Starting May 2, children born in Haryana will be concurrently Aadhaar-enrolled and their birth certificate issued within seven days.
This measure will not only help monitor delivery of all welfare and health-related benefits to an infant but will also help in tracking the child from birth to immunisation to school admission.
Besides, it will seek to serve as a data-base of children for timely and assured delivery of services, a Haryana Government release said here today.
Inspired by the success of the pilot project launched at Tigaon Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Faridabad district in February-March in coordination with NITI Ayog and UIDAI where more than 3,500 children were Aadhaar-enrolled, the Haryana Government has decided to launch a state-wide programme on May 2.
"It will encompass all PHCs, community health centres (CHCs), urban local bodies (ULBs) and civil hospitals at the district headquarter level," it said.
More than 550 Aadhaar enrollment kits have been put in place for the purpose. Each and every CHC, PHC and MC has been mapped with an enrollment kit and provided with an operator to facilitate registration of birth of an infant along with Aadhaar enrollment.
The kits will be installed every Tuesday in CHCs/PHCs/MCs. The next day-- every Wednesday, the left-out children in Anganwadis under CHC/PHC will be enrolled for Aadhaar.
While enrolling a child of 0-5 years in Aadhar, his/her biometrics is not captured.
Instead, Aadhaar number and biometrics of parents (either father or mother) are linked with child enrollment. Different data bases like Birth and Death Information System (BDIMS), Mother Child Tracking System (MCTS) and Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) can be integrated with into the common thread 'Aadhaar' as a key parameter for maintaining uniqueness, it said.
