Haryana Government has recently set up its first ATM machine for dispensing food grains at Farrukhnagar in Gurugram, which will provide three types of grains — wheat, rice, and millet.
The purpose of installing the grain vending machine is to ensure that the right quantity reaches the right beneficiary. This would not only benefit the consumers but will also end the complaints regarding the shortage of food grains at government depots and would bring more transparency in the public food distribution system.
As per the official statement, this machine is installed under the ”World Food Programme” of the United Nations, and is called Automated, Multi Commodity, and Grain Dispensing Machine.
Any error in the measurement of grain is negligible and this machine can dispense up to 70 kg of grains within 5 to 7 minutes.
