The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Regional Office Chandigarh, has strengthened its service delivery network in Punjab with the operationalisation of new Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) in Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur and Jalandhar.
These newly opened Aadhaar Seva Kendras are aimed at enhancing citizen convenience and ensuring seamless delivery of Aadhaar-related services. Residents can avail a comprehensive range of services including Aadhaar enrolment, updates of demographic details such as name, address and date of birth, as well as biometric updates in a more efficient and hassle-free manner.
With the addition of these centres, UIDAI continues its commitment to improving accessibility and reducing travel time for residents, particularly those from nearby towns and rural areas. The centres are equipped with modern infrastructure, trained staff and streamlined processes to ensure minimal waiting time and a smooth service experience.
The establishment of these ASKs is expected to significantly improve the overall quality of service delivery by creating a standardized and citizen-friendly environment, reducing congestion at existing centres and ensuring faster processing of requests. It will also enhance transparency and reliability in Aadhaar services.
Furthermore, these centres will promote greater inclusion by making Aadhaar services easily accessible to all sections of society, including senior citizens, women and differently abled individuals. The improved ease of access is expected to encourage more residents to keep their Aadhaar details updated, thereby enabling better access to various government and financial services.
UIDAI encourages residents of Punjab to make use of these Aadhaar Seva Kendras for their enrolment and update needs. Citizens are advised to carry valid supporting documents and may also book appointments online for added convenience.
For more information, residents may visit the official UIDAI website or contact their nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
