Early Times Report LUCKNOW, Aug 19: The Yogi government is set to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make social welfare schemes more effective, transparent, and free from irregularities. The Social Welfare Department is moving towards technologically strengthening the monitoring of key welfare schemes such as old age pension, family benefit, scholarships, and mass marriages. This initiative aims not only to ensure that benefits reach the rightful beneficiaries but also to make administrative processes faster, paperless, and more accountable. To eliminate any scope of irregularities, the department is considering the adoption of an AI-based monitoring system. Recently, a special workshop on the theme "Use of AI in Social Welfare Schemes" was organized in the presence of Social Welfare Minister (Independent Charge) Asim Arun. With the help of AI, accuracy will be ensured in data verification, beneficiary identification, and scheme implementation. This will help curb malpractices and guarantee that benefits reach genuine beneficiaries on time.
