UP Govt Issues Family IDs Under ‘One Family-One Identity’ Scheme

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government is issuing family IDs under the ‘One Family-One Identity’ scheme to provide government benefits to every family and connect at least one member of each family with employment services.

The ration card number of families benefiting from the National Food Security Scheme serves as their Family ID. Apart from them, more than 1 lakh families without ration cards have also been issued Family IDs in the state.

During a high-level meeting here on Thursday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviewed the current status of the ‘Family ID’ process being issued to each family unit in the state. Under the ‘One Family-One Identity’ scheme, each family is issued a unique ID, which will help create a comprehensive live database of family units in the state. This database will assist in better management of beneficiary-oriented schemes, timely targeting, transparent operations, and ensuring 100 percent delivery of schemes to the eligible people by simplifying access, Adityanath said.

CM Yogi said all 76 schemes/services run by the Central and State Government have been linked to the Family ID. Other remaining beneficiary-oriented schemes should also be linked to the Family ID. The database of all the schemes run with the cooperation of the Central Government should be obtained and linked to the Family Welfare Pass Book and Family ID.

CM instructed the officials that Aadhaar application and Aadhaar authentication should be made mandatory in online application of all beneficiary-oriented (DBT) schemes/services. This will help in increasing the coverage of family ID.
