The eKYC process in #PDS has raised some questions around exclusion. Based on PDS data of Barwadih, Jharkhand of the past one year, we tried to understand reasons behind the deletion of ration cards. #DigitalWelfare
Our mem @samalochana writes: Calcutta HC ordered #MGNREGA’s resumption in Bengal, but the Union Govt has moved SC. Legal uncertainty aside, revival will remain hollow without groundwork—trust-building, ABPS fixes, worker reinstatements & stronger systems. shorturl.at/xDfMd
LibTech held sessions with Karnataka's CSO partners (organised by APF) on open data & public data use. Beyond skills, it is about empowering grassroots orgs to demand transparency, strengthen accountability & deepen democracy—values at the heart of LibTech’s RTI-inspired work.
In Latehar (Jharkhand), our team joined a Gram Sabha on forest rights—because at LibTech we value learning how local democracy shapes justice on the ground. The meeting closed with: “Na Lok Sabha, na Vidhan Sabha, sabse bada Gram Sabha." #CommunityRights #LocalDemocracy #Forest
In Akkapalligudem (Janagaon, Telangana), #MGNREGA turns private, uncultivable lands to fertile fields. Farmers now grow paddy — thanks to Panchayat Secy Avinash & villagers’ efforts. LibTech team visits last week to learn. @TelanganaCMO congratulated them! #RuralDevelopment
Our team (@samalochana @KuruvaKvs) with @BKRANTH64301877 shows how Telangana’s 2021 rollback of the #Chenchu Special #MGNREGA erased a lifeline—pushing one of India’s most vulnerable #PVTGs into hardship. Policy without community sensitivity is failure. 🔗 shorturl.at/Yioqn
Infrastructure of Exclusion by @SameetPanda (LibTech) & @SwetaDash93 shows how mandatory e-KYC for ration card is marginalizing the poor. When tech becomes a barrier to food, it’s time to rethink the idea of ‘digital welfare’. @idr_online 🔗 idronline.org/article/rights… #RightToFood
We welcome the AP Govt’s move to provide doorstep ration delivery for elderly (65+) and persons with disabilities. At LibTech, we’ve advocated for continuing this service for the poor, marginalised, and Adivasi communities—where the need is greatest. hindustantimes.com/india-news/and…
The #NMMS app was introduced as a transparency tool for MGNREGS. But the app's “2 photos a day” rule is leaving many rural workers unpaid. Chakradhar Buddha highlights how tech gaps & poor design can turn rights into hurdles. Read 👉 thewire.in/labour/two-pho… @MoRD_GoI
#Aadhaar’s impact on marginalised communities goes far beyond policy—it shapes everyday access to rights, #welfare, and dignity. Our team member @SarkarDevahuti unpacks the ground realities and calls for more inclusive digital governance. Read 👉thewire.in/government/que… @UIDAI
In Simdega, Jharkhand an Anganwadi worker shared with us how Aadhaar-based eKYC in the POSHAN tracker hinders Take Home Ration delivery. Linking #Aadhaar with phone number & new enrolments mean multiple trips to the block office— small tech design choices with big access impacts.
LibTech congratulates Grama Swaraj Abhiyana, Karnataka on successful completion of MGNREGA Mate Training initiative! We're are happy to have contributed in a small way through sessions on digital access. A day-long workshop marks the milestone and charts the way forward. #MGNREGA
LibTech teams from AP, Jharkhand & Karnataka came together for the LibTech Retreat — a space to reflect, align & plan. Rooted in our belief in decentralised, value-driven work, the retreat helps us sharpen strategy, build clarity & stay grounded in our collective purpose.
Empowering citizens through digital tools is at the heart of LibTech’s work. 💻 Our Jharkhand team held a workshop with community leaders and partner organisation Sahbhagi Vikas, focusing on using public data to access rights under #PDS & #MGNREGS. #DigitalEmpowerment #Jharkhand
📢 New Article | One year into Odisha's new govt, how is the Public Distribution System faring? Drawing on field insights & data, LibTech's team members @SameetPanda @manoranjanswain assess the impact on food security & delivery systems. 🔗 downtoearth.org.in/governance/how…
What’s happening in our Anganwadis? As the Union Govt pushes for EKYC, facial recognition & tech-led tracking of take-home rations, we hit the ground. At LibTech, meeting all stakeholders — especially frontline officials — is key. Their voices matter. #DigitalWelfare #Anganwadi
