Gruhalakshmi Scheme beneficiary verification in Kalaburagi

In Kalaburagi, the Karnataka state government has launched a door-to-door verification process for the Gruhalakshmi Scheme, which provides monthly assistance of 2,000 rupees to eligible beneficiaries. The initiative, led by the Women and Child Development Department, utilizes teams of Anganwadi workers, Asha workers, and local government staff to ensure funds are not credited to ineligible or deceased individuals.

To maintain accuracy and transparency, officials are using mobile applications featuring facial authentication and GPS-tagged photos. Beneficiaries must provide documentation such as Aadhaar cards, ration cards, and bank details.

District Collector Ikram Sharif has reinforced these efforts, directing officials to conduct re-verifications to prevent eligible women from being excluded due to technical errors or documentation lapses. With approximately 5.97 lakh beneficiaries registered in the district, the administration is focused on identifying ineligible applicants while supporting vulnerable families. Additionally, the Collector emphasized the timely implementation of departmental action plans regarding Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) funds.
