The Uttar Pradesh government has initiated the registration process on the portal https://familyid.up.gov.in for creating Family IDs under the 'One Family One Identity' scheme to establish a live comprehensive database of family units of the state and to connect at least one member of each family with employment.
All such families, who do not have a ration card and are not covered under the National Food Security Scheme will have to apply for the Family ID. However, for those with ration cards, their existing ration cards will serve as their Family ID. The database collected will be helpful in better management of beneficiary schemes, timely targeting, transparent operation and providing 100% benefit of the scheme to the eligible persons, making the facilities more easily accessible to the general public.
On the basis of the integrated database obtained through Family ID, families deprived of employment can be identified and possible employment opportunities will be made available to them on priority.
Till now 78,000 applications have been received on the portal, out of which 37,000 applications have been approved. According to the action plan made for the family ID, the database of various departments will be linked. In this way, there will be no need to scan and upload the desired records while applying for various government schemes. Aadhaar based e-KYC facility is also available on the Family ID portal.
While reviewing the progress made in the context of Family ID, the chief minister had recently instructed the officials to prepare a family passbook showing full details of the benefits of government schemes received by each family. All the information regarding the family will be duly authenticated before the issuance of passbook and family ID. With this, the campaign of self-reliance and empowerment of every family of the state will be completed.
Presently, 15.06 crore people from 3.61 crore families living in Uttar Pradesh are getting the benefit of the National Food Security Scheme. As per the system of Family ID, the ration card number of these families will be treated as their Family ID.
This portal is developed to provide a 12-digit unique family ID to those families who are not ration card holders. They will be able to add themselves and their family members to avail the benefits of the government's schemes. Families who are not taking advantage of government schemes can also voluntarily obtain Family ID.
