State Govt Launched Public Distribution System (PDS) Pilot Project In 4 District
The state government has launched a pilot project in four districts to remove the shortcomings afflicting the Public Distribution System (PDS) and reach the benefits to the beneficiaries smoothly.
The project, if found to be successful after its review, would be implemented in other districts. The four districts are Nalanda, Jamui, Vaishali and Muzaffarpur. A decision in this regard was taken at a review meeting which chief minister Nitish Kumar chaired. Food and consumer protection minister Narendra Singh, chief secretary R J M Pillai, deportment's secretary Tripurari Sharan and SFC managing director Kundan Kumar also attended the meet. Nitish reviewed procurement of food grains, distribution of coupons and lifting and distribution of food grains and kerosene, among other beneficiary-centric activities of the department.

As per the pilot project, transporters selected by the SFC would reach the food grains at the doorsteps of dealers, who, in turn, would ensure delivery of the collected items among the beneficiaries.
It is being hoped that the pilot project under implementation would not be marred by corruption and blackmarketing. Following the review of the food grain procurement exercise of the SFC and lack of godowns for their storage, it was decided to invite and promote private operators to build godowns, which would be used by the SFC on rent, Sharan said. The government would facilitate bank loans for the identified private investors in the construction of private godowns. According to Sharan, the CM also reviewed the distribution of coupons in various districts. It was found that the distribution was 90% complete in 17 of the 38 districts - Patna, Nalanda, Aurangabad, Gaya, Siwan, Banka, Bhagalpur, Bhojpur, Gopalganj, Jehanabad, Munger, Khagaria, Kishanganj, Rohtas, Saharsa, Supaul and Arwal. Meanwhile, general secretary of the Fair Price Dealers' Association Srikant Labh on Friday reiterated that the indefinite stir of the 45,000 dealers would continue in favour of their demand that they be declared as salaried employees of the government.
