As on date, nine states
including Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, have crossed 90
percent Aadhaar coverage, while sixteen states have Aadhaar coverage of over 70
percent. UIDAI is also conducting Aadhaar enrollments in the newly
assigned states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand and Chhattisgarh, at a
fast pace. These four states with a combined population of about 34 crore, were
added earlier this year to UIDAI’s mandate by the government. Till date,
Aadhaar numbers have been issued to 8.93 crore residents in these states, which
is 26% of the target population.
Over 25,000
Aadhaar enrollment kits are operational across the country, including
both camp mode and Permanent Enrollment Centres, with a total
output of approximately 10 lakh enrollments per day. UIDAI has
already geared up its processing capabilities to achieve the targets and
has the capacity to process around 15 lakh enrollment packets every
day. Enrollments are expected to pick up further once the
festival season is over.
