As per Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the government’s use of technology for benefit transfers to specific groups of people has closed loopholes and assured good governance.

In her Friday NT Rama Rao Memorial Lecture, she stated: “By utilising technology, Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi has stopped the leaky bucket process. There are no leaks, and the required beneficiary receives the funds “.

She stated at the Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management that technology has grown into a significant tool for curbing human stupidity and temptation (GITAM).

According to Sitharaman, “Today, the way we have utilised technology is guaranteeing that benefits reach the general public, one of the goals of good governance has been realised,” according to a news release by GITAM.

The Prime Minister said earlier this month that the government had already given Rs 25 lakh crore through direct benefit transfer (DBT).

“This is hardly a failsafe method, I admit. Ingenuity will have a component where individuals will be able to hack even this, but right now, it is certain that only the rightful owner should receive what is being used without any form of theft. In order to accomplish the goals, good governance entails seeking out the necessary tools ” she explained.

She emphasised the principle “Minimum Government, Maximum Governance,” which states that there should only be a suitable amount of government where it is necessary.

She stated that creating trust among people is essential for effective government.
