In news
The country’s first ‘grain ATM’ has been set up at Farrukhnagar area of Gurugram.

About Grain ATM(Annapurti)

  • It is a pilot project that has been launched as part of the Haryana government’s initiative to ensure food supplies.
  • The purpose of installing this machine is to ensure that the right quantity of ration reaches beneficiaries.
  • The ATM can dispense up to 70 kg of grain within five to seven minutes at a time.
  • Three types of grains such as wheat, rice and millets will be distributed through the machine. 
  • Currently, wheat is being distributed through the grain ATM installed in Farrukhnagar.
  • It is equipped with a biometric system with a touch screen where the beneficiary will have to enter the Aadhaar card or ration card number. 
  • Upon authentication, the foodgrain allocated by the state government for a beneficiary will be automatically filled in bags kept under the machine.
  • This machine will be installed under the ”World Food Programme” of United Nations, and is called Automated, Multi Commodity, Grain Dispensing Machine

  • It works like a bank ATM and will be installed under the UN’s World Food Programme across the state. 
  • It is called an automated multi-commodity grain dispensing machine.
  • State government’s plan is to install these food supply machines at government depots across the state.

Significance & Benefits 

  • With the installation of ‘grain ATMs’, all complaints on the time and right measurement of ration will be redressed in the state.
  • Grain ATM will not only benefit the consumers but will also redress the complaints on shortage of food grains at government depots. 
  • It will also help ensure more transparency in the public food distribution system and save the time of depot operators.
