Aadhar Card Enrollment Centres in Sakleshpur

The Aadhaar Number is a unique 12 digit identification number that acts as a proof of identity which can be used anywhere across India. Due to its authenticity, the aadhaar card can be used as a proof of address as well. The government of India has made Aadhaar linking mandatory for securing benefits and services including bank accounts, mobile number, LPG subsidy, PAN card, DigiLocker, Mutual Funds, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and so on. In Sakleshpur, there are many Aadhaar card enrollment centres and the same can be located via UIDAI’s portal.

Aadhaar Seva Kendra

The UIDAI has started the first Aadhaar Seva Kendra in Delhi and Vijayawada. It plans to set up 114 such centres across India by the year-end. These Aadhaar Seva Kendras are meant to facilitate enrollment, updation and other activities related to Aadhaar Card. These centres will be owned by UIDAI and will operate in addition to the existing enrollment centres which are currently operational at various banks, government offices and post offices across the country.

The UIDAI is setting up Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) in line with the concept of Passport Seva Kendras and intends to cover over 53 cities across India with an estimated project cost ranging between Rs 300 – Rs 400 crore.

At the moment, the new centres are functioning on a pilot basis. The Delhi centre is located at Akshardham Metro Station premises and can handle close to 1000 enrollment or updation requests per day. It has 16 work stations and will be operational in six days in a week which also includes weekends. The Aadhar Seva Kendra in Delhi will remain closed on Tuesday and public holidays only. It will remain open between 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.

The other one located in Vijayawada is half of that of the Delhi centre. It is located in the Labbipet area opposite to the municipal water tank. The centre can handle up to 500 requests per day and is operational on all the 7 days in a week between 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.

The main advantage of an Aadhar Seva Kendra is the model comes up with an online appointment management system which allows individuals to book a slot as per their convenience.
