  "summary": "The Western Railway has successfully launched the Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 5.0, a significant move towards improving pensioner welfare. The campaign, which began on October 1st, 2026, was open to pensioners aged 80 and above, while other pensioners could submit their certificates during November 2026. To facilitate this process, Western Railway took a unique approach by conducting doorstep Digital Life Certificate initiatives and organizing special camps. This campaign saw the successful submission of over 100 Digital Life Certificates for pensioners aged 80 and above, a testament to the railway's commitment to pensioner welfare. The initiative was made possible through the active support of various Pensioners' Associations and organisations, which helped in providing contact details and residential addresses of eligible pensioners, and coordinating appointments for doorstep visits and camps. Additionally, the Pension Section staff played a crucial role by personally visiting the residences of senior pensioners, especially those who were bedridden or unable to travel due to age-related limitations, and facilitating the successful generation of their Digital Life Certificates.",
