Recently, the Bihar state government approved the installation of the first set of three grain ATM machines in Patna as a pilot project.
About Grain ATM:
A grain ATM or Annapurti (meaning “provider of grain”) is an automated machine that dispenses food grains (wheat and/or rice).
The World Food Programme (WFP) developed the technology behind the machine and has worked in collaboration with the Food Corporation of India and various state governments.
Key Features of Grain ATM:
The machines can work 24×7 like ATMs, and can be powered through solar energy.
They also require internet connectivity to access the PDS database and the individual profile of a Below Poverty Line (BPL) cardholder.
