FRS Implementation in Karnataka to Curb Fake Beneficiaries

FRS Implementation in Karnataka to Curb Fake Beneficiaries

The government is using a Face Recognition System (FRS) to make sure that only real people get food and help through the ICDS program.

This program gives food and support to pregnant women, new mothers, and young children.

The minister said this system helps to stop fake people from getting benefits.

Karnataka is doing well with this system, and most people are already registered.

Anganwadi workers, who help with the program, are getting new phones to make their work easier and are not required to work on elections.

To keep getting food, people need to connect their phone numbers with their Aadhaar.
