Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana
Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana

The Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana by the Rajasthan Government is the new upgrade on the old Bhamshah card announced by the previous government. This Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana uses the biodata of the card holders to unify the identity of all citizens of the state. The government says that the card will help bring a single identity for an individual and help the authorities to release funds and other benefits to this person. The government will have a database of all the citizens of the state.  

Scheme Overview

  • Scheme Name: Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana 
  • Scheme Modified: 18.12.2019  
  • Scheme Fund Allocated: NA 
  • Type of Government Scheme: State Government of Rajasthan 
  • Sponsored / Sector Scheme: NA 
  • Website to apply: http://janaadhaar.rajasthan.gov.in 
  • Helpline No.: 0141-2921336/2921397, 18001806127

Features of Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana

  • Only permanent residents of Rajasthan are eligible. 
  • The card enables eligibility for more government schemes as and when they are implemented.  
  • The card uses a QR code rather than a chip which was used in the Bhamashah card.  
  • The QR code scanning reveals the bio-data of the cardholder.  
  • The Jan Aadhaar Card will have a new set of numbers, different from what was in the Bhamashah card. The new one will have a 10-digit number unique to the individual.  
  • The Jan Aadhar Card will be linked to the Aadhaar Card.

Benefits of Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana

  • The Jan Aadhaar Card helps the government to identify an individual immediately using the database. 
  • The card also benefits the identification of people of the same family, although each member will have individual cards and numbers.

  • The card details will be available for download as a PDF from the official website and accessed through the app as well.  
  • The government aims to bring more transparency to the procedures regarding various schemes.  
  • This will help reduce corruption at different levels and the beneficiaries will be the sole recipient of the various projects.  
  • Those who have the Bhamashah Cards need not apply for a new Jan Aadhaar Card. They will be sent a fresh Jan Aadhaar Card at the given address.  
  • The families will get a Jan Aadhaar Parivar Pehchan Number as SMS.

Drawbacks of Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana

Only those who are above the age of 18 are eligible for the Jan Aadhaar Card Yojana. The cards are issued for those who have completed 18 so the unification of the identity of the families will still be incomplete.

How to Apply?

  • If you do not have a Bhamashah Card, then you must go to the official website to apply for a Jan Aadhaar Card.  
  • On the website, click on the JAN AADHAAR ENROLLMENT tab. You will be redirected to another portal. 
  • There, you need to log in using your Aadhaar number, name, and mobile number.  
  • Now, fill in the details as needed and submit the form. 
  • Save the enrollment application number which you can use for tracking the card processing status. 
  • Once the processing is complete, they will send the card to you.  
  • You can check the status using any of these formats and send it to 7065051222.  
  • JAN <space> JID <space> <15 characters Jan Aadhaar Enrollment ID> 
  • JAN <space> JID <space> <12 digit UID number> 
  • JAN <space> JID <space> <10 digit mobile number>

Documents Required

You only need your Aadhaar Card and a valid mobile number to apply for the Jan Aadhaar card. Since the card will be linked to your Aadhaar Card, no other documents are required as long as the name and address mentioned in the letter are your present address.

Conclusion

The Unemployment Allowance, Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mill, Kisan Credit Card, EPDS, etc are some of the schemes that the Jan Aadhaar Card enrollment will make simpler. The beneficiaries will get the notifications directly without any middlemen to grab their share. As the citizens and the farmers get their due share, their overall income will also increase. This is exactly what the government aims for. The demographics of the Rajasthan State make it difficult to locate the people. This Jan Aadhaar Card aims to make this process easier and invites all to enrol.

MSP Up, Income Up: Government Lifts Rabi Crops Prices to Support Farmers Prosperity

By

The Indian government has recently announced an increase in the Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for 6 Rabi crops for the 2023-24 Rabi Marketing Season. The increase in MSP is aimed at augmenting the income of farmers.

Overview

For the forthcoming Rabi Marketing Season (RMS) 2023-24, the Indian government has just enhanced the Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for six required Rabi crops. This decision was made by the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP), in consultation with state governments and other relevant departments. The MSP for crops such as wheat, barley, gram, and mustard have been increased, with the goal of increasing farmers incomes. Additionally, the country has seen a significant growth in the export of agriculture and allied commodities, with exports increasing by 53.1% from 32.81 billion USD in 2015-16 to 50.24 billion USD in 2021-22. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has also released a book containing success stories of 75,000 farmers who have more than doubled their income.

The news is primarily benefiting farmers, as the increase in Minimum Support Prices (MSP) is aimed at augmenting their income. The MSP is a price at which the government guarantees to purchase agricultural products from farmers, so by increasing the MSP, farmers will be able to sell their crops at a higher price and potentially earn more income. Additionally, the increase in exports of agri and allied commodities is also beneficial to farmers as it increases the demand for their products and could lead to higher prices. The success stories shared by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) also aims to inspire farmers and possibly benefits them by providing examples of others who have been successful in increasing their income.
