If you missed the enrolment drive for Aadhar card that took place in your neighbourhood, do not worry. Here’s another opportunity to enrol for getting the unique identification number. The Directorate of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu, Chennai, has set up 18 permanent enrolment centres in 13 zones and five unit offices for residents to obtain the card.
The unit offices come under the 15 zones in the city. The Directorate has set up 268 enrolment centres in the State. It also plans to set up 50 permanent enrolment centres in Chennai and 469 in the State . The centres include taluk offices, municipal corporations and municipalities.
M. R. V. Krishna Rao, joint director, Directorate of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu, Chennai, said,
“In Tamil Nadu, an Aadhaar number can be obtained by registering under the National Population Register (NPR) and this is compulsory.”
At present, the centres are in the process of filling the NPR forms and the bio-metric process (capture photographs, iris images and ten finger prints) is going on in full swing.
The general public have to fill up the NPR forms and submit them to the authorities concerned at the centres. “After completion of data entry process work (through filled-in NPR forms), the public will be called for bio-metric process,” Rao said.
Those who have got Aadhaar card through Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) should link their NPR data at the centres. The permanent enrolment centres will provide easy access for the applicants. The Aadhaar card will be delivered at your doorstep by UIDAI through the postal department, he added
