People can soon update their Aadhaar-linked mobile number from any place through postal delivery staffers. Trial runs have already started across Karnataka and a full-fledged launch is imminent. In the next phase, registration of Aadhaar card for children below five years from home will also begin. The move introduced by India Post across the country, has been first adopted by Karnataka.
This is possible due to an application developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India, Child Enrolment Lite Client (CELC). “The postal delivery person will also be equipped with a biometric scanner to take the fingerprints of Aadhaar cardholders for crosschecking. If it tallies, then they will be able to update the phone number using the app in no time,” he said.
The app has already been activated in the phones of postal emploies, they are using it on a trial basis. Trials have been done in Vijayapura and Haveri districts and trails have been successful.l
People live in urban areas do not change mobile numbers frequently,
it is done frequently in rural areas, when offers are given by telecom
companies. “It will, therefore, benefit those in rural areas more. Since the
Aadhaar numbers of the parents of children are already available, staff can do
their registration at the doorstep. This will be done in the next phase.
