The Delhi government has initiated work on the Delhi Unified Citizen Data Platform (D-UCDP), a centralised data repository to create a "golden record" for every citizen enrolled under government schemes.
NEW DELHI:
The project aims to eliminate duplication, streamline benefit delivery, and enhance planning through integrated inter-departmental data.
The platform, expected to go live within a year, will assign unique beneficiary numbers, enabling the government to track benefits delivered and verify eligibility for existing schemes and services, officials said.
