The Haryana government has fixed October 31 as the deadline for completion of enrolment for 'Aadhaar' cards in the state and asked six district commissioners to complete the process in time-bound manner.
This was disclosed by Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue), Haryana Krishan Mohan and Deputy Director General of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Keshni Anand Arora in a meeting organised here today.
Arora directed the deputy commissioners of six districts- Gurgaon, Mewat, Faridabad, Palwal, Rewari and Mehendergarh of Gurgaon division, who participated in the meeting, to expedite the work of Aadhaar enrolment and fixed Oct 31 as the deadline.
"The state government is giving priority to preparation of Aadhaar, so that it can be linked to various government sponsored welfare schemes.
"It has become very crucial so the DCs need to identify pockets where there is gap in the enrolment or where the enrolment agencies have not reached till now. Those pockets need to be catered to and enrolment be done there on drive basis," she said.
Arora said that till the original Aadhaar card is received, the people can take benefit of 'e-Aadhaar' which can be generated at the permanent enrolment centres.
The facility of e-Aadhaar and updation of information in Aadhaar card can be availed by payment of Rs 10 and Rs 15 at local level itself, the UIDAI official added.
