Deepak Gupta, Under Secretary, Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) will be visiting Goa from November 10 to 12 in connection with popularisation of DLC (Digital Life Certificate). He will visit North Goa district branches on November 11 and South Goa branches mainly Ponda and Margao Main branch on November 12. The Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) is conducting Nationwide DLC Campaign 3.0 in November 2024 to streamline life certificate submission for pensioners through Face Authentication technology. This method allows pensioners to submit certificates via Aadhaar-based recognition on Android smartphones. In these camps, UIDAI assist pensioners for updation of their Adhaar records, where ever required and also to take care of any technical issues. Previously, pensioners were required to visit Pension Disbursing Authorities, often challenging for elderly individuals. In 2014, DoPPW introduced Digital Life Certificates (Jeevan Pramaan), and in 2021, Face Authentication technology.
