Over 60% kids up to 5 yrs have no Aadhaar
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|August 04, 2025
RIGOROUS Aadhaar enrolment exercises notwithstanding, more than 60 per cent (pc) children up to the age of five years and nine pc in the 5-18 years age band in Odisha do not have a unique identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
On the other hand, Aadhaar enrolment has achieved 111.5 pc among the population aged above 18 years, while the overall registration stood at 102.02 pc.
This ambiguity in data related to the status of Aadhaar enrolment and authentication came to the fore during a recent high-level meeting chaired by chief secretary Manoj Ahuja.
As per data presented by the deputy director general of UIDAI of regional office at Hyderabad, Aadhaar has been generated for 12,73,211 children of the projected population of 32,48,632, aged 0-5 years and 92,62,207 of 1,01,84,021 people, aged 5-18 years.

He turned out to be a Pakistani and hummed a Dilip Kumar-Vyjayanthimala song: \"Teri husn ki kya tareef karun.\" He said he was happy—happier than he had ever been in Pakistan.
