An App To Host 50 Services For Dalits, Adivasis

htwA new mobile app that the Karnataka government is working on could see dalits and adivasis avail of as many as 50 government services, geared towards their development, at their fingertip. In addition to the app, the government is also planning on launching a centralized helpline for those not digitally enabled. “Many dalits and adivasis in the state are not aware of many government schemes such as Ganga Kalyana Yojane, Bhoo Odethana Yojane, etc. We hope the app creates awareness about these schemes, and ensure they reap the benefits of the same,” said Sreenivasulu, managing director of BR Ambedkar Development Corporation, a government agency focussed on working towards the development of dalits and adivasis. If the app becomes a reality, Karnataka would be the first state to launch such an initiative -unifying a variety of services meant for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs/STs) on one platform. Besides state government schemes, the app will also integrate services offered by the Centre, eliminating the need for SCs/STs to visit government offices to get these services.
