Jaipur students launch AI platform for defence families​

Class 12 students launch VeerSahara, an AI platform simplifying welfare scheme access for ex-servicemen, martyrs' families, praised by Minister Rathore.

"This is a highly commendable initiative by young students who have applied technology with sensitivity and purpose. - Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore"

Jaipur, April 10

In a significant step towards strengthening welfare outreach for defence families, two students of Class 12 in Jaipur launched an AI‑enabled platform to simplify access to welfare schemes for ex‑servicemen, widows, and families of martyrs in the presence of state minister Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore.​

Developed by Kanishk Rungta and Krishaa Rungta, the platform is designed to assist ex‑servicemen, widows, dependents, and families of martyrs in identifying relevant government schemes and accessing application links through a simple, user‑friendly interface.​

Based on user inputs, the app directs beneficiaries to schemes and benefits they may be eligible for. ​

Within a short span of its launch, the platform has received an encouraging response, with over 2,000 families already accessing and benefiting from its services.​

Appreciating the initiative, Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore said the platform addresses a genuine need and highlights the role of technology in public service. ​

He described VeerSahara, the digital platform developed by students, as an innovative and practical solution for the military welfare ecosystem, with the potential to have a broader societal impact.​

"This is a highly commendable initiative by young students who have applied technology with sensitivity and purpose. VeerSahara is uniquely designed, very user‑friendly, and responds to a real need of the hour. It can play an important role in helping defence families access information and benefits with greater ease, dignity, and transparency," he said. ​

The Minister further noted that such a model could be adapted for broader governance use.​

Referring to its intuitive interface and guided access, he suggested that a similar approach be explored for the Industries and Commerce Department of the Rajasthan Government to help citizens, entrepreneurs, and businesses easily navigate government schemes and policies.​

Sharing their motivation, Kanishk Rungta said the idea stemmed from the challenges beneficiaries face in navigating complex systems. ​

"VeerSahara is our effort to simplify access to welfare support and make it more understandable," he said.​

Krishaa Rungta added, "This platform is not just about technology; it is about making access more respectful and accessible for families who have contributed so much to the nation."​

By reducing complexity, improving awareness, and minimising dependence on intermediaries, VeerSahara aims to make welfare access seamless for defence families, showcasing the power of youth‑led innovation for social good.​

As someone whose uncle served in the army, I know how difficult it can be to navigate government paperwork. This platform could be a game-changer for so many families. Hope it gets the support and funding to expand across all states.

Fantastic! This is the kind of innovation we need - solving real problems for real people. 2000 families already is impressive. The minister's point about using this model for other departments is spot on. Simplify everything!

While the intent is absolutely commendable, I hope there is a strong plan for digital literacy support. Not all defence families, especially in rural areas, may be comfortable with an app. Offline help centers should complement this great tech solution.

Jai Hind! This makes me proud. When our youth channel their skills for nation-building, especially for our veer jawans and their families, it shows the true spirit of India. More power to Kanishk and Krishaa!

The name 'VeerSahara' is so apt. It's about providing support to our brave hearts. Reducing dependence on intermediaries is crucial - it cuts corruption and delays. Hope the government adopts and scales this officially.
