The government-sponsored public distribution plan is a framework that consists of a network of stores. The goal of this program is to offer commodities and food grains to individuals at a reasonable cost. Public distribution schemes suffer from a number of issues, including availability, overcharging, timeliness, insufficient supply, illicit products smuggling, and corruption. Customers may easily acquire and trade basic ration goods using our suggested automated vending machine. Automated processes include data updating, billing, client identification, and the distribution of commodities. The fingerprint verification process completes the client identification process. An automatic dispensing mechanism that accurately gauges and delivers the goods in the proper quantities is built into the machine. To ensure smooth transactions, payment processing devices such card readers and mobile payment choices are linked. By immediately implementing the suggested plan in the current ration shops, the labor-intensive tasks related to commodity distribution may be minimized. All actions take place in compliance with the laws and regulations since they will all be observed by the food supply department. To make sure the equipment is operating, there are mechanisms in place for routine maintenance and monitoring.
