TN to introduce biometric ration cards
A biometric system for ration cards is being worked out by the Tamil Nadu Food Department to get rid of duplicate and forged ration cards.
The card will have photos, finger prints of all fingers and high resolution images of the iris of all persons listed in the card. A pattern recognition technique will be used to identify the iris, which is unique to every individual. As if now, the card carries only the photo of the family head.
The food department is also planning to work in tandem with the census department, to avoid duplication of work
The biometric ration cards will be out by June 2011.
