A Tribal Welfare Department is evaluating a policy to transition all social security pension disbursements to a mandatory smartphone-based biometric authentication system in a mountainous, low-connectivity district. Preliminary assessments show that 45% of remote habitations lack reliable cellular data connectivity, and elderly beneficiaries frequently experience biometric failure due to manual labor-worn fingerprints. Which of the following administrative strategies represents the most feasible and balanced policy response to ensure leak-proof yet accessible pension delivery?
- AImmediately halt cash distributions to mandate digital compliance, offering emergency funds only after beneficiaries successfully register biometrics at district headquarter centers.
- Implement a hybrid delivery framework featuring offline-capable micro-ATMs operated by doorstep banking correspondents, backed by alternate verification protocols such as iris scans or local administrative authorization.Cevap
- CBypass statutory verification mechanisms entirely by allowing local village authorities to distribute unrecorded cash pensions based on informal personal identification.
- DPostpone the entire digital welfare reform across the state until full fiber-optic broadband connectivity is established across all remote habitations.
Cevap
Implement a hybrid delivery framework featuring offline-capable micro-ATMs operated by doorstep banking correspondents, backed by alternate verification protocols such as iris scans or local administrative authorization.
The correct response addresses both technical and demographic constraints by introducing offline micro-ATMs for low-connectivity zones and alternative authentication methods (like iris scans or dual administrative signatures) for biometric failures. This preserves accountability while safeguarding access for vulnerable pension recipients.
