Pensioner Welfare Initiative is the recognition given to DLC Campaign 4.0, which has become the largest campaign for pensioners in India. Conducted by the Department of Pensions and Pensioners’ Welfare, it achieved massive outreach by generating 1.91 crore Digital Life Certificates between April 2025 and March 2026. The campaign introduced advanced Face Authentication Technology, enabling elderly pensioners to submit certificates easily from home. With extensive coverage across 2,000 locations and support from multiple stakeholders, it ensured accessibility, especially for senior citizens, and marked a major step in digital governance and inclusive service delivery.
