Students to Fix Family ID Errors in Haryana After School Training

In a smart new plan, Haryana government will teach high school students how to fix mistakes in Family ID cards. Students from classes 9 to 12 in government schools will learn this skill using tablets already provided to them.

The training will make them learn how to use the Family ID website and further make corrections in IDs which includes removing names of people who have died or updating details. Many people find these tasks difficult especially in the villages. 

"This plan helps in two ways," said Education Secretary Anand Mohan Sharan. "Students learn useful tech skills while also solving a big problem. These young people will become digital helpers for their families and neighbors."

Teachers will use projectors during training to make learning easier. They believe students will remember better when they can see the steps clearly.

This idea came after trying it out in two schools in Sangwari and Khol villages of Rewari district. The test worked so well that now the Family ID Authority wants to do it across the state. 

"We saw great results in our trial," said Rajesh Kumar, who heads the Family ID Authority. "Students quickly learned how to make changes and were happy to teach others at home." 

Family ID cards help Haryana residents get government benefits easily, especially for students seeking scholarships. The cards also make it simpler to get important certificates for school admission.

Tech expert Dr. Savita Mehta thinks this is a clever solution: "By getting students involved, the government fixes current problems and also teaches young people digital skills they'll use throughout life."

School officials say this training will fit into normal school activities without disturbing regular classes. The program teaches both tech skills and community service. As Haryana moves toward more digital services, this student-focused program shows a fresh way to combine education with better government services. Other states might want to copy this idea if it succeeds.
