Uttar Pradesh uses GPS tracking to curb food grain theft and diversion

Uttar Pradesh's GPS tracking system significantly curbs food grain theft and diversion within its Public Distribution System. The digital monitoring covers over 5,000 vehicles, providing real-time tracking from depots to fair price shops, and is also mandatory for paddy procurement. This initiative, alongside a single-stage doorstep delivery model, enhances transparency and accountability in the state's food grain supply chain.
