It was a pleasure meeting Shri Saurabh Vijay, IAS, CEO, UIDAI, and discussing the progress and priorities for further strengthening Aadhaar enrolment, updates and authentication in Assam. With Aadhaar saturation in the State at 96.01%, we discussed the need to close the remaining gaps, particularly in low-saturation districts and among identified communities, while expanding the effective use of Aadhaar for citizen-centric service delivery. Reviewed the functioning of Aadhaar Seva Kendras and the deployment of enrolment kits to strengthen access to Aadhaar services across the State. We also discussed expediting Mandatory Biometric Updates (MBU), with 34.35 lakh updates currently pending. Particular emphasis was placed on school students, with a focus on accelerating Aadhaar enrolment and MBU through mission-mode camps and closer coordination with the Education Department. We also discussed strengthening Aadhaar-enabled DBT under State Government schemes through wider adoption of Aadhaar authentication, helping ensure that benefits reach the intended beneficiaries in a transparent, efficient and timely manner. Emphasised the importance of continued collaboration between UIDAI and the State Government to close the remaining gaps and further strengthen Aadhaar-enabled delivery of services and benefits across Assam. @CMOfficeAssam @UIDAI
