Slide26Slide27RISKS, CHALLENGES & MITIGATION STRATEGY
Slide28Risk 1
Implementation of CORE PDS acts against the interest of many FPS Agencies. It is not wise to assume that FPS will sincerely try to implement CORE PDS
Slide29Mitigation Strategy
When one FPS says that the POS is not working beneficiary can go to a near by FPS. FPS that can not run COREPDS loses its business to other FPSs.
FPS automation without portability as tried in some States is difficult to sustain
Slide30Risk 2
In the initial days, all FPSs in an area can form a nexus and see that POSs do not work.
Slide31Mitigation Strategy
CGSCSC operates mobile FPS
.
Slide32Mitigation Strategy
Whenever a report is received that many FPSs are not working in one area, these trucks will be sent to that area. They serve the beneficiaries in front of the FPSs. Thus, FPSs who do run CORE PDS shall lose their business.
Slide33Risk 3
Competition does not help if everyone is bad. FPSs may intentionally do not improve their service to prove that COREPDS is a failure.
Slide34Mitigation Strategy
Good performers – NGOs, Corporates under their CSR – will be introduced
50 FPS buildings under construction, each costing 10 lakhs
They will set benchmark for service
Slide35Competition does not matter when all are bad.
NGOs, trusts and social activists may be asked to run additional FPS points (in addition to the existing) at strategic locations to introduce real competition. These shops also replenished with the PDS commodities not with the cash
-
Sufficient security deposit
- Strict norms for opening timings, display board etc.
- No discrimination among beneficiaries
( Yet to be implemented)
Slide36Risk 4
Connectivity is either not available or speed is not sufficient
Slide37Mitigation Strategy
Connectivity Survey was done. GPRS connectivity is available at all the
7200 FPS out of 8000
FPSs.
Slide38Location of
FPSs
in Raipur
Slide39Risk 5
Unreliable connectivity
Slide40Mitigation Strategy
COREPDS by design is an online system. But it allows a limited offline issues also in case of connectivity failure
( 3 for a beneficiary and 100 for an FPS)
Offline records will be uploaded whenever Smart card is inserted in a connected POS device or through FI module
Slide41Risk 6
Too much dependency on SI
Slide42Mitigation Strategy
NIC is developing all web services required
1st version of POS application has been developed by SI. SI handovered the source code to NIC
NIC has sufficient skill set for maintenance of POS software
Slide43COREPDS
Performance Indicators & Outcome
Slide44Reduction in Fake Issues
Change in percentage of sale of commodities at FPS
Slide45Reduction in Diversion
Indicator
Before COREPDS
After CORPDS
Remark
Sale of
BPL Grain
100%
95%
Prior to COREPDS, FPSs used to record proxy issues and declare 99 to 100% sale. After introduction of Smart card / OTP authentication the sale figure have reduced.
Sale of
Kerosene
100%
75%
Sale of
APL Grain
80%
50%
Slide46Measurement of Portability
Churning Effect
The % of beneficiaries taken commodities from other than attached FPSs in the total beneficiaries taken commodities in that month will be calculated.
Slide47Freedom to chose
Currently
20%
of beneficiaries are using portability. Remaining beneficiaries are taking at their own FPS, but now with their choice not by compulsion.
At this context I want to refer
Amartya
Sen’s
quotation which is as follows
Slide48From 'Development as Freedom', p 27
"A person produces the same commodities in the same
way
and ends up with same income and buys the same goods, she may still have very good reason to prefer the scenario of free choice over that of submission to order"
Amartya
Sen
Winner of the noble prize in economics
Slide49Measurement of Portability
Weeding Out Bad FPSs:
% of FPSs that have served less than 75% of attached beneficiaries in total number of FPS in COREPDS shall be measured
40 % FPS have lost more than 25% business
Slide50Benefits
Reduced waiting time at FPS
Reduced number of trips to FPS
Behavioral change in FPS sales men
Weeding out bad FPS
Bribe money stopped at the root
Slide51First Times in the country
Portability is first time offered in PDS in the country.
It is the first successful experiment to use other department’s smart cards that is RSBY cards with out duplicating the work
OTP authentication in PDS
Slide52Status
COREPDS is presently operational in
302
FPSs in 4 Raipur,
Rajnandgaon
,
Durg
and
Mahasamund
cites and some rural FPS,
benefiting
3.0
Lakh families. On an average our server gets 20 transactions per minute.
Slide53Thoughts For Debate
Slide54FPS automation without portability
FPS automation without portability creates more inconvenience to the genuine beneficiary
Slide55Portability in Rural areas?
Migrated
labourers
Most of the villages have more 3 FPSs within 5 KM
To serve small villages at door steps
Social reasons
Slide56Is Biometric authentication necessary in PDS
Waive-off facility
Friend families
With any other genuine beneficiaries authentication
Slide57Is Weighing Scale integration Helpful?
Under-
weighment
is due to disempowerment. Empower the beneficiary. No need to integrate weighing scales with POS device.
Slide58What kind of FPS automation?
Online system, but should support a limited offline transactions
Aadhaar
-based Biometric authentication with alternate authentication mechanism
RSBY or other Smart cards for quick start without waiting for
Aadhaar
saturation and to allow for offline transactions
Slide59What kind of PDS envisioned?
Empowered beneficiary
with choice of FPS,
choice of commodities
and choice to take cash in stead of commodities
NGOs/ MNC running ‘FPS chain’ treating beneficiary as a valued customer, to capture ‘fortune at the bottom of the pyramid’
Mobile FPS to serve remotest villages at their door steps
Slide60This kind of PDS is not a distant dream with available technology and growing political and
beurocratic
will for improving PDS
