India’s First Grain ATM Launched in Odisha
India’s first Grain ATM was launched in Odisha on August 8, 2024, under the National Food Security Programme, supported by the Annapurti initiative and developed with the World Food Programme’s assistance. These automated machines aim to enhance food distribution efficiency, reduce corruption, and improve nutritional security by providing 24/7 access to food grains, with biometric authentication and fortified grains in some cases. The initiative aligns with global goals for fair food distribution and is expected to expand across Odisha to address hunger and malnutrition effectively.
