Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood on Monday inaugurated a special Aadhaar enrolment camp for children at a government school in Janakpuri, marking the launch of such an initiative in the national capital. The camp was set up at Sarvodaya Co-educational Senior Secondary School in Poshangipur, Janakpuri, providing students and parents with a convenient facility to complete Aadhaar registration within school premises.
First Aadhaar Enrolment Facility at Constituency Level
According to the official statement, this is the first time Aadhaar enrolment facilities have been launched at the constituency level in Delhi schools. The initiative is being carried out under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, with a vision to simplify the enrolment process and ensure that every child has access to essential identity documentation.
Speaking at the inauguration, Ashish Sood said:
“This step will save time and also help children get easy access to education and identity-related schemes. With Aadhaar enrolment available at the school level, all students in Delhi will benefit.”
A People-Centric Move for Students and Parents
The launch of Aadhaar enrolment camps inside schools will make the process easier, faster, and more accessible for both parents and students. Many parents present at the event expressed relief that they no longer need to travel to distant enrolment centers and stand in long queues. Teachers also welcomed the initiative, calling it a people-centric move that bridges the gap between administrative services and educational institutions.
Benefits of Aadhaar Enrolment at Schools
The availability of Aadhaar enrolment at government schools is expected to bring multiple benefits:
- Time-saving convenience for parents and children.
- Ensures universal Aadhaar coverage among school-going children in Delhi.
- Facilitates direct access to education-related schemes such as scholarships, midday meals, and digital learning programs.
- Helps in verification and documentation for school admissions, board examinations, and higher studies.
- Strengthens identity security for students from an early age.
Delhi Government’s Vision for Accessible Education
Under the leadership of CM Rekha Gupta and Education Minister Ashish Sood, the Delhi government has been focusing on reforms that bring convenience and inclusivity in education. The Aadhaar enrolment initiative is expected to be rolled out across multiple schools in different constituencies in the coming months.
This step aligns with the broader goal of making education and welfare schemes easily accessible for children, particularly those studying in government schools. With Aadhaar serving as the primary identity document, having enrolment facilities at the school level ensures that no student is left behind due to documentation issues.
The launch of the Aadhaar enrolment camp for children in Janakpuri marks a significant step in making governance services accessible at the grassroots level. By integrating Aadhaar registration with the school system, the Delhi government is ensuring that students receive seamless access to education schemes, scholarships, and identity-based benefits. Parents and teachers have lauded this initiative as a progressive, people-centric move that strengthens both education and identity empowerment in the national capital.
