New Delhi, May 2 (KNN) Haqdarshak Empowerment Solutions, a social enterprise which provides access to government welfare schemes to small businesses and individuals, today announced a Yojana card for small businesses and informal workers. 

The first-of-its-kind physical card will help its users discover and access government and private welfare services via assisted or self-service channels. The card aims to get 400 million informal workers and 50 million micro enterprises into the social welfare and financial inclusion net.

The company said the card will create a unique identification code for the user to help solve issues including unintended exclusion, grievance redressal, and documentation gaps while applying for schemes.

Aniket Doegar, CEO & Co-Founder, Haqdarshak said, “The Yojana Card is a single channel for welfare-schemes eligibility and will eventually be linked to a bank. It will be a game-changing product in solving access problems for social protection”.

The card will primarily target low-income families, who earn less than Rs 1,000 per day, especially construction workers, factory workers, sanitation workers, gig economy workers, and street vendors, apart from micro-businesses with an annual turnover of less than Rs 10 lakh.

Haqdarshak’s MSME platform currently helps businesses access over 200 schemes related to funding, subsidies, licensing, and registrations such as Udyam registration, ECLGS, PM SVANidhi, CGTMSE, and more. 

The company said over the next two months, the card will be available at Haqdarshak’s select brick and mortar setups called Yojana Kendras for walk-in services. (KNN Bureau)
