Abstract
The supply chain operations need to be designed to minimize both human and economic losses to assure their effectiveness
during a crisis situation. Various mathematical models using optimization techniques and algorithms have been developed to
address the problems of supply chains post various disaster phases. Models and techniques developed to overcome various
disasters motivate the need to overlook the literature and carry out a systematic review of technological applications supporting
the effectual supply chain management. Various technology platforms are evolving which can provide efficient, secure and
transparent supply chain operations. The research paper focuses on examining the role of blockchain technology in improving
supply chain requirements, improving transparency and visibility among the members of the supply chain for developing holistic
and inclusive solutions in a public distribution system (PDS). The theme is to highlight the difference between the conventional
supply chain and blockchain technology infused supply chain operations facilitating smooth and transparent transactions in the
PDS.
