KYC SYSTEM INSTEAD OF LIFE CERTIFICATE!
GOVERNMENT should Adapt Digital KYC system instead of life certificate in order to streamline the process of
Digital KYC. The government should now exercise this easy and quick methods so that the public get an accessible mobile number linked to your Aadhaar! There should no need for the public to step out their houses anymore for KYC process. This will be a completely integrated digital KYC journey for all the general public.
At least 80% public will able to operate KYC directly without hassles. With original Aadhaar & PAN card handy, it will be keeping mobile phone linked with Aadhaar database handy to receive and validate OTP and enable camera, location and microphone on laptop/desktop/smart phone before starting digital KYC process.
The public should ensure stable internet connection and mobile network. For selfie and video verification — avoid shadows on face or anything blocking face view, no hats, no dark lenses, or anything that obscures the face to avoid blurry pictures.
The public could complete Aadhaar e-KYC online using your registered mobile number for an OTP or via Aadhaar Paperless Offline e-KYC. Many institutions such as banks and financial firms, integrate with the UIDAI’s online e-KYC service, to allow users to verify their identity electronically by providing their Aadhaar number and entering the OTP sent to their registered mobile. Now, all government departments should follow online e-KYC system, rather than calling people in the government offices, or government officials must visit public houses to complete KYC or verifications to execute the various schemes.
Why? Because government is for the people, of the people, by the people. KYC means Know Your Customers. For government, this system should be KYP, means Know Your People !!!

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR ERADICATION OF POVERTY!
POVERTY is one of the greatest struggles faced by humanity. To be poor means living without basic needs and it is a very hard and painful life.
On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we are reminded that every person deserves dignity, equality and the chance to live without hunger or fear. Poverty is not only about lack of money but also about lack of opportunity, health, and education. Across the world, millions of people sleep without food, children drop out of school to work, and families live without proper homes. Breaking this cycle is a responsibility we all share.
Islam gives a beautiful solution to poverty through the system of Zakat. Zakat is the practice of giving 2.5% of one’s wealth every year to the poor and needy. Its purpose is to balance wealth in society and ensure that no one is left behind.
The Quran reminds us: “The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (his reward) for whom he wills.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)
This verse shows that when we spend for others, blessings multiply in our own lives. It is not a loss, but a great gain both in this world and the hereafter.
If we look beyond religion and simply adopt this principle as human beings, the results would be extraordinary. Imagine if every individual who earns shared just 2.5% of their income to help the poor — hunger would reduce, shelters would rise, and opportunities would open up.
This small percentage is not a burden on the giver, but it becomes a huge blessing for the receiver. It gives hope to widows, education to children, food to hungry families and medical help to the sick.
History shows that when communities practiced zakat sincerely, poverty almost disappeared. It created harmony, justice, and unity.
Today, the world spends billions on luxuries, yet many struggle for a single meal. The solution is simple: sharing what we have.
On this day, let us reflect on our role in society. Let us commit to giving, sharing, and helping in whichever way we can.
Eradicating poverty is not a dream, it is possible. With compassion, fair distribution, and a sense of duty, no one should remain poor in this world.
