Datafication of the Public Distribution System in India: by Sameet Panda — published Jul 08, 2022 — last modified Feb 12, 2024 12:07 PM — filed under: RAW Research, Featured, Researchers at Work, RAW Blog
In this study, we look into the datafication of social protection schemes with a special focus on the Public Distribution System in India. Proponents of datafication claim that the benefits will reach the right person and curb leakages through the automation and digitisation of all PDS processes. Aadhaar is the most important link in the datafication; supporters claim that it makes technology people-centric. This study looks at the status of PDS datafication and its impact on the delivery of the scheme in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. We also try to understand to what extent the stated objective of portability has been met and how far the challenges faced by the rights holders of the PDS have been resolved.

Right to Food Campaign, Ranchi Convention, 2016: by Sumandro Chattapadhyay — published Sep 26, 2016 — last modified Mar 16, 2019 04:40 AM — filed under: Big Data, Data Systems, Internet Governance, Surveillance, Aadhaar, Welfare Governance, Biometrics, Big Data for Development, UID
The Right to Food Campaign held its 2016 Convention in Ranchi during September 23-25, 2016. While three years have elapsed since the passage of the National Food Security Act, despite improvements in the Public Distribution System (PDS), large implementation gaps remain. This is what the Convention focused on, and gathered researchers and campaigners from across the country to share experiences and case studies on effectiveness and exclusions from the PDS. Sumandro Chattapadhyay took part in a session of the Convention to discuss how UID-linked welfare delivery is being rolled out across key programmes like provision of pension and rationed distribution of essential commodities, and their impact on people's right to welfare services.
