Arunachal Pradesh became the second state in the Northeast after Nagaland to launch Aadhaar-linked birth registration.
About:
- It would help in birth registration-based Aadhaar enrolment for children up to the age of 5.
- Aim: To ensure successful implementation of the initiative, so that no child is deprived of the benefits of any social welfare schemes.
- A child would be provided with a blue colored ‘Baal Aadhaar’, which would be visibly distinguishable from other Aadhaar cards.
- Nodal Agency: The Directorate of Economics and Statistics, the registrar for birth and death in the state, is the nodal department for Aadhaar related activities.
