliminate intermediaries, lower pilferage-thus help reduce food subsidy
