Prison staff to conduct Aadhar enrollment for inmates

Bengaluru: Central Prison has initiated a plan to have its staff enroll and update Aadhaar for all the undertrails and convicts in the prison
In March this year, the Union Home Ministry mandated that all prisoners should have Aadhaar. Karnataka, however, had begun its efforts much earlier, in 2014.
The central prison has close to 5,000 inmates and a majority of them are yet to get their unique identity numbers.
The prison authorities have decided to setup to ensure Aadhaar enrolment for all inmates.
“We began Aadhaar enrolment in 2014 itself, and completed the process for all inmates then. But since there is regular admission and release of prisoners, it’s a hassle to write to the authorities every time to have kiosks set up. If we have our own unit, we can take up the enrolment as and when required,” said Superintendent of the prison Ramesh P.S.
Two prison staff got trained and have got qualified to take up the Aadhar enrolment,” said Mr. Ramesh.
