'Anna Seve' App to Enable Statewide e-KYC for Karnataka PDS Beneficiaries from October 14
Karnataka's 'Anna Seve' mobile app, launched by Food Minister Rizwan Arshad on October 1, will be available statewide from October 14 to help Public Distribution System beneficiaries complete e-KYC remotely. The app, developed with the National Informatics Centre and the Department of e-Governance, was piloted in eight districts where over 1.6 lakh beneficiaries completed e-KYC. With a deadline of October 20, beneficiaries are urged to use the app to avoid visiting government offices or fair price shops for verification.
