Aadhaar enrolment initiative for media persons

Guwahati: City based journalists will get an opportunity to enroll their names in Aadhaar at the city centre adjacent to Guwahati Press Club for five days starting from the first day of 2019 thanks to the initiative of Kamrup (Metro) district administration. Interested media families may arrive at the centre (office of the assistant director of Handloom & Textiles, Ambari, GN Bordoloi Path, Guwahati- 781001) during the office hours (11 am to 5 pm on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 January
2019) for enrolling their names in the unique identification number process.
It may be noted that the Union Government has proposed this unique identification number for the citizens of India that would act as an identity. Aadhaar has a 12-digit identification number that is allotted to the Indian citizens, which is unique to the holder.
For getting enrolled to Aadhaar, individuals need to visit the prescribed centre, where biometrics and demographic details are captured from the individuals after they fill the enrolment form along with their proof of identity and address documents.
The participants are requested to carry their PAN or any government ID cards, ration cards, driving licenses, passports, electricity-water-landline telephone bills for the last three months.
The press club has offered thanks in advance to Kamrup (metro) District Magistrate VK Mittal, Additional DC Gunajeet Kashyap, Public Relation Officer Ratan Saud for the initiative and hoped that the media families would come forward to take advantages of the exclusive arrangements.
