There are presently many fraud activities and corruptions taking place in the food supply schemes present as it sometimes does not reach the poor or the other sections of the society. This project focuses on developing blockchain prototype that is used to record all the transactions/records and log all these transactions. A simple end-to-end web based app of this kind of the blockchain prototype can be built that has most of the features and functionalities to carry out all kinds of the transactions between the central government, state government, the district office, ration shop/and the customers, are recorded in the system. The user of the system can view the transactions of any part of the public distribution system. The project have some features that is guaranteed to provide the most important aspect that is, the security using the concept of blockchain. Key Words: Public ration distribution, Block chain, SHA 256 AES, java, etc. 1.INTRODUCTION An increasing demand in society for greater information about food reflects the need for more transparency and the lack of trust. One of the most frequently used words in India, corruption signifies a range of things. In 2005, Transparency International, and Delhi-based Centre for Media Studies, a research firm, undertook the India Corruption Study. The survey covered 4,405 respondents over 20 states. The results, published in the same year, said that Indians pay about 21,069 crore as bribes while availing one of 11 public services. The study remains the most recent and most comprehensive report on corruption in India. Here we cover corruption in Indias public distribution system (PDS), the chain of ration shops that provide supplies to just under 10% of the country's population (the government claims 16%) as well as Corruption in Education. Corruption in PDS Bulk users are from the rural hinterland (7.6 crore). Pointers to how rampant is corruption in a sphere where the government has promised subsidized food for all through the PDS are: 1.5 crore households have admittedly paid bribe during the past year; States with a higher poverty index have registered higher corruption (up to 67%); 60% households using PDS confirmed unavailability of rations; In high poverty incidence states, out-of-stock” scenarios were as high as 80%; 34% of those visiting ration offices had to make four or more visits before their voice could be heard and suitable action taken; and Nearly 50% paid bribe for obtaining a new, perfectly legitimate ration card While the Fair Price Owner is accused of cheating and being corrupt, he has his constraints which include: Low margins leading to low profitability, especially post launch of targeted public distribution system (TPDS); credit provided is so low that they cannot lift stock from government godowns; they have no control over quality of grains; they too may have to pay bribe to ration officials to get their quota of supplies from the Food Corporation of India (FCI); supplies from FCI are erratic and late in coming. 1.1 Motivation The last three years have seen an explosion of interest in Blockchain Technology (BCT) with a great many companies and research institutions focusing on potential applications of this technology across a range of financial, industrial and social sectors. However, the technology has also been surrounded by a great deal of exaggeration and hype resulting in misplaced expectations and misunderstandings. BCT is still in an early stage of development, with considerable potential for real-life commercial applications. Innovation in blockchain architectures, applications and business concepts is happening at a fast pace; it is often characterised by decentralised, open source development, and it is perceived as being disruptive to traditional players in many industries. 1.2 Project Scope and Limitations Project will be developed as a prototype model using JSP and servlet technology. It will run as a local host. System will be communicate through wireless local area network. System
