Instead Of Making Life Easier For Pensioners, Widows, Transgenders, A J&K Govt Online Process Has Led To Misery

In September 2022, the Jammu & Kashmir government began online verification to make welfare doles for pensioners, the differently abled, widows, and transgenders more efficient. Instead, reflecting similar glitches in other states, hundreds have been denied monthly income for seven to eight months due to lack of documents, system glitches and biometric mismatches, despite several trips to offices meant to help them.

1.2 crore MGNREGS workers will not be paid because they are not on Aadhaar-based wage system

The fourth extension for mandatory payments under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme via Aadhaar Based Payments System ends on August 31. As the numbers stand, out of the total 26 crore job card holders, 41.1% are still not eligible for this mode of payment. The Ministry of Rural Development has ruled out any more extensions, arguing that among the active workers, only 18.3% are ineligible.

While CoWin may have been promoted as the solution for vaccine management delivery, the idea was also to promote data sharing with the private sector for the digital health economy. The same model is being pushed across the globe by multilateral organisations.
