IT ROLL OUT PEHCHAN CARD

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT NECESSITATED PEHCHANFacilitate IPs to establish Identity more easily at Dispensaries, Branch Offices etc through unique Biometric Card

Difficulty faced by IPs when changing employer. A Unique portable number valid for entire country has solved this problem

Biometric details (fingerprints) prevents any scope for misuse/ impersonation

In many cases families of IPs resided elsewhere and it was not possible for them to avail medical treatment. The issue of two Pehchan Cards solved this problem.

The necessity of maintaining huge Medical Record Envelopes in ESI Dispensaries is dispensed off as all medical data can be captured in the Card itself.With a view to enroll 100% IPs , the Pehchan Campaign started in 2009 with massive publicity in mass media, introduction of mobile Vans etc.Setting up of permanent Pehchan Enrollment Camps at all Branch Offices
