UIDAI Aadhaar 5 New Changes: UIDAI The big announcement of 5 new facilities on Aadhaar card, which will now be available by showing your face is a great news for people using Ration Aadhaar card. UIDAI has announced 5 new facilities on the occasion of Aadhaar Day. Common people, farmers and old people will benefit the most from this. Many a times people don't get ration because fingerprints don't match in ration shops. Now this trouble will end. UIDAI has come up with a solution for this.
1. Now show face and not finger and get ration
This is the biggest facility. Many people do not get their fingerprints on the machine. Fingerprints of people working in fields, laborers, old people are rubbed. So fingerprints don't match on e-POS machine and shopkeeper doesn't give ration. Now UIDAI has started face authentication. That means you will get ration just by scanning your face. With your permission, the shopkeeper will take your photo and give you the ration. This will save the trouble of thousands of people. This facility is now gradually starting in all ration shops. UIDAI Aadhaar 5 New Changes:
2. Token will now be available at Aadhaar Center, no need to stand in queue
When you go to Aadhaar center, there is a long queue. You have to stand for hours. Women, old people suffer a lot. Now UIDAI has introduced token system. Once you visit the center you will get a token number. You don't need to stand in queue. Sit on the chair. Once your number is on the screen, jump in and get to work. This will reduce the crowd and speed up the work.
3. It became easy to add Aadhaar even for small companies
Earlier, if a small company or NGO wanted to do Aadhaar verification, it was a long process. Expensive machines used to be bought. Now UIDAI has simplified the rules. Companies that want to do a small amount of Aadhaar checking can now do it directly with the help of AUA and e-KYC agencies. They do not need to set up a separate system. This will greatly benefit small traders and organizations and save costs.
4. SWIK 2.0 Portal Launch
If an organization wanted permission to do Aadhaar work, it had to go through a lot of rounds first. I used to have to go to the office with the documents. Now UIDAI has introduced a new portal called SWIK 2.0. All work will be done online. Institute can submit its application from home. Can upload documents. There is no need to go to the government office. All work will be transparent and fast.
5. The new website will be available in 23 languages
UIDAI is also completely revamping its website. The new website is going to be very modern. There will be screen readers, large fonts, keyboard accessibility for blind people. Most importantly, the website is currently available in 13 languages, but now it will be available in 23 languages. That means you will get all information and forms of Aadhaar in your Marathi language. People from any corner of the country will understand Aadhaar in their own language. Altogether these 5 facilities brought by UIDAI will make it even easier to use Aadhaar. Especially since the problem of ration has been solved, the poor people have got a big relief.
