This paper proposes a way to boost the success of government Schemes for Rural Development using kiosks. In the paper, a<br>solution is discussed that addresses the problem of government schemes not reaching their full potential via awareness among each<br>and everyone, and attempts to resolve it by using kiosk machines, to supply information regarding government schemes. The main<br>purpose is to provide information regarding government schemes to even those rural residents who can barely interact with an<br>electronic device. To do so, a very simple and easily understandable interface has been introduced in the paper. This interface may<br>also provide audio/visual aid. Using this, a person may also get a token, using his/her aadhar card number, to meet with the respective<br>office to proceed for a scheme. In the later versions, feature to transfer a particular page onto the persons mobile phone can also be<br>added.</p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Engineering and Computer Science}, author={Prabha Sreeraj Nair, Tanishk Sharma, Abhineet Anand}, year={2017}, month={Apr.} }
