The Rajasthan Social Pension app, developed by NIC Rajasthan for the Social Justice and Empowerment Department (SJED), streamlines the implementation of social security pension schemes. These schemes adhere to Article 41 of the Indian Constitution, which mandates state support for citizens facing destitution, old age, sickness, disablement, and other cases of need, within the state's economic capacity.
Introduced in 1995, the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) established a framework for a national policy on social assistance for the poor. The app builds on this foundation, ensuring pension benefits to eligible beneficiaries.

- Simplifies the application process for pensions.

- Allows users to track the status of their pension applications.

The app aims to empower the elderly, disabled, and other vulnerable groups by ensuring they receive the financial support they need.
