Till now, 94 per cent of the people is enrolled with Aadhaar in the state.
As Aadhaar seeding is also on for ration cards under the National Food Security Act and beneficiaries of MGNREGA and other schemes, 100 per cent enrolment is most essential, the chief secretary said.
"We are hopeful that in the next three to four months, more people will be enrolled and seeding for the schemes will also increase," Padhi said.
The total enrolment of 94 per cent include about 82 per cent school children and 60 per cent of Anganwadi children.
