Beneficiary verification for government and welfare programmes
Programmes lose money when benefits go to the wrong person or a unit that does not exist. Praman lets a department or implementing agency verify beneficiaries and field units on a recorded video call, with location, time and photos saved to each case.

Questions
Can a beneficiary be verified without a visit?
Yes, for many cases. The beneficiary or a family member joins a video call from a WhatsApp link, and the record shows location and time.
Can field surveys be run at scale?
Yes. Upload the list and each person gets a link. Answers and photos are collected into one dashboard.
Is the data kept separate for each department?
Yes. Each client sees only its own cases, and every action is logged.
