The ____ is aimed at reducing diversion and removing duplicate or bogus LPG…

Government subsidy and benefit-delivery schemes often add a beneficiary-identification layer that links a benefit to one verified individual or household through a unique ID and a bank account, specifically to stop leakage such as diversion of subsidized goods into the open market and multiple, duplicate, or inactive claims registered against the same connection.

PAHAL (Pratyaksh Hastantarit Labh), also called DBTL (Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG), is the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas scheme built on exactly this model for domestic LPG: a consumer books a cylinder and pays the market price at the point of sale, and the subsidy amount is then credited directly into that consumer's own Aadhaar-linked bank account. Because every subsidy claim is now tied to one verified account per connection, the scheme was designed to curb diversion of subsidized cylinders into commercial or black-market use and to weed out duplicate, bogus, or long-inactive LPG connections that had been drawing subsidy without a genuine consuming household behind them.

• NMEICT (National Mission on Education through ICT): a Ministry of Education initiative that funds ICT infrastructure, digital content, and virtual laboratories to widen access to quality higher education across colleges and universities.

• AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System): a bank-led, interoperable channel that lets a customer complete basic banking transactions -- balance enquiry, cash withdrawal, cash deposit, and fund transfer -- at a banking correspondent using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication instead of a card or PIN.

• NDLM (National Digital Literacy Mission): a training programme aimed at making one member of every eligible household IT-literate, covering basic computer operation, use of the internet and email, and digital transactions.

So the scheme matching the stem's exact focus -- reducing diversion and eliminating duplicate or bogus LPG connections -- is PAHAL (DBTL).
