Chandigarh : In a major step towards citizen-centric governance, the Haryana Government is ensuring that most government services and certificates are being made available online from the comfort of citizens’ homes. Through a transparent, paperless, faceless and cashless service delivery mechanism, the State Government continues to strengthen the framework of good governance across Haryana.
Sharing more details in this regard an official spokesperson stated that under the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) scheme, launched in June 2020, a reliable and integrated database of families across the State has been created. This database will serve as the foundation for future developmental policies of the State and will also ensure seamless doorstep delivery of government welfare benefits to eligible citizens. Under this system, every registered family is assigned a unique Family Identification Number.
Commissioner and Secretary, Citizen Resources Information Department (CRID), Sh. J. Ganesan, informed that for the effective implementation of the scheme, the Haryana Parivar Pehchan Authority was constituted in October 2021. The Authority is responsible for issuing Family Identification Numbers and ensuring the development, updation and maintenance of the family information database.
Similarly, financial assistance is being provided to beneficiaries registered under various welfare schemes, including 9.7 lakh beneficiaries under the Old Age Samman Pension Scheme, 93,000 widow pension beneficiaries, 11.21 lakh beneficiaries under the Lado Lakshmi Yojana, 56,000 disability pension beneficiaries, 1 lakh widower and unmarried pension beneficiaries, 1.23 lakh beneficiaries under the Mukhya Mantri Vivah Shagun Yojna, 16,000 beneficiaries under the Aapki Beti Hamari Beti scheme and more than 57,000 beneficiaries under the Dayalu Scheme.
The spokesperson further informed that, under the guidance of the Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, the department will soon roll out PPP 2.0, which will be based on an upgraded architecture of the existing PPP platform. The new system will mark a major step towards making the existing framework more robust, seamless and citizen-friendly.
