When Ramaswamy Balasubramaniam finished his public administration degree at an Ivy
League university and returned to Karnataka, nothing much had changed on the
corruption front.

The only change was the state's the-then anti-corruption watchdog (read:
Lokayukta) Santosh Hegde was waging a war against rampant corruption at government
agencies.Hegde, with whom the forty six-year-old doctor from Mysore had worked
before, gave him a daunting task. Probe into the public distribution system in the
state, he was told and after a year-long investigation, Balasubramaniam came up
with some startling finding: every month, the Karnataka government loses Rs 145.8
crore because of outages in the public distribution system. By the time the report
came out, Hegde had also published his indicting report on illegal mining in the
state which pegged the loss to the exchequer at Rs 16,085 crore over four years.
The two reports had one more thing in common: both recommended use of technology
to plug loopholes and inefficiencies and bring in more transparency.

The report by Balasubramaniam listed several irregularities in the public


distribution system including losses due to over-allotment, distribution problems,
loss due to fake ration cards and loss in transportation, among other things. To
plug these outages, he recommended implementation of a computerised integrated
inventory management system at all levels The central database apart,
Balasubramaniam - who also runs a non-profit - spoke about technology
interventions like complete computerisation of ration card database, use of smart
card and GPS tracking devices for food consignments .Computerisation of the ration
card database will make it easy to identify beneficiaries and improper
classification can be traced, he says. The report is especially harsh on poor
monitoring. By using biometric smart cards, creating helplines and

introducing point of sales devices, most of the leakage can be stopped, says
Balasubaramaniam who is now working with the central government on policy and
administration issues.

The Lokayukta's report on illegal mining not only shook the state's political
system leading to the resignation of chief minister BS Yedyurappa but also
proposed several technology initiatives to clean up the mining mess. Chief
conservator of forests UV Singh, who led the Lokayukta police in the illegal
mining probe, said the current system of granting permits to transport of iron ore
was flawed and proposed a system which will track ore consignment from the source
till its destination. He also said a mechanism should be there to monitor
RBI Assistant 2019 Mains Previous Year Paper

consignments through electronic handshakes, a method of acknowledging a


transaction electronically. An integrated technology enabled system has been
recommended in the report.

To bring in transparency, he moots a database which carries information permits


and trip sheets should be shared with other departments like forest, customs and
the railways and all the databases should talk to each other. Transportation of
ore is another area which needs to be strictly monitored. Checkposts networked
with the central database should be equipped with weighbridges and automated
processes that checks overloading of trucks, he recommended. Stockyard operations
should also be monitored, said the report. He also says permits should be checked
automatically using radio frequency tags, video cameras and the central database
should be queried on a real time basis at check posts. While technology can bring
in transparency and accountability, not all technology efforts are a sure-shot
success. For instance, the state government's recent attempts to check
unauthorised gas connections in Bangalore, created a lot of confusion following
wrong keying in and uploading of data at the consumer department's database.

conservator of forests UV Singh, who led the Lokayukta police in the illegal
mining probe, said the current system of granting permits to transport of iron ore
was flawed and proposed a system which will track ore consignment from the source

consignments through electronic handshakes, a method of acknowledging a

To bring in transparency, he moots a database which carries information permits


and trip sheets should be shared with other departments like forest, customs and
the railways and all the databases should talk to each other. Transportation of
ore is another area which needs to be strictly monitored. Checkposts networked
with the central database should be equipped with weighbridges and automated
processes that checks overloading of trucks, he recommended. Stockyard operations
should also be monitored, said the report. He also says permits should be checked
automatically using radio frequency tags, video cameras and the central database
should be queried on a real time basis at check posts. While technology can bring
in transparency and accountability, not all technology efforts are a sure-shot
success. For instance, the state government's recent attempts to check
unauthorised gas connections in Bangalore, created a lot of confusion following
wrong keying in and uploading of data at the consumer department's database.

When Ramaswamy Balasubramaniam finished his public administration degree at an Ivy


League university and returned to Karnataka, nothing much had changed on the
corruption front.

The only change was the state's the-then anti-corruption watchdog (read:
Lokayukta) Santosh Hegde was waging a war against rampant corruption at government
agencies.Hegde, with whom the forty six-year-old doctor from Mysore had worked
before, gave him a daunting task. Probe into the public distribution system in the
state, he was told and after a year-long investigation, Balasubramaniam came up
RBI Assistant 2019 Mains Previous Year Paper

with some startling finding: every month, the Karnataka government loses Rs 145.8
crore because of outages in the public distribution system. By the time the report
came out, Hegde had also published his indicting report on illegal mining in the
state which pegged the loss to the exchequer at Rs 16,085 crore over four years.
The two reports had one more thing in common: both recommended use of technology
to plug loopholes and inefficiencies and bring in more transparency.

The report by Balasubramaniam listed several irregularities in the public


distribution system including losses due to over-allotment, distribution problems,
loss due to fake ration cards and loss in transportation, among other things. To
plug these outages, he recommended implementation of a computerised integrated
inventory management system at all levels The central database apart,
Balasubramaniam - who also runs a non-profit - spoke about technology
interventions like complete computerisation of ration card database, use of smart
card and GPS tracking devices for food consignments .Computerisation of the ration
card database will make it easy to identify beneficiaries and improper
classification can be traced, he says. The report is especially harsh on poor
monitoring. By using biometric smart cards, creating helplines and

introducing point of sales devices, most of the leakage can be stopped, says
Balasubaramaniam who is now working with the central government on policy and
administration issues.
