The state has achieved many milestones by exploiting information technology as a tool to make citizens' lives easy. Projects like EPDS has changed the way people used to get ration at the government-run stores. Earlier, people had to face difficulties and sometimes run from pillar to post to get the ration. With technological interventions, people are getting ration at stores via POS (point of sale) machines across the state. When asked about how this entire project was brought in, Ambrish Kumar, Commissioner and Special Secretary, Department of IT and Communication, Government of Rajasthan, says, “ICT has enabled government officials to track how much of the ration a person has received from a particular ration store. Over one crore PDS transactions are happening every month in Rajasthan.”
