📌 Overview

The AI Government Scheme Accessibility Platform is a full-stack web application designed to help citizens easily discover government schemes they are eligible for. Many individuals miss out on government benefits due to lack of awareness, complex eligibility criteria, and language barriers. This platform addresses these challenges by using an AI-based eligibility engine to provide personalized scheme recommendations.

💡 Inspiration

Despite the availability of numerous government welfare programs, access remains limited due to fragmented information and complex application processes. We were inspired to build a digital assistant that simplifies this process and promotes digital inclusion, particularly for underserved communities such as farmers, students, and small entrepreneurs.

⚙️ How We Built It

We developed a full-stack solution using:

Frontend

React.js Responsive modern UI Form-based eligibility input Scheme recommendation cards

Backend

Node.js with Express REST API for eligibility checking AI rule-based scoring engine

Database

JSON dataset containing scheme details Eligibility criteria Required documents Application links and deadlines 🤖 AI Eligibility Engine Eligibility Score=Age Match + Income Match + Category Match + State Match

Each factor contributes to a weighted score, and the system returns the Top 5 most relevant schemes along with:

Eligibility percentage Required documents Apply links Deadlines 🌟 Key Features AI-Powered Scheme Recommendations Eligibility Score (e.g., 92% Eligible) Multilingual Support (Hindi + English) Voice Assistant (Speech-to-Text & Text-to-Speech) Location-Based Scheme Suggestions Document Checklist Modern Responsive UI 🚧 Challenges Faced Collecting structured government scheme data Designing flexible eligibility logic Implementing multilingual and voice features Creating a simple yet informative user interface

We addressed these challenges by building a custom dataset, implementing weighted scoring, and designing a clean, user-friendly interface.
