Abstract	The government creates welfare schemes to help people who're poor and need assistance but sometimes the system does not work as it should. There are problems like corruption delays in giving out money choosing the wrong people to help and not watching what is happening closely enough. This means the people who are supposed to get help may not get it and the whole point of the welfare scheme is lost. So we need a way to give out subsidies that's fair and safe. To fix these problems this project suggests using a system based on blockchain to give out subsidies. This system uses something called Ethereum contracts to manage the subsidy process. These smart contracts work based on rules that are set ahead of time so the money is transferred without anyone getting in the way. This means there are people in the middle who can cause problems and it reduces the chance of mistakes or people taking money they should not have. The information about the people getting subsidies is stored in a place using something called IPFS, which keeps the data from being changed. Every time a subsidy is given out it is recorded on the blockchain so it cannot be changed or erased. This makes the system more trustworthy and easier to check. The project also includes checking peoples identities and making sure they are eligible for the subsidy. Only people who really qualify get the help. This helps government officials and citizens see how the process is working and makes everyone more accountable. When we tested the system it worked better than the way of giving out subsidies. It stopped a lot of activities made everything more transparent and got the subsidies to people faster. Since the blockchain is not controlled by one person or group the system is more reliable.Overall this project gives us a way to make welfare schemes work better. It can be used for things like giving out food helping farmers and giving people cash directly making the process of giving out subsidies more efficient and reliable. The welfare schemes can really help people who need it. This system can make sure that happens. The government welfare schemes and the subsidy distribution system can work together to make a difference, in peoples lives.
