Dhami government to implement ‘Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana’ in Uttarakhand, Cabinet approves, unique ID to identify individuals

Dehradun: The Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana will be implemented to identify families residing in Uttarakhand. During a cabinet meeting chaired by CM Dhami on Wednesday, the cabinet agreed to implement the Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana to identify families residing in Uttarakhand. Under the Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana, families residing in Uttarakhand will be identified and a Family ID will be created. All important and public welfare schemes implemented in the state will be integrated with the beneficiary family ID, ensuring direct and appropriate benefits to beneficiaries.

In fact, the Uttarakhand government had decided to create a Family Identity Card in the state in 2022, modeled after Haryana, to facilitate easy access to public welfare schemes. Furthermore, concrete action can be taken on complaints of fraudulent schemes or repeated benefits being granted to a few families. To ensure the speedy implementation of the Parivar Pehchan Patra Yojana, the Planning Department established a separate cell in 2024 and signed a contract with a private company. Furthermore, a portal has been developed through the NIC.

Under the proposed Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana in Uttarakhand, a detailed database of families residing in the state will be created and they will be assigned unique family identification numbers. Beneficiary plans for identified families will then be attached to their family IDs, ensuring that beneficiary families receive the correct benefits of government schemes. Furthermore, all schemes will be visible to beneficiary families with a single click. It will also show how many schemes the beneficiaries have already benefited from and how many more they can still benefit from.

Home Secretary Shailesh Bagauli stated that under the Devbhoomi Parivar Yojana, a unique ID will be created for all families living in Uttarakhand. This will map the families receiving government benefits using this ID, preventing duplication. Additionally, government schemes will be easily accessible to those in need. He explained that the state government’s policy is to ensure that 100% of beneficiaries receive benefits from the schemes. This scheme will prove to be very effective in achieving this goal. Home Secretary Shailesh Bagauli stated that under this program, all families living in the state will be registered. This will help identify eligible beneficiaries and deliver the schemes to them.
