Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has said that a total of 1.30 crore Digital Life Certificates, DLCs were generated during the DLC Campaign 3.0 which concluded on Saturday. The campaign was launched on the 1st of last month to simplify digital life certificate submissions particularly for super senior pensioners. It was the largest ever campaign conducted for Improving Pensioners Welfare in the country.
Out of the total DLCs, 39 lakh were generated using Face Authentication Technology. The campaign strived to achieve a saturation model, aimed at complete coverage
across the country to ensure no pensioner was left behind, prioritizing underserved populations. As part of the campaign, over 1800 camps were organized across more than 800 cities and districts in the country. Aligned with the Digital India vision, the campaign embodies the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to enhance the ease of living for senior citizens.
In his Mann Ki Baat on 24th of last month, Mr Modi lauded the initiative’s ability to empower elderly pensioners with technology, enabling them to submit DLCs from their homes.
