DC Priyanka Mary Inaugurates special Aadhaar Adalat
Udupi: A special Aadhaar Adalat was held at the Rajatadri, DC Office Manipal here on Tuesday, December 26. The main aim of the special Adalat is to enrol new members and the correction of errors in Aadhaar Cards.
Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Mary Francis inaugurated the Aadhaar Adalat by lighting the lamp along with additional DC Anuradha.
Speaking on the occasion Priyanka Mary said that today we have arranged four special counters at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Auditorium Manipal. Two counters will handle new enrolment and the other two counters will correct errors. Each system can enrol 35 applications per day. The Adalat will continue till December 30. The Union government has made Aadhaar number mandatory for pension schemes and all other government schemes. The public should make use of this Aadhaar Adalat.
The emolument process of Young voters is also underway in the district. The main purpose of the drive is to enrol those in the age group of 18-21. Young voters can enrol in the voter list by submitting Form-6 applications at the Electoral Registration Offices, post offices, Citizen Service Centres apart from applying online. The drive is being held on the directions of the Election Commission of India. New voters will be given cards on National Voters Day.
If an Aadhaar Card is for availing government Schemes,
then why does one need a Voter’s Card. It simply does
not make any sense having so many ID cards in India.
Rightly, there should only be one National Identity Card
for availing any service – private or government, and
there are no substantial benefits that can be expected
from the government, take for example the subsidy on
Cooking Gas Cylinder – how the PM wants every Indian
to forego after emphasizing that Aadhar Card was for
that specific purpose.
