      Solution

      The CBDC-based Digital Food Currency pilot launched under the Public Distribution System began with an initial rollout in selected districts of Gujarat. These districts include Ahmedabad, Anand, Valsad, and Surat. The programme uses programmable Digital Rupee (eโ‚น) issued by the Reserve Bank of India and credited directly to beneficiaries as digital coupons. Beneficiaries can use these coupons to purchase food grains at Fair Price Shops through QR code payments or voucher codes. The initiative aims to improve transparency, ensure real-time tracking of transactions, and reduce problems associated with repeated biometric authentication.
