The woman who received the first Aadhar card from India has not yet received any government access scheme. Ranjana Sonawane, a resident of the Aldea de Teshali in the Nandurbar district, Maharashtra, received the Aadhar inaugural Nations card on September 29, 2010. At that time, it was photographed with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi. However, 13 years later, Ranjana has not yet benefited from this identity.
Under Prime Minister Majhi Ladki are Yojana, women have the right to RS 1500 monthly, a scheme for which Ranjana is eligible. The problem lies in its AADHAR number linked to another person’s bank account.
The authorities claim that the funds have been disbursed, but Ranjana has not received money. “They show the documents, but the money does not reach me,” Ranjana said. She believes that her aadhar is connected to another person’s account.
The Ranjana family survives with an annual income of Solo RS 40,000. Her husband sells small toys, while Ranjana works as a daily salary worker. They have three children; One is employed and others are still studying.
Ranjana has made several visits to government offices, including seven trips to the Taluka office only this year, only to receive repeated guarantees that the problem “will be solved soon.” His UMH son has also searched for the bank’s help several times, but after a year, no solution has been found.
According to a Times of India Report, an official of the Women and Child Development Department said that transactions could only stop when receiving a complaint from Ranjana.
Another official suggested that the bank account could be in a joint name, which could have caused the problem of Aadhar’s link. In addition, it is possible that the Anganwadi worker provides an incorrect account number when completing the form.
Ranjana’s case is not unique. Numerous women in the rural and tribal areas of Maharashtra have their criminal funds or lack the necessary information because they do not have a bank account or a mobile number.
The Government has eliminated 15 LAKH from intelligible beneficiaries who received RS rus 225 million rupees. However, there is no specific process to ensure that eligible women, such as Ranjana, receive their legitimate assistance.
Ranjana’s hope now falls to his children instead of with the government. “Now I don’t have much hope of the government. But my children are workers. We somehow manage to live. Even so, there is hope in the heart that one day something good will definitely happen,” he said.
