Kohima, Aug 31: Nagaland has become the first state in the northeastern region of India to initiate Aadhaar linked birth registration (ALBR) on Thursday.
This pioneering initiative aims to streamline birth registration by integrating it with Aadhaar enrolment for children in the age group of 0 to 5 years.
Nagaland government Commissioner T. Mhabemo Yanthan highlighted the pivotal role of ALBR in registering newborns and ensuring the inclusion of children aged 0 to 5 years.
He urged the cooperation of state government officials to ensure the successful implementation of ALBR across all districts of Nagaland.
The UIDAI’s Regional Office in Guwahati has been working closely with the Office of the Commissioner Nagaland, which serves as the Nodal Department for Aadhaar-related activities in the state.
This initiative is anticipated to enable children’s access to various social welfare schemes designed for their welfare.
Director of UIDAI, Col. Abhishek Koushik, commended the Nagaland government for leading the northeastern region in implementing ALBR.
He lauded the consistent efforts of the Office of the Commissioner, Nagaland, in providing Aadhaar-linked services to the state’s residents.
