corrupt middlemen and rationshop media behind this write up
by K Kumar on Mar 27, 2018 12:52 AM

This is a paid write up by the super corrupt rationshop mafia that thrived and looted the poor of India of 10s of lacs of crores in the past 40 years. After all this mafia also funded the loot of the UPA-Congress-Pawar-Chiddu etc... Disappointing write up with one sided fake stuff.

Last mile hitches in PDS
by Magadi R Raghunath on Mar 26, 2018 08:40 PM

As long as a system like smart card works and achieves the objectives of pilferage free distribution of grains, the government (state or central) should adopt it and not stand on who introduced it.

60,000 crores leaks were plugged in PDS by using Aadhar.

I want my hard earned tax money to be 100% accountable.

Why do people not support good efforts being made but only highlight the negative points.

Despite such writings against Aadhar, majority of the population know that earlier malpractices in PDS have been removed. Carry on your misleading writings.

It will be interesting to know when you used PDS last, if at all!

How do you know without experiencing?

Are you saying that there are no malpractices in PDS? AADHAR has helped in deleting GHOST cards which itself is big boon to the nation. Due to this more food is available to the poor. PDS shops & Politicians are the big losers in this game. They are the ones who create the opposition to this scheme. What is the guarantee that a person has not been able to get his needs at a PDS shop for non possession of AADHAR? There is every possibility that the same PDS shopkeeper has claimed the food next day against the person to whom he had refused. This cheating attitude has to be first curbed before pointing fingers at AADHAR.

Another politically motivated article

Basically, trying to run down the aadhar implementation so that they can open loopholes in the system and keep the corruption going.

It is obvious that smart cards will be easily collected by the PDS distributors in just a few months, and then the leakage will start again in full flow. The ABBA system ensures that every single time the transaction is done by the person who should get it since it verifies the biometrics every time. How can you ensure people don't create multiple smartcards, and use the older smartcards in offline mode? how do you ensure you cancel the old smartcards? All a PDS distributor needs to do is to get a second smartcard for the same aadhar card, and use the old smartcard in offline mode to pilfer the foodstuff. Across billions of transactions, you will never be able to catch these transactions, and even if you do, the local police will have been sufficiently compensated. The only way to cut pilferage, is to prevent it at first step using biometrics.

These kind of evaluations should be done by technology folks and not economics professors for a reason. How will economics professors understand the loopholes in technologies like smartcards.

The complaints are silly, no electricy, no internet etc. In today's world these are available practically for free through jio in all corners, and india is now a power surplus country. These are problems that should be solved, replacing Aadhar with smart card is not the solution.
