Its main purpose is to overcome the deficiencies of PDS. The success of this new scheme crucially depends upon the extent of financial inclusion, financial literacy, and physical accessibility of food grains throughout the length and breadth of the country. The present study tries to report the satisfaction level of beneficiaries in Chandigarh from DBT scheme. The objective of this study is to find the gaps that why citizens are not accepting this project. It also aims to evaluate the impact of scheme on women dependency. The paper is based on the primary data collected from the various areas of Chandigarh. Perception survey method has been used to explain the views of the respondents. Three sets of respondents have been interviewed and their perceptions have been recorded. Those are Beneficiaries of DBT scheme, Depot Holder and Governmental Officials. The responses of the households indicate that efforts are needed to meet the pre-requisites of successful implementation of DBT. The research found that more than 52 percent respondents are neither getting cash nor they are getting DBT. 18 percent are still not registeredIJSER with the scheme. The amount which citizens are receiving is not at all sufficient. 20 percent of the people have received cash in initial months and later on they didn’t receive. While an interaction with Depot walas, they stated that, after DBT scheme they become unemployed. A ‘Signature Abhiyaan’ has been conducted along with the help of citizens of Chandigarh to stop the scheme but nothing has been done so far. Overall, the study concludes that at implementation level, there still exists scope for improvement. Also, improvement in financial awareness can indirectly help in successful implementation of this scheme.

Gopi Technical Director & Scientist 'E', Puducherry UT , National Informatics Centre, Swaminathan Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India Dr. Dev Ratna State Informatics Officer & Scientist 'F', Puducherry UT, National Informatics Centre, Shukla Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India ABSTRACT The Direct benefit Transfer (DBT) system launched by Government of India to ensure that benefits go to individuals' bank accounts electronically, minimizing multiple layers involved in fund flow thereby reducing delay in payment, ensuring accurate targeting of the beneficiary and curbing pilferage and duplication. In Public Distribution System, the system has been implemented to beneficiaries identified under National Food Security Act, 2013 in Union Territories of Government of India for providing Food security. Puducherry UT, with 1.64 lakhs families has been operational since September 2015. Although the small size of the U.T., the geographical locations of the four regions among the three Southern States of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh in India with three different spoken languages poses a real challenge for planners. Particularly, in Public distribution system, there are many challenges due to various issues in storage and transshipment points of these regions like theft en route, multiple handling, poor quality of gunny bags as well as the loss of moisture, insect-pest and disease infestation, spillage of grain from gunny bags etc. On the other hand, the banking industry has shown tremendous growth in volume and complexity during the last few decades.

  • Digital Cash Transfers for Stranded Migrants Lessons from Bihar’S COVID-19 Assistance Program Anit Mukherjee
    CGD Note OCT 2020 Digital Cash Transfers for Stranded Migrants Lessons from Bihar’s COVID-19 Assistance Program Anit Mukherjee INDIA’S COVID-19 LOCKDOWN AND ITS AFTERMATH On March 24, with little advance notice, India’s federal government announced a strict countrywide lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19. Within two days, it also announced a relief package providing cash transfers to women, elderly and farmers, as well as food grains through the Public Distribution System (PDS). In spite of these measures, millions of migrants – mostly urban informal sector workers - made a desperate attempt to return to their villages, often walking several hundred kilometers over many days to get there. The chaotic scenes witnessed during the first week of India’s lockdown underscored the precariousness of their livelihoods and highlighted the shortcomings in India’s extensive social safety net that caters to nearly 80 percent of its 1.3 billion people. For nearly a decade, India has invested in building a digital infrastructure to transfer social benefits to its citizens directly to their bank accounts. Known as the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) platform, it currently includes 380 schemes run by 52 ministries of the federal government. State governments can use the DBT platform for their own cash transfer schemes as well. India also has a clear strategy in place to enable digital delivery of public services, subsidies and transfers. Known as the “JAM trinity”, the objective is to utilize universal coverage of its biometric ID system, Aadhaar, to expand bank account ownership through the Jan Dhan financial inclusion program and leverage mobile technology to reach final beneficiaries of social assistance.
