Shri. Pravesh Kumar, Under Secretary, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW), to visit Gudivada in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, on 4th November 2025 to review arrangements for the Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Camp under the ongoing Nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0.

During his visit, Under Secretary, will interact with pensioners availing the Face Authentication and doorstep DLC services and review coordination among Banks, India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), UIDAI, NIC, and local Pensioners’ Welfare Associations to ensure smooth conduct of the camp.

The Nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0, organized by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) from 1st to 30th November 2025, aims to promote digital empowerment and ease of living for pensioners. The campaign encourages the use of Aadhaar-based Face Authentication, enabling pensioners to submit their Life Certificates digitally without biometric devices.

Special focus is being given to super senior and differently-abled pensioners through India Post Payments Bank’s doorstep DLC service. The initiative brings together key stakeholders Banks, UIDAI, MeitY, NIC, CGDA, Railways, and Pensioners’ Associations to enhance digital inclusion and real-time monitoring through the NIC DLC Portal.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, in his Mann Ki Baat and Constitution Day addresses in November 2024, had commended the Digital Life Certificate initiative for simplifying the pension process and improving the lives of senior citizens across the country.
