New Delhi: Aadhar can be updated from Common Service Centres (CSCs). This will be a major relief to those living in rural areas that have low internet facility.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has allowed Common Service Centres (CSCs), that operate as banking correspondents to offer the Aadhaar update facility.
Union Minister for Electronics and Information and Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said it in a tweet.
The Union Minister said that around 20,000 CSCs will now be able to offer this service to citizens. He urged the CSCs to start the Aadhaar work with responsibility and as per instructions issued by UIDAI in this regard. This facility will help a large number of rural citizens to get Aadhaar services closer to their place of residence, he added.
Thanking the Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for getting Aadhaar update work restarted through CSC, CEO Dr. Dinesh Tyagi said it would further strengthen the efforts of achieving the goals of “Digital India” as envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. June is the deadline for the commencement of the work after CSCs with banking facilities upgrade their required infrastructure and get other necessary approvals.
