Digital Empowerment Foundation, DEF

I am Abadul Karam. In our community in Meethe ka Tala village, near the Pakistan border, we face numerous challenges due to the lack of basic facilities like education, hospitals, and network connectivity. However, through our efforts, we’ve brought about a unique intervention. Initially, many were unaware of pension schemes and how to benefit from them. With the help of informational programs and digital tools, we initiated the pension scheme locally, aiding people in accessing their entitlements without having to travel long distances. Additionally, during demonetization and subsequent lockdowns, our team facilitated various services, benefiting around 3500 individuals in different fields.
