Abstract
The Public Distribution System serves as a vital infrastructure for supplying basic goods at discount prices to impoverished populations, especially in developing countries such as India. However, traditional PDS procedures have long suffered from inefficiencies, fraud, corruption, and mismanagement because of human interference and antiquated technology. Various automated systems that capitalize on technologies like embedded systems, IoT, and biometric authentication-including facial recognition-have recently been proposed and implemented to solve these problems in the last decade. The present paper performs a comprehensive literature review, focusing on the incorporation of facial recognition technology in the automated ration distribution system. Consequently, the current modernization approaches of PDS in the utilization of IoT, GSM, RFID, and biometric systems will be outlined in the survey. The benefits of the systems include increased transparency, minimal human intervention, real-time monitoring, and secure authentication methods. The distribution of rations is also discussed in the study in terms of some strategies, including the accurate dispensing of items through the use of microcontrollers, load cells, and solenoid valves. Research Findings: The finding of the evaluated study reveals that the more accurate distribution, fraud considerably reduced, with the help of automated solutions. Many reasons why these systems are hard to implement include high initial costs, technological complexity, data security problems and scalability. It also points out gaps in the researched areas and existing literatures such as the need for solutions that are commonly used and more affordable ones that may be constructed with even stronger data security and scalability. Finally, possible applications of these automated rationing systems are highlighted, and several recommendations are put forth to extend mobile-based solutions in place of those designed for remote areas where making use of a blockchain for transaction records will be safe. The latest AI machine algorithms for better performance in face recognition are also recommended. Hence, the literature review concludes that while highly impressive in automating PDS, in particular, much more work has to be done for full realization at scale, notably in resource-constrained settings.
