Built something I'm genuinely proud of this semester 🧵

India's Public Distribution System serves ~800 million people. But ghost beneficiaries, stock diversion, and manual record-keeping mean a lot of that ration never reaches the right hands.

So I built RationChain — a blockchain-based PDS tracker that puts every allocation, quota, and distribution on-chain, permanently.

⛓️ What it does: → 4 roles: Admin, Ration Shop, Beneficiary, Public → Admin allocates stock (Rice, Wheat, Sugar, Kerosene) to shops → Shops distribute to registered beneficiaries → Monthly quotas auto-reset every 30 days → Over-distribution blocked at the smart contract level → Public Transparency Dashboard — anyone can verify, no login needed

🛠️ Stack: Solidity + Hardhat + Node.js/Express + React

The part I'm most proud of: duplicate registrations are blocked on-chain via isAddressRegistered() — so you literally can't add a ghost beneficiary without it reverting.

This started as a college project but honestly made me think a lot about where blockchain actually solves a real problem vs. where it's just buzzword tech. PDS feels like a genuine fit.
