Abstract— One of India's biggest and most significant economic measures is the rationing system. This policy's main objective is to offer food grains to the populace at a reduced cost in accordance with their individual economic backgrounds. All around India, ration shops that have been approved by the government are available to give people access to food security. While being supported by the government, this system has several flaws and restrictions. The proprietors of ration shops might stockpile food grains in order to sell them for more money on open markets. As a result, the eligible persons either receive less than they are entitled to or do not obtain the goods that are lawfully allotted for them. People occasionally might not even be aware that rations are available at the stores. The dealer can also enter transactions incorrectly or sell food at prices much higher than those advised by the government. These frauds cause the rationing system to become severely corrupt. Additionally, there is no trustworthy method in place for the government to obtain confirmation of the distribution of food grains. By removing human participation from the entire process, the Smart Rationing System contributes to the reduction of systemic malpractices while ensuring that everyone receives their fair share of essential necessities.
