The Delhi government is launching a Unique ID scheme. The first phase will involve surveying beneficiaries across five departments. This will increase transparency and prevent duplication in government schemes.
Delhi News: The Delhi government has announced a new initiative to issue Unique IDs to all Delhi residents. The aim is to enhance transparency and prevent duplicate beneficiaries in government schemes. Initially, a survey will collect information from beneficiaries in the Food and Supplies Department, Women and Child Development Department, Labour Department, Revenue Department, and Social Welfare Department. Following this, unique IDs will be issued to ensure government benefits reach the intended recipients.
Survey to Collect Information on 37 Data Points
The government is preparing for a large-scale survey to issue Unique IDs. This survey will gather information on 37 different data points, including name, address, caste, religion, PAN, Aadhaar, income, and EPFO number. This comprehensive data will help the government gain a clearer understanding of beneficiaries and minimize irregularities in scheme implementation. This data will be stored on an integrated digital platform, making information easily accessible to citizens.
Unique IDs to Enhance Transparency and Prevent Fraud
The Delhi government states that Unique IDs will not only simplify the process of preventing duplicate benefits but also improve the implementation of government schemes. Beneficiaries will be able to track the status of all their government schemes from a single point. This will ensure the efficient use of government resources and curb corruption. Furthermore, this ID system will strengthen the Digital India mission.
Single Window System for Convenience
The Unique ID scheme will also establish a single window system where Delhi citizens can view and update their data. This system will consolidate all government schemes in one place, eliminating the need for citizens to visit multiple departments. This will save time and make government services more transparent and accessible.
Broader Impact and Future Plans
In the first phase, Unique IDs will be issued to beneficiaries of five major departments. Subsequent phases will expand the scheme to include all Delhi residents. This will assist the Delhi government in monitoring schemes and improving policy-making. Implementation of the scheme will ensure better access to government services and effective distribution of benefits for Delhi's citizens.
Survey to Commence Soon
The Delhi government has begun preparations for the survey and will launch it shortly. The government urges all citizens to cooperate fully to ensure everyone receives their Unique ID. This scheme will make Delhi's government schemes more transparent and effective, benefiting all citizens.
