Aadhaar (UIDAI) News & Updates

There are millions in JK & the Northeast who are yet to get aadhaar ! The process started very late here and just when it was picking up speed the Centre wound up the enrollment centers in 2016. Has restarted in late summer last year, but will take years to complete with skeletal staff deployed.

Add to that the millions across the nation who dont want to enroll for aadhaar and have therefore had their ration cards rendered useless (‘fake’ as the State would call it).

The number will easily cross 3 crore.

That article used the 11 billion figure to talk about transfers from five schemes, and talked only about the value of the transfers. Therefore, the World Bank claim stands discredited.
