RANCHI: Charo Oraon, 66 of Hurhuru village under Ratu block of Ranchi district has not been able to procure ration from the public distribution shop since June 2016-the reason-earlier he was not enrolled with the unique identification authority (Aadhar) and it was made mandatory by the state government to have Aadhar number for procuring ration.

Off late he got his Aadhar registration by August but still is denied ration. Now he has to face unique problem as the Point of Sale (PoS) machine has denied identifying his biometrics due to technical glitches.

Charo oraon is not the only case in Jharkhand as there have been several instances of technical glitches coming in the way of identification, verification and generation of slip for giving ration to the individuals and households.

Noted activist and former member National advisory Council, Jean Dreze points out the figures of grain distribution in Jharkhand which has fallen to 50% since introduction of Aadhar and biometric identification by the department in state.

"Figures of grain procurement available with the government website of National Food Security Act (NFSA) for month of July point out that only 50% of the estimated food grain have been distributed all through the state and if recent data from government of Jharkhand website aahar. Jharkhand.gov.inare noticed only 53% of the foodgrain has been procured by beneficiaries in the month of August," he said.

Dreze also pointed that the new system requires many fragile technologies to work at the same time-"The PoS machine, the internet, the biometrics, remote servers, and the mobile network should function simultaneously. In addition, the data groundwork (including Aadhaar seeding) must have been done correctly. In Jharkhand, where there are huge connectivity problems even in the state capital," he said.
