Have you also received any news related to the new form of Aadhar Card? Attention The central government has rejected all such reports outright. The government has clarified that no changes are being made in the design of the Aadhar card. All such news are completely misleading. People have been advised to stay away from these rumours.

For some time, discussions about change in the design of Aadhaar card were going on on social media. It was being claimed that Aadhaar will now be available only in a small format, which will contain only your photograph and a QR code. But now the government has termed all these things as completely misleading. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has clarified the situation by issuing an official statement in this regard. The Ministry has clearly stated that no proposal to convert Aadhaar into a shorter format is under consideration. This information is incorrect.

Government warns against misleading news

The government has given a strict warning on these misleading news. According to the Ministry, from time to time such posts and news keep appearing in which there is talk of ‘new look’ of Aadhaar. In these, claims are often made like there will be changes by the end of the year and only photos and QR codes will remain. This information is completely wrong. No such plan is being considered. People should not believe in such rumors at all. This is important information for the public.

Such fake news is creating unnecessary confusion in the minds of the public. This is creating unnecessary anxiety among people and they may become victims of misinformation. The government has appealed to the citizens to trust only the official channels of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Furthermore, press releases issued by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) should be considered as the only source of authoritative and correct information. It is very important that we access correct information and avoid false propaganda.

The government has also requested media organizations not to promote such unconfirmed information. Such news can mislead the public even unknowingly. Aadhaar card has become India’s largest biometric identification system. It is the most reliable means of identification for millions of people. According to government data, at present there are about 134 crore Aadhaar users. Till now, more than 17,000 crore authentication transactions have been successfully done through Aadhaar. This mechanism managed by UIDAI plays an important role in identity verification for various government and non-government services.

Government appealed to citizens

It is this widespread importance of Aadhaar that makes it a target of rumours. Therefore, the government has once again appealed to the citizens to completely ignore any such misleading posts spreading on social media. Always check official websites or trusted sources for any information related to your identity. Avoid any misinformation and stay safe. Your vigilance is your safety.
