ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Ehsaas opens an e-portal, “Ehsaas
Digital”, for accessing information and services related to all Ehsaas
programmes and initiatives. Designed to empower and facilitate a
common man, this e-portal is part of the “One Window Ehsaas
initiative”. “The digital e-portal offers Ehsaas specific people centered
information. People are not interested in technical information. They
have questions about how they can benefit from Ehsaas. So, we have
built the Ehsaas Digital e-portal with this in view based on the
questions which we get on social media about various Ehsaas
programs”, said Special Assistant to PM on Poverty Alleviation Senator
Dr. Sania Nishtar in an official statement during the press conference
on Wednesday.
The initiative is a one stop source of information on Ehsaas,
electronically linking public with the right set of information needed to
enroll and benefit from Ehsaas. It integrates Ehsaas benefits and
services for 14 different target groups of our society all including the
extreme poor, orphans, widows, the homeless, the disabled, the
jobless, poor farmers, labourers, the sick who risk medical
impoverishment, the undernourished, students from low-income
backgrounds and poor women and elderly citizens. Specifically
designed instructional programme pages in Urdu allow masses to read
and understand people centred information of myriad Ehsaas
programmes and initiatives:
Ehsaas Kafaalat, Ehsaas Survey, Ehsaas Registration Desks, Ehsaas
Nashonuma, Waseela e Taleem Digital, Ehsaas undergraduate
Scholarship, Ehsaas Interest Free Loan, Ehsaas Bachat Account,
Ehsaas Amdan, Dar-ul-Ehsaas, Ehsaas Panagah, Ehsaas Langar,
Ehsaas Koi Bhooka Na Soye, One Window Ehsaas, Ehsaas Tahafuz and
several others.
Anyone interested to know about Ehsaas can check instructional
details of mainstream Ehsaas programmes through this online portal.
Ehsaas Digital lets people see the salient features, eligibility criteria,
benefits, address listings of programme offices by region along with
helpline numbers for each of the programmes and initiatives. One can
access programme pages by clicking on the relevant programme
button on the main page of this portal. Electronically, the Ehsaas
Digital portal can be accessed at: http://ehsaasdigital.pass.gov.pk/
Part of One Window Ehsaas, the Ehsaas Digital will also strengthen
transparency and communication loops with public– particularly with
Ehsaas beneficiaries. Being able to respond to queries and concerns of
beneficiaries in Urdu, will enable Ehsaas to tailor its social protection
and poverty alleviation response to be more efficient and people
centric.
Further, amid widespread rumors and misinformation by fraudsters in
the name of Ehsaas, promoting an evidence-based communication is
critical to fighting against corruption. This digital information and
services platform will deter corruption and fraud by alerting a common
man with relevant and appropriate information for Ehsaas benefits and
services.
One Window Ehsaas has six main pillars: a one stop shop, the Ehsaas
Center; back office digital interface; a public facing digital information
and services platform; a mobile app; cognitive API architecture—the
integrated database; and the Ehsaas One Window Beneficiary
Selection and Targeting Policy. On June 9, 2021, Prime Minister
opened the first One Window Ehsaas Center in Sitara Market
Islamabad. In this center, all Ehsaas services can be accessed in one
place. Ehsaas will open One Window Ehsaas Centers in every district.
