Maharashtra to adopt RFP model for tender contracts in two months

Maharashtra has found as many as 10 million fake ration cards using technology tools, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday.

He also announced the new model request for proposal (RFP) while tendering out IT contracts, developed by Nasscom and the Union Ministry of Electronics and IT.

“The public distribution system (PDS) has changed through technology initiatives. With all the digital initiatives, we have actually found out 10 million fake ration cards,” Fadnavis told the annual Nasscom leadership forum here.
