UP steps up pace to complete Aadhaar card project

Uttar Pradesh government has fixed March 31, 2016 as the deadline to complete 90 percent of the Aadhaar card work, an official said on Tuesday.

UP Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan has asked district magistrates to ensure early completion of the Aadhar card project.

He said that enrolment of children up to five years of age should be done through tablets in Anganwadi centres and those above five years should be covered in teaching institutions.

Aadhaar cards of 12 crore out of 20 crore population of the state have already been made.
