Around 20,000 CSCs will now be able to offer the service to citizens.

The CSC Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLE) will start the Aadhaar work with responsibility and as per instructions issued by UIDAI in this regard.

This facility will help a large number of rural citizens to get Aadhar services closer to their place of residence.

It would further strengthen the efforts of achieving the goals of “Digital India” as envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The move will act as a big relief during the lockdown restrictions imposed to prevent spread of COVID-19.
