Primus Partners in its new report explores a a family-based repository for social protection and welfare delivery, supported by unique family identities. This is crucial in India due to significant welfare spending (₹13.7 lakh crore in 2023-24) and the need for accurate targeting based on family-level quality-of-life parameters. Such an approach better reflects true socio-economic needs and improves scheme impact, with global examples like Brazil and Haryana demonstrating its effectiveness.
