Smart Card Based Public Distribution System

Ration card has a very important role in every home and is used for various field such as family members details, to get gas connection, it act as address proof for various purposes etc. All the people having a ration card to buy the various materials (sugar, rice, kerosene, etc) from the ration shops. But in this system having two draw backs, first one is the inaccuracy in the weight of the materials due to human mistakes and secondly, if not buy the materials at the end of the month, they will sale to others without any intimation to the government and customers. In this paper, proposed a Smart Card Based Public Distribution System using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology instead of ration cards. To get the materials in ration shops we need to show the RFID tag into the RFID reader, then controller check the customer details in the card. After verification, these systems show the amount details. Then customer needs to enter the required materials by using keypad. After receiving materials the controller send the SMS to customer. This system provides the materials automatically without the help of humans.
