A Kiosk to Provide Information on Government Schemes to Rural Population and Other Services

Abstract

This paper proposes the implementation of a multi-lingual smart kiosk in rural areas of the nation to serve as endpoints for delivery of government schemes and scholarships for children. Kiosk enables the users to view the government schemes announced and particularly to which they are eligible in terms of profession, reservations etc. It also provides a job portal in the localized area for daily wage labourers and agricultural crop demands. The user views the schemes available can proceed to apply, the Aadhaar data would be fetched from the server and necessary documents can be soft scanned and uploaded as an image to relevant department servers. The User details are transmitted to the server, where an approver is allotted to that particular application and he manually approves or rejects the documents based on the documents and data available. A very intuitive interface and visual aid has been developed.
