Bangalore Campaign of handing out UID Starts Today
Newly sworn-in chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda will symbolically kick off the Bangalore campaign of handing out unique ID (UID) numbers to 80 lakh Bangaloreans by turning up for enrolment at Yavanika, the State Youth Centre on Nrupathunga Road, on Wednesday morning. Aadhaar enrolment in the IT city will be 24/7 with special focus on institutional enrolment. It will start on a grand scale across 105 centres from Wednesday.
The department of e-governance will target institutions, associations and welfare groups which are big “catchment areas”. “We have already set up stations at the Press Club and at International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore. We have received requests from IISc, MSR Nagar residents’ association, Bosch Group and Senior Citizens Welfare Association, Sahakaranagar, which we plan to take up after August 30,” D S Ravindran, CEO, department of e-governance, said. IndiaPost, one of the registrars under Aadhaar, has already started enrolment at select post offices across the city.
The department of e-governance, the principal registrar for Aadhaar in the state, will take up enrolment at selected BangaloreOne centers, stadia and community halls in the first phase. The number of centres will be doubled by this month-end.

Besides day/night walk-in centres, we will open appointment-based ones for those who don’t wish to wait in the queue. We will set up a 27/7 call centres for UID-related information and all centres will be mapped on Google Earth,” Ravindran said. In the coming months, there will be 1,100 enrolment stations for residents across the city.
