The Uttar Pradesh government has undertaken a major step toward administrative transparency by digitising the National Family Benefit Scheme. This welfare initiative targets economically vulnerable families, ensuring they receive timely financial assistance during distress. The digital transformation of the scheme enables applicants to complete the process online—from application to the disbursal of benefits—within a 75-day window. This shift not only streamlines service delivery but also enhances accountability, reduces manual intervention, and minimizes the potential for delays or corruption. The reform aligns with broader goals of leveraging technology for inclusive governance and public welfare in India.
