Why

In India, the central government alone provides 115 major schemes of various kinds to assist people. Add to that the schemes provided by each state government.

But there is a huge population that has not benefitted from those schemes, as evident from huge amounts of funds that go unused.

And with the intent of the government to move towards digitisation, as shown in the case of Cowin, there is a larger population that is going to be deprived of those benefits.

What

Initial Reaction

Positives
Using pictures instead of icons (recognition over recall)
Ability to apply for schemes on behalf of family members

Needs work
Personalised content that tells the user exactly how they will benefit from the scheme
Micro-interactions need work to account for varied user behaviour

Future

The goal was to create an infrastructure that could accommodate any future updates, while upholding the values of equity and accessibility.
