GIS-Enabled Entitlement Tracking System (GEET)

One of the many challenges faced by vulnerable and poor communities is availing the benefits of scores of social welfare programmes run by both Central and State Governments. In the absence of proper information, or clarity regarding eligibility, a large section of the population, especially tribal communities based in rural and remote areas, are literally 'left out'.

GIS Enabled Entitlement Tracking (GEET) System, a joint initiative of United Nations Development Programme and Ministry of Tribal Affairs creates awareness and facilitate connecting beneficiaries with their eligible social entitlements while allowing administrators and scheme implementing agencies to track and review their outreach and response.

GEET helps map individuals and households to the social security benefits they are entitled to, across Central and State schemes and programmes, on a single platform. It offers an interactive platform where the user can search for eligible schemes and look for customized information based on his/her socio-economic parameters. On one hand, GEET connects the beneficiaries to their eligible schemes and on the other hand, it acts as a centralized portal for the implementing agencies to monitor the progress and coverage of various schemes across different parts of the country.
