Introduction
Government ration shop is established to serve Indian citizen by providing the food materials for affordable cost. But due to delay in supply all citizen need to come to the ration shop and ask them whether they are providing the items today. Because of this problem when the items are provided people stand in big queue fighting for the items thinking that they won’t get items. If they are aware of the items content and when they are provided then it will be helpful for them. Our system is not only intimate the citizens about their sales, but also provides schedule for buying the food items. When the food items are received in the ration warehouse the schedule will be sent as “MESSAGE”. Our system is centralized so all the data are stored in the central server when food items received and also at the time of sale within home delivery. Our system is flexible for user interaction more easily to communicate with admin.

The main goal of this project is to avoid corruption and to save time of consumers by delivery process. In case the customer failed to buy goods for continuously three month the application will alert consumer that you couldn’t buy goods. In absence of buying goods for three month the card declined then consumer can renewal the card every process will stored in the database and it monitored by admin.
- Displaying system: If the data is found reliable, then the system will process for displaying the name of the ration card holder and the quantity of ration chosen for the customer.
