Identity management and e-governance solutions company 4G Identity Solutions Pvt Ltd has won a Rs 10-crore contract from the Bihar Government for automation and monitoring of the public distribution system (PDS).
The State Government is planning to utilise the IT backbone to roll out the Food Security Bill this year. “The delivery system would improve significantly as the project envisages computerisation of records, inventory management and food grain flow from public warehouses. The system will also monitor distribution at the level of fair-price shops,” 4G Identity Chief Executive Officer Sreeni Tripuraneni said here in a statement.
To be implemented in six months, the project covers six crore people. “The main components of the project include GPS-based fleet tracking for grain transportation, an Integrated Weight Management System and SMS-based information dissemination and a public grievance redressal system,” he said.
