Jan Aadhaar scheme is based on the ideology of 'One Number, One Card, One Identity'. Its main objective is to prepare a database of demographic and socio-economic information of the resident families in the state. The Jan Aadhaar scheme also serves as a documentary proof of identity and address to the head of the family and all the members. Through this scheme, the cash benefits of various departmental schemes of the state are transferred directly into the beneficiary's bank account in a transparent manner. Also, the benefits of public welfare schemes are made available closer to homes of the residents and expanding e-commerce and insurance facilities in rural areas.
