Each beneficiary of the PDS is provided with a smart ration card, which can be produced at any fair price shop to avail food grains at subsidised rates. Each of these shops is equipped with a Point of Sale (POS) device. This has two smart card readers, a finger print scanner, a thermal printer and general packet radio service (GPRS), which uses a SIM card. It uses an application called COREPDS (Centralised Online Real-time Electronic PDS) with GPRS connectivity. When a smart card is inserted into the device, it reads the card number which is then sent to a server. The details of the beneficiary are stored in this server.

ArjunChavan is a 70 years old farmer from Pendgaon in Beed district. He is at the cattle camp since January this year with his 4 cows, 2 oxen and 1 calf. The drought of 1972 wasn't this terrible. We had shortage of food grains but had plenty of water. We used to regularly receive ration from the government. But this time, there is neither water nor fodder. To top it all, ration supplies are irregular. On being asked, why he did not sell his cattle due to extreme drought, he said, Why will I sell my cattle? What will I do without cattle? A farmer cannot cultivate without cattle. Where will milk come from? Where will cow dung come from? Janwarhai to shetkarihai [If there is cattle, there is farmer].
