ANANTNAG, DECEMBER 16:  The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Anantnag, SF. Hamid Monday chaired the District Level Aadhaar Monitoring Committee (DLAMC) meeting to review the progress of Aadhaar saturation in the district and address challenges related to enrollment and updates.

State Project Manager UIDAI J&K gave a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation highlighting the initiatives undertaken to streamline Aadhaar enrollment and updates.

The use of QR code-verified date of birth certificates to prevent rejections during updates was also emphasized during the meeting.

The DC underscored the importance of Aadhaar as a document for accessing government services and benefits. He urged residents, particularly those who have not updated their Aadhaar in over a decade, to update their demographic details, biometrics, and supporting documents.

Parents were advised to ensure their children’s Aadhaar biometric details are updated at the ages of 5 and 15 to keep their Aadhaar active.

The DC directed all departments to work collaboratively and intensify efforts to achieve 100% Aadhaar saturation in the district, with special emphasis on updating Aadhaar for students to align with school records, ensuring seamless application processes for national-level competitive exams.

The DC further instructed the concerned officials to enhance outreach programs and provide adequate resources to facilitate Aadhaar updates for residents.

Meanwhile, the DC highlighted the importance of updated Aadhaar details in promoting ease of living, enhancing access to government services, and ensuring accurate authentication.

Residents were encouraged to actively participate in the ongoing campaign and promptly update their Aadhaar details.
