Delhi Government Plans Family Card System to Streamline Welfare Benefits
The Delhi government plans to introduce a 'Parivar Pehchan' legislation to create a unified family card system aimed at ensuring welfare benefits reach eligible residents. The card, linked to Aadhaar and issued in the name of the eldest female family member, will include details like births, deaths, and scheme usage. A proposed Delhi Parivar Pehchan Authority, likely led by the chief minister, would oversee implementation, data security, and periodic updates. The initiative draws on Haryana's similar model and remains under development.
