Smart Ration Card Using Raspberry Pi

Ration card is important document for every Indian family. Every family is given facility by government to receive food grains against ration card. Quantities of different grain like sugar, rice, wheat are fixed for every month for families depending upon their income. The traditional public distribution system has two drawbacks: - first the shopkeeper who weighted the material can be inaccurate because of his mistake. Second is if the material is not bought at the end of the month shopkeeper will send to others without permission of the government. To overcome this drawback we have proposed in this paper "Automatic Smart Ration Card". RFID & GSM technology is used instead of ration card. The main purpose of this project is to bring transparency between government & customer, and this transparency is provided by webpage. Here ration book is replaced by RFID based smart card. When any transaction is done by customer will receive a message on his mobile through GSM technology.
