Exclusion

आग लगा दो मशीनों को!

राशन की दुकानो पर पीओएस मशीने ठीक से काम नही कर रही है और इसका खामियाजा राशन उपभोक्ताओ को उठाना पड़ रहा है। कहीं पर नेटवर्क की परेशानी है तो कहीं पर फिंगर इम्प्रेशन नही आने से लोगो को राशन नही मिल रहा है। सब्र का बांध टूटता देख अब

'I cannot get pensions in village after Aadhaar introduced'

This is Fefi Devi W/o Nathu Singh from village and Panchayat Kukerkheda, Block Bhim, Distt Rajsamand, Rajasthan. Both are above 90 years and they haven't got ration from Fair Price Shop after Aadhar based biometric authentication was introduced. The PoS machine doesn't detect their biometrics.

Fefi Devi says she enrolled in Aadhaar but the machine does not recognise her fingerprints. After Aadhaar was made mandatory, she can no longer get her pension in the village, and has to now travel 10 kilometers spending Rs 150 for getting her Rs 500 pension.

"Does Aadhaar work for the elderly?"

Chhattisgarh government made Aadhaar authentication mandatory in two districts - in Dhamatar and Raigarh - six months back. All beneficiaries have to go to the ration shop and carry out fingerprint authentication or get photographed when they go to the ration shope before they can collect their 7 kilo rations per month.

Surjomati Yadav. an elderly widow, with no immediate family members, in Baghburha village in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh was unable to get 7 kilo grains after Aadhaar made mandatory.
