Problem Statement
📢

Awareness Gap

Hundreds of schemes go unclaimed because eligible citizens do not know they qualify, especially at the grassroots level.

🧩

Complexity Barrier

Eligibility criteria are scattered across portals, documents, departments, and languages, making the process hard to navigate.

🎯

Lost Entitlements

Benefits remain unused every year, failing farmers, students, women, elderly people, BPL families, and SC/ST communities.

Our Solution

Profile-Based Scheme Matching

Government Scheme Finder takes a citizen's profile and uses an AI eligibility engine to match them with relevant central and state government schemes, then explains how to apply.

1

Enter Profile

Age, income, category, state, occupation, and other basic eligibility fields are captured.

2

Get Matched

The AI eligibility engine suggests schemes that fit the citizen's profile.

3

Apply with Guidance

Documents, application links, deadlines, and next steps are provided clearly.
