Small fixes, big changes for India’s rural poor

In rural India, a seemingly small error in a person’s government paperwork can lead to significant challenges. Krishna Choudhary, a daily laborer in the region of Bihar, had diligently saved money. But when he tried to access it, a name discrepancy caused him immense difficulties.

Krishna’s dilemma began when the name on his bank deposit receipt was different from what appeared on a different ID card. The fear of being unable to claim his hard-earned money loomed large.

Krishna decided to seek help from DIF flagship program Rozgar Dhaba. We helped him correct his name in the ID card, ensuring the details aligned with his other documents.

Our support extended to correcting not just the name but also other vital details, such as his father’s name and date of birth. This comprehensive approach ensured that Krishna’s documentation was accurate and consistent. He had the correct and matching name across all his essential documents.

The impact was profound. Krishna could now confidently access the funds he had saved.

Rozgar Dhaba has helped hundreds of people in rural India rectify errors in their documents, improving their eligibility for government support and simplifying their banking processes. By making small corrections, we’re making big changes.
