Now Earn While Doing Data Entry Work on Government Website

BENGALURU: India is not far behind in digitizing Government documents but yet its miles away from completely making the official documents fully digitized. Now the time has come, where people can earn while working as a freelancer by just scanning Government documents and making them digitized. All you have to do is visit www.digitalindia.gov.in and register as a user, according to rediff.com.

This programme is developed only to eliminate false entries which already exist in the system but entries made by the new users also are thoroughly checked. If a user makes an entry, that word or phrase will be sent to two randomly selected registered users where each one of them will be required to digitize the word and if the two entries match, it will be assumed that what has been keyed in is correct. In case of a mismatch, it will be sent to a third person.

Through this process, we will end up in accurately digitizing the content without compromising on the aspect of confidentiality. Here, all registered users have to submit their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts for verification. The Government is providing 2 paise for every character digitized by the users. A user may think that 2 paise is much, but if a person with decent typing speed is able to digitize 100 to 150 characters in a minute, then he can earn 240 – 360 for two hours of work.

Just within a few days of its launch, nearly 2,000 users have signed up for the initiative and these numbers are expected to grow exponentially in the coming days. The government is set to advertise the programme through mass media to raise its awareness. A mobile app, too, has been developed to help people take part in Digital India programmes and the mobile app is currently available in the Android version.
