Under this, the countrys first Grain ATM has been set up as a pilot project in Gurugram district.
Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, who also holds the portfolio of Food and Civil Supplies Department said that with the installation of Grain ATMs, all the complaints regarding the time and right measurement of ration quantity will be redressed.
He said that the purpose of installing this machine is to ensure that the right quantity should reach the right beneficiary. This would not only benefit the consumers but would also end the hassle regarding shortage of food grains at government depots and would bring more transparency in the public food distribution system than before, he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister further said that these machines would not only prove helpful in distributing food grains to the government depot operators but would also save the time of the depot operators.
Three types of grains including wheat, rice and millet can be distributed through this machine. At present, distribution of wheat has been started from the Grain ATM machine installed in Farrukhnagar in Gurugram.
