Android App and RFID Based Smart Ration Distribution System

In this paper we discuss about deploying a smart android application for ration service and ration availing through a online service. Additional to the e-service we also discuss about introducing RFID Card to replace the conventional ration card. In the proposed system the smart app is intended to be used for ration availing through online mode, thereby cutting down traditional means of ration availing. Online service offers two modes of availing ration, the beneficiary can opt to collect ration for him/herself or they can opt for others to collect the ration for them. Additional to the smart service, a unique RFID tag is assigned to one member of each family to verify their identity by RFID reader while collecting ration through FPS. Beneficiaries are given both option of availing ration either by online or offline and can make use of either as per their comfort.
