Unique Identification
Authority of India has conducted biometric update activities in over 103,000
schools across India.
¨
This initiative involved
schools in various regions of the country.
¨
This helped approximately
12 million students complete their required biometric updates.
¨
This update is mandatory
for children enrolled under Aadhaar.
¨
The Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology provided details about the program.
¨
The ministry stated that
the process was conducted on school campuses.
¨
This arrangement
simplified the update process for students.
¨
Students did not need to
visit Aadhaar enrollment centers.
¨
Currently, approximately 4,000
biometric devices are being used for this purpose.
¨ These machines are helping authorities carry out updates on a large scale.
¨ UIDAI launched this mission-mode biometric update campaign in September last year. This program specifically targets school children.
