Targeted Public Distribution System
TARGETED PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) is operated under the joint responsibility of the Central Government and the States/UTs. Computerization of PDS is a must for strengthening and revamping the Public Distribution System and for addressing the challenges faced by PDS i.e. inclusion/exclusion errors, leakages/diversion of foodgrains, lack of transparency, weak grievance redressal and social audit mechanism and lack of viability of Fair Price Shops.
MoCAFPD purposed a scheme on end to end computerization of TPDS, purposed by Planning Commission under the 11th year plan with an outlay of Rs 3497.21 Cr (out of which GoI has a share of Rs 1992..54 Cr). In case of north-eastern states, cost sharing between centre and state would be on 90:10 basis whereas for other states its 50:50 basis.

For achieving end-to-end Computerization of TPDS, the Department of Food & Public Distribution, Government of India has identified 4 key components which are required to be implemented in all the States/UTs as below:

1) Creation & Management of digitized Beneficiary Database
2) Supply-Chain Management of TPDS commodities from Food Corporation of
India (FCI) till Fair Price Shops (FPS)
3) Sale of TPDS commodities at Fair Price Shops including identification and authentication of beneficiaries and recording of transactions.
4) Transparency and Grievance Redressal Mechanism

End to end computerization of PDS in States/UTs would be implemented in two parts as follows:

* Component 1 :
Supply-Chain Management (Component I) may be undertaken as per Chhattisgarh model. * Component 2 :
Component 2 may be implemented on the lines of the Gujarat model of computerization which will take some time.

Various schemes started by different State Governments.: * The Chattisgarh Model :
Bulk of the pilferage used to happen before the grains reached the PDS shops. To plug the leakages, the first step was to take away the

    The Darby Company manufactures and distributes meter used to measure electric power consumption. The company started with a small production plant in El Paso and gradually built a customer base throughout Texas. A distribution center was established in Ft. Worth, Texas later, as business expanded to the north; a second distribution center was established in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The El Paso plant was expanded when the company began marketing its meters in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. With the growth of the West Coast business, the Darby Company opened a third distribution center in Las Vegas and just two years ago opened a second production plant in San Bernardino, California. Manufacturing costs differ between the company's production plants. The cost of each meter produced at the El Paso plant is $10.50. The San Bernardino plant utilizes newer and more efficient; as a result, manufacturing costs are $.50 per meter less than at the El Paso plant. The company's rapid growth meant that not much attention was paid to the efficiency of the distribution system. Darby's management decided it is now time to address this issue. The cost of shipping a meter from each of the two plants to each of the three distribution centers is shown in Table 1 below. The quarterly production capacity is 30,000 meters at the older El Paso plant and 20,000 meters at the San Bernardino plant. Note that no shipments are allowed from the San Bernardino plant to the Ft. Worth distribution center. The company serves nine customer zones from the three distribution centers. The forecast of the number of meters needed in each customer zone for the next quarter is shown in Table 2.The cost per unit of shipping from each distribution center to each customer zone is given in Table 3. Note that some of the distribution centers cannot serve certain customer zones. In the current distribution system, demand at the Dallas, San Antonio,…

    As a result of reforms in the power sector many new Distribution Companies have started their operations. Apart from improving financial viability, reduction of T&D losses the distribution reforms have been identified as a key area in terms for fulfilling consumers‘ expectations in terms of service delivery in the area of Reliability and Quality of power supply. Reliability and Quality of power supply were rarely an issue till recent past and little or no attention was paid to these aspects of power supply. If consumers‘ expectations are not fulfilled in respect of Reliability and Quality of power supply there is resentment and they are reluctant to pay for the service. On the other hand if the expectations are met or surpassed the consumers are satisfied and willingness to pay increases by sharing the tariff hike. This in turn helps to tone up the financial viability of the DISCOMs (Distribution Companies). Reliability has to do with continuous and uninterrupted power supply i.e. total loss of voltage. Reliability does not cover voltage sags, swells, impulses or harmonics. Reliability indices typically consider such aspects as –     Number of consumers Connected load Duration of the interruptions measured Quantum of power interrupted and…
