Chandigarh Launches Digital Welfare Initiatives for Citizens
Imagine the government wants to help people like senior citizens and those with disabilities.
They've made things easier!
Now, 11 different programs are available online.
This means people can apply for help from their homes, without lots of paperwork.
Also, there's a new app where pensioners can prove they're still alive using their face.
Lastly, a special computer is set up where people can quickly learn about these programs.
These changes aim to make getting help from the government faster and easier for everyone.
