Blockchain based Public Distribution System

Abstract

A country's Public Distribution System PDS plays a critical role in eradicating malnutrition and maintaining food quality. However non-uniform transaction records and lack of integration among stakeholders are hindering the effectiveness in this kind of method. The project proposes a computational model to investigate the feasibility of using blockchain to remove inefficiencies and trust in the method. We try to develop a blockchain-based approach that leverages smart contracts and a public blockchain network that will add transparency to the PDS system.
