BENGALURU: Karnataka has successfully credited Rs 671 crore of input subsidy to about one million farmers hurt by drought using their Aadhaar identity, in the process becoming the first Indian state to do so.

The feat is all the more special as Karnataka is home to the largest number of technology companies in the country, and also to Aadhaar architect Nandan Nilekani, who campaigned and worked for the success of the unique ID programme, betting on its long term benefits to people.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who launched Parihara -- the programme of direct benefit transfer (DBT) to farmers at Vidhana Soudha on Tuesday, said his government’s unique initiative, making wide use of technology, ensures the subsidies reach the targeted individuals.

Nilekani was happy to learn about the programme. “It is wonderful to see an innovative use of Aadhaar and DBT by Karnataka Government to streamline subsidy for farmers and reduce corruption and delays,” he told ET.
