Prime Minister Narendra Modi after reviewing the progress of UID and DBT in a high-level meeting has called for accelerating the delivery of benefits and expanding the applications of the Aadhaar (UID) platform. He also directed the strengthening of the institutional mechanism related with Aadhaar and DBT, using a portion of the savings being achieved.
The high level meeting was attended by the Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Ministers of State in the Finance and Home Ministries, Jayant Sinha and Haribhai Chaudhary, NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya, and senior officials from various ministries. Prime Minister directed the concerned officials to identify such applications where concrete results can be achieved in next two months.
During the meeting, PM was apprised about the current status of Aadhaar enrollment and the direct transfer of benefits in various sectors and was informed that a total of 14 to 15 percent savings are being achieved in LPG subsidy alone, as a result of elimination of leakages, and de-duplication.
The Prime Minister on his part asked the concerned officers to examine the possibility of incentivising states through a one-time sharing of a portion of the savings, as a result of successful implementation of DBT schemes.
