The major focus of Director FCS&CA Amit Sharma was to use technology as the best saviour for department by ensuring 100% Aadhaar linking of beneficiaries along with usage of ePOS machines for conduct of transactions. He also emphatically mentioned that Supply Chain Management should be fully implemented in FCS&CA Department so that loss due to pilferage, theft and other human errors is minimized.
Amit was very categorical in mentioning that strict penal action shall be taken against all such defaulting officials of the department who would be found guilty in such cases as these ration supplies under NFSA are purely meant for PHH/BPL/AAY population.

Apart from this, all Assistant Directors were directed by Director Amit Sharma to submit various reports in a time bound manner and take lead in conducting checks in the markets especially regarding essential commodities falling under the ambit of FCS&CA Department.
