Aadhaar scheme aims at providing a unique identification number to all Indians. The pilot programme in Mysore is coming to a close, but nearly half the population is yet to approach an Aadhaar centre. It is not possible for the aged, the infirm and the physically challenged to go to Aadhaar centres and wait. It is also not easy or convenient for many housewives or students either. This is one of the major reasons for the deficient enrollment.
If a significant portion of the population does not get Aadhaar cards, the very purpose of the scheme will be defeated. Therefore the administration must do everything in its power to enable all people to enroll for the UID card. It may consider mobile centres which will go around in the city bringing the service to the very doorstep of the public. Such a move will undoubtedly give a big boost to Aadhaar enrollment.
