Gandhinagar, Sep 2 (IANS) Residents of Gandhinagar district will now have access to Aadhaar enrolment and update services seven days a week with the inauguration of a new Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) in the Kudasan area, as the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) expands its citizen-facing services in Gujarat.
The new centre, inaugurated on Wednesday by Gandhinagar MLA Alpesh Thakor, is located at Swagat Rain Forest-2, Shops 6, 7 and 8 on the ground floor, near Axis Bank on the Gandhinagar-Koba Highway in Kudasan.
The Aadhaar Seva Kendra will provide a range of services, including Aadhaar enrolment, demographic corrections and biometric updates.
It will also offer free biometric updates for children aged between five and 17 years and provide on-site grievance redressal. The centre has been equipped with modern facilities, including wheelchair access and accessible restrooms.
A dedicated ASK Manager will also be available to oversee service delivery and assist residents.
Residents can pre-book appointments through the UIDAI Appointment Portal, while the locations of Aadhaar Seva Kendras can be accessed through the geo-tagged Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal.
The inauguration was attended by Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Director, SO Ahmedabad, UIDAI Regional Office Mumbai, along with senior officials from UIDAI’s service provider, Protean eGov Technologies.
Speaking at the inauguration, Thakor said the new centre would make Aadhaar-related services faster and more convenient for residents.
“This modern ASK in Gandhinagar will ensure faster, more convenient and transparent Aadhaar services for our residents. It is another milestone in realising the vision of Digital India and expanding our national footprint,” he said.
UIDAI is also organising specialised biometric update camps in schools to facilitate timely updates for children and help maintain their Aadhaar records.
The authority said all Aadhaar Seva Kendras are directly operated by UIDAI through its partners, with uniform service standards, data security measures and grievance-redressal mechanisms in place.
