PANGIN, May 1:An urgent coordination meeting with all Admin Officers-Cum-Enrolment Agencies of Siang District was convened by the DC-Cum-District Registrar, Rahul Singh on Monday to get detailed first-hand information on the status of ongoing Aadhar/Biometric Enrolment coverage as part of the state wide enrolment programme.

The DC-cum-Registrar while specifically emphasising on the inclusion of child enrolment of age group 0-5 years and old age groups for achieving the target of cent percent coverage, directed all Enrolment Agencies to sensitise and encourage the general public to come forth, as possessing an Aadhar Card enables easy access for availing various child related government benefits such as immunization, other children health benefit schemes, school admission and scholarships, old-age pension etc apart from availing various government welfare schemes.

He also instructed to collaborate related activities under one umbrella like linking of Aadhar number to bank accounts, awareness on generation of e-Aadhar, opening of new bank accounts etc in these camps.

Apart from distribution of publicity materials and banners to all circles, Dr. Rani Mibang,  CO i/c District Statistics Officer gave a detailed presentation on the status of the ongoing enrolment exercise in the district which has been initiated since February last in all the nine administrative circles. Despite major hurdles like inaccessible roads, connectivity issues, existence of a good number of non-electrified villages in the new district, manpower crunch posing challenges in smooth enrolment,  efforts are underway to sensitise and achieve cent percent coverage in a time bound manner.
