In a landmark step toward enhancing transparency and efficiency in government schemes, the PMeDRIVE Face Recognition System, the first of its kind in a Government of India initiative, has been unveiled. This cutting-edge technology leverages a simple Android smartphone to perform Aadhaar face eKYC, enabling accurate beneficiary identification and seamless subsidy disbursement for the purchase of electric vehicles (EVs).
The system's ability to recognize individuals using a standard mobile camera eliminates the need for complex hardware, making it both cost-effective and user-friendly. This innovation aligns with the government’s commitment to fostering digital transformation across public services.
Speaking on the occasion, the Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries, lauded NIC for its pioneering contributions to digital innovation, stating that the PMeDRIVE Face Recognition System sets a new benchmark for leveraging technology in governance.
By ensuring accurate identification of beneficiaries, the PMeDRIVE system eliminates discrepancies and speeds up the process of subsidy disbursement under the electric vehicle purchase scheme. This initiative not only promotes the adoption of EVs but also exemplifies the government's vision of integrating technology to achieve a sustainable and efficient future.
With this groundbreaking development, the Ministry of Heavy Industries, in collaboration with NIC, reaffirms its commitment to empowering citizens through innovative and transparent digital solutions.
