Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has made annual e-KYC mandatory for all PM-KISAN beneficiaries. Gujarat’s Agriculture Department asked farmers to complete biometric or face-authentication verification before June 30 to continue receiving financial assistance under the central scheme
To monitor the working hours of Anganwadi centres, track children's attendance, house visits, and the distribution of take-home rations (THR), eggs, and Balamrutham, the Centre launched the Poshan Tracker app in 2020. Now, the government plans to enhance the app by adding a face authentication feature to further streamline the system. In addition to updating the app, beneficiaries' details, including their photo, Aadhar number, and phone number, will need to be uploaded.
