## A N S W E R

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR  CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION (SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (c): Department of Food and Public Distribution is implementing a Plan Scheme on 'End-to-end Computerization of TPDS Operations' during 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). Initially the implementation of the project was slow and uneven  across  the  country  due  to  delay  in  finalization  of  action  plans  by States/UTs,  late  submission  of  their  proposal  for  financial  assistance  and practical problems faced during implementation of the project. However, due to vigorous efforts and  constant monitoring of the project through meetings, Video Conferences, visits, letters and advisories with States/UTs to review their progress/problems being faced etc., there has been significant progress in  implementation  of  the  project  and  ration  cards  have  been  completely digitized in all States/UTs, transparency portal and online grievance rederessal facility/Toll-free number have been implemented in all States/UTs, online  allocation  has  been  implemented  in  29  States/UTs  and  supply  chain has been computerized in 20 States/UTs. The validity of the scheme has been extended  by  one  year  i.e.  upto  31.03.2018  without  any  escalation  in  the project cost to complete the project. The present status of implementation of scheme 'End-to-end Computerization of TPDS Operations' is  annexed.
