Camps Requested for Rural Women
While the e-KYC process is available online, several women in rural areas face challenges due to limited internet access or lack of digital literacy.
Social workers, self-help groups, and NGOs have requested the government to set up offline e-KYC camps in villages to ensure that every eligible woman continues to receive her rightful benefits under the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana.
