UIDAI has new plans to make Aadhaar enrolment, updation easier

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The UIDAI is mulling allowing Common Service Centres to provide non-biometric assistance for Aadhaar enrolment and updation services, including helping public in filling online forms, according to a government source. Village-level Entrepreneurs or VLEs, who run CSCs, have been asking the government to allow them to restart Aadhaar enrolment and updation services, after UIDAI restricted these centres and private operators from doing so to ensure security and safety of biometric data of 120 crore Aadhaar holders. A person familiar with the ongoing deliberations at the Aadhaar-issuing body said allowing CSCs to carry out public assistance services for filling online Aadhaar forms for enrolment and updation activities, without involving any biometrics, is under consideration. Apart from delivering essential government and public utility services, this flagship rural outreach program also delivers a range of social welfare schemes, financial services, education and skill development courses, healthcare, agriculture services and digital literacy.
