Who was the first Indian to get the Aadhaar Card? Who handed it over?
New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues Aadhaar cards to the residents of India as identity and address proof. So far, it has issued the Aadhaar card to more than 90 percent of the population of India. The Aadhaar card is an important document not only for adults but also for children as it plays a vital role from school admission to identity verification, accessing government services and subsidies, and financial transactions, online and offline authentication, and streamlining the process of proving one's identity for different needs. But do you know who was the first Indian who was issued the Aadhaar Card? Who got the first Aadhaar card of the country? India's first Aadhaar card was made on 29 September 2010. This card was given to Ranjana Sonawane of Nandurbar district of Maharashtra. Ranjana lived in Tambhali village at that time, which is about 470 kilometers away from Pune. Ranjana Sonawane was given her Aadhaar card during the UPA government. The then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh handed over the card to her. From that day onwards, the work of making Aadhaar cards started in the whole country. When was UIDAI formed? The Aadhaar card was started during the UPA government. In January 2009, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) was formed for this. After this, Aadhaar cards started being made from September 2010. Today, Aadhaar card has become essential for many government schemes, banking, school admission and jobs etc. What are features of Aadhaar? Aadhaar is the world's largest biometric ID system. As of May 2023, more than 99.9% of India's adult population had been issued Aadhaar IDs. It has been described as 'the most sophisticated ID programme in the world'. Considered a proof of residence and not a proof of citizenship, Aadhaar does not itself grant any rights to domicile in India. In June 2017, the Home Ministry clarified that Aadhaar is not a valid identification document for Indians travelling to Nepal, Bhutan or other foreign countries.

Aadhaar news: After how many years do biometrics of children have to be updated on Aadhaar card? The answer is...
New Delhi: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues Aadhaar cards to the residents of India as identity and address proof. So far, it has issued the Aadhaar card to more than 90 percent of the population of India. The Aadhaar card is an important document not only for adults but also for children as it plays a vital role from school admission to identity verification, accessing government services and subsidies, and financial transactions, online and offline authentication, and streamlining the process of proving one's identity for different needs. Why is biometric information of children not taken for Aadhaar card? However, biometric information is not taken in the Aadhaar card of children initially because at a young age, fingerprints and iris scans are not clear. Hence, the Aadhaar card for children is made on the basis of photo and general information in the Aadhaar card of children. But after a certain age, biometrics have to be updated in the Aadhaar card of children. Here, we will tell you complete information about after how many years is it necessary to update the biometrics of children. When should the biometrics of children be updated on Aadhaar card? According to the rules of UIDAI, it is necessary to get the biometrics updated twice in the Aadhaar card of children. The first time when the child turns 5 years old and the second time when the individual turns 15. As per the process, fingerprints and eye scans are taken at the age of 5 years so that the child's Aadhaar record can be updated. After this, biometrics are updated once again at the age of 15 years. If you do not get this update done, then the Aadhaar card might be deactivated and hence, will not be valid in places like school, college, or bank. Therefore, it is necessary to get the biometric updated as soon as the child reaches the age of 15 years. What is the process to update children's Aadhaar? If you also have children in your house and the time has come to get their biometric updated, then you have to visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra. For this, you can book an appointment from the official website of UIDAI. You have to go to the Aadhaar center and fill the update form and the child's fingerprint; eye scan and new photo will be obtained. You will not have to pay any charge for biometric update. You can check the status of your updated report through the UIDAI website.

Slapped with eviction notices, slum residents at R K Puram fear bulldozer action: ‘We have all IDs, still asked to vacate homes'
For the last seven days, women living in unauthorised slums located around the Type 1 quarters in R K Puram's Sector 7 have not gone to work, fearing bulldozers would raze their houses while they are out earning a livelihood. The reason: The deadline, set by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), to vacate their homes ended on Friday. On July 11, the CPWD had pasted notices on their doors stating that they should vacate the houses within seven days, else they would be forcibly evicted. The same notice was sent to the 'unauthorised' residents of the Type 1 quarters, too 'It is to be informed that the Type 1 quarters of Sector 7, R K Puram, which fall under the category of 'damaged quarters', are being unauthorisedly occupied by some persons, and illegal construction has been carried out. Information has been given verbally and in writing several times in the past, but to date, no action has been taken by the parties concerned. It is, therefore, a final warning given to all unauthorised occupants to vacate the respective quarters,' it stated. According to the CPWD, the quarters are dilapidated and can collapse anytime, harming the jhuggi jhopdis that have mushroomed around them. 'Even after multiple warnings, people continue to live in the quarters,' an official said. The official, however, denied that they planned to demolish the jhuggis and the quarters. 'We have just asked them to vacate the place… But nobody has left,' he added. Many slum dwellers, however, have started looking for accommodation elsewhere. 'We left the jhuggi and shifted to the quarters after the notice was issued. Since then, we have been looking for houses… If we don't find any, we will return to Bihar,' said a woman who did not wish to be named. 'They should have issued the notice during the school's summer break. If we change houses now, my daughter will lose out on her academic year,' she added. Mostly located at the centre of the quarters, the jhuggis are home to eight families, said residents. While some of these brick houses have only one room and a kitchen, some also have a hall. The others are double-storey houses with washrooms. All the slum dwellers, as well as those who live in the quarters, mostly hail from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. While they primarily work as construction labourers, some also work as domestic help in nearby homes. 'We were sleeping when the officers pasted the notices… We have all identity proofs — Aadhaar and ration cards, voter ID — still, we were made to leave our jhuggis. I was born here,' said a woman who lives in the slum. 'How can we afford Rs 12,000 as rent when we only earn Rs 15,000 per month? The prices have gone up since the landlords heard that we are looking for rented accommodations.' At the Type 1 quarters, an elderly woman said the contractor she works for had let her stay in one of the quarters. 'I've been staying here since I started working for him. This is a godown where he keeps cement bags,' she added. A few houses ahead, Ganesh (65), who has been staying in the slums with his family of six since 1982, has no idea what to do next. 'Where will I go in this monsoon? They say 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas' but it is 'sabka saath, sabka vinaash'… What happened to the promise of 'Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makan'?' In the run-up to the Delhi polls, 'Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makan' — building houses for slum dwellers at the original location — was a key poll promise of both the BJP and AAP.
