successfully executed various large IT project (such as SWAN E-District SSDG SDC etc) and has

been instrumental in providing ICT support to various State Government Departments

The Department of Food Civil Supplies amp Consumer Protection is in process of transforming their

existing processesservices with the use of latest technologies towards identification and

authentication of the beneficiary The Department of Food Civil Supplies amp Consumer Protection is

planning to augment their service delivery by inclusion of PoS devices in a phased manner which

shall not only enhance the accuracy of the system but shall also make the systems automated

authentic faster and transparent

SAMAGRA (All-Inclusive) platform has been designed and developed in Madhya Pradesh with the

aim to streamline processes and enable ICT based implementation of individual and family oriented

schemes It also aims to facilitate proactive and entitlement based approach for governance

lsquoSAMAGRArsquo has been created as an integrated database of all families and residents of the State It

also facilitates implementation of various mechanisms to allow verification and maintenance of the

database and various attributes of families and residents by concerned authorities in a collaborative

environment A unique SAMAGRA Family ID has been provided to each family and a Unique

SAMAGRA ID has been provided to each resident The SAMAGRA registry is being owned and

maintained by the concerned local bodies Department of Food uses the SAMAGRA platform for

updating and maintaining their scheme specific attributes and run scheme specific MIS on the

platform The system facilitates listing of all due entitlements and display the list of beneficiaries and

service providers in public domain thereby ensuring transparency efficiency and effectiveness by the

State government Department of Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection has completely

internalized the SAMAGRA platform and leveraged it to address the legal and procedural

requirements for effective and transparent implementation of National Food Security Act 2013 The

Act envisages provision of ration entitlements based upon number of family members therefore

necessitating a robust and dynamic real-time system to work upon

Identification verification and categorization of all familiesresidents of State are being done by their

categories are getting linked to their respective fair price shops electronically and their e-Ration card

is being generated from the system The e-ration card is now dynamic and will get updated every

month as per the change in the category of the family and change in the number of members The

system has allowed authentic and accurate monthly FPS-shop-wise allocations of food grain

Government of India (GoI) through its flagship program ldquoAADHAARrdquo has carried out the enrolment
