Paper Details

The Parivaar Pehchaan Patra (Family ID) initiative by the Government of Haryana represents a transformative shift in the governance by establishing a comprehensive family-based database for streamlining the delivery of public services and welfare schemes. This paper examines the conceptual framework, strategies, and multidimensional impacts of the PPP system, in the empowerment of women, highlighting its role in fostering inclusive development and efficient administration. By assigning a unique identification number to each family, the program ensures seamless access to government benefits, reduces bureaucratic inefficiencies, and eliminates duplication. Through a survey conducted in the Ballabhgarh town of Faridabad district, this paper underscores the PPP's contribution to women beneficiaries and social equity and governance. The study further explores the challenges such as digital literacy gaps, exclusive participation of male members, while analysing the need for continuous measures for women upliftment to provide a balanced critique. Ultimately, the paper concludes that the PPP offers a scalable model for leveraging technology to achieve welfare-centric governance, serving as a blueprint for other states in India and beyond but lagging behind in addressing gender-specific concerns and backwardness of women. This research adds to the discourse on innovative governance mechanisms, emphasising the significance of integrated, women-focused approaches in ensuring equitable development in modern democracies.
