In a first-of-its-kind measure, the Karnataka government is planning to introduce face recognition as another method of authentication to recognise beneficiaries of PDS ration or pension, with officials hoping that the new tool will help in weeding out fake beneficiaries.\nRajeev Chawla, Additional Chief Secretary, DPAR (e-Governance), said the new system was planned to help monthly pensioners as well as those who get ration under PDS to secure services without any hiccups while tackling the scourge of fake beneficiaries.\nOfficials said 66.4 lakh people in Karnataka get pension under different schemes while the total number of PDS beneficiaries, including those above poverty line, is pegged at about 4 crore.\nThe pilot project involving the face recognition system in Mandya involved about 100 farmers, women and old-age pension beneficiaries.\nWe hope the facial recognition will be a win-win situation for the people as well as the department,\" an official said.
