Doorstep Aadhaar enrolment: A game changer for inclusive governance

In recent years, India’s ambitious drive towards digital governance has transformed how citizens interact with essential public services.

From accessing government welfare schemes to opening bank accounts and receiving healthcare benefits, a single document—the Aadhaar card—has become the backbone of this transformation. Yet, for millions of Indians, particularly the most vulnerable among us, obtaining or updating this vital identification document remains a challenge.

In this context, the introduction of doorstep Aadhaar enrolment and update services is nothing short of a game changer. This initiative is a reflection of a government that is not only committed to digital empowerment but also deeply mindful of social inclusion.

Consider for a moment the elderly living alone in remote villages, bedridden patients confined to their homes, or children from marginalized communities. For them, visiting an Aadhaar enrolment center is often an impossible task. Physical limitations, lack of transportation, and even simple un-awareness act as barriers, excluding them from fully participating in the country’s digital and economic mainstream. This is where the concept of bringing governance directly to people's doorsteps becomes revolutionary.
