Dr. Jitendra Singh Reiterates Commitment to Ease of Life for Pensioners; Calls for Wider Adoption of Digital Pension Services

Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh chaired the 17th All India 'Pension Adalat' in New Delhi, organised by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW). The Adalat took up 897 long-pending cases relating to family pensioners and super-senior pensioners, out of which 756 cases were resolved, achieving a redressal rate of 84.2 percent. Highlighting the government's commitment to 'Ease of Life' and last-mile delivery, the Minister underscored the role of technology-driven and citizen-centric pension services, including digital life certificates, face-recognition mechanisms, and family pension reforms. During the event, publications such as the e-booklet 'Bringing Ease in the Life of Family Pensioners' and flyers on success stories from the 16th Pension Adalat were released.
