B. Jayakumar, S. Prabakar · 2025 · International Journal of Computational and Experimental Science and Engineering

Summary. Digital innovations including Aadhaar-linked payments and Direct Benefit Transfers have improved India's rural employment guarantee scheme by streamlining wage disbursement, reducing delays, and enhancing transparency. GIS mapping and data analytics enabled better resource allocation and asset tracking. However, the study identifies critical gaps: digital literacy remains low, infrastructure is inadequate, and data security needs strengthening. These findings show how digital governance can strengthen rural employment programs and poverty reduction.
