"Aadhaar", My Unique Identification

Aadhaar or UID has been a key development in India and everyone has been following it keenly. After about more than an year of planning and development headed by Nandan Nilekani, the Aadhaar registrations have been happening in full swing and according to the latest data available from UID Web Portal. Karnataka is ranked third with slightly more than 30lakhs UID issued. These numbers published on the portal are shocking and surprising at the same time. It’s surprising to see that more than about 3,24,99,718 UIDs have already been issued in a short span of time.

Karnataka is where most of the UID project development took place and such a lack of awareness is not something I could digest. Either it is lack of knowledge or simply laziness. One cannot really complain that the timings are not favorable as the centers are open almost 24hrs for registration. Day time centers opened from 8AM to 8PM and night centers are opened from 10PM to 6AM. You have to walk to the center with the documents (Original) which only required for verification.

Online application for Ration Card @ Bangalore

Now the days are gone when you are struggling for your ration card. When you are running pillar to post to get the card or shelling out a lot to an agent for the same. To get rid of the headache of getting a ration card here in Bangalore we have using private LPG gases. Now the happy days came with few hiccups. Now the happy news is, we can get our ration card by applying online. The government will begin issuing ration cards from Saturday. This time, however, aspirants have to submit their applications online.


Food, civil supplies and consumer affairs minister Shobha Karandlaje on Friday said the new initiative aims at reducing ineligible families, maintaining a database and ensuring transparency. As per the 2011 census, there are 1.37 crore families in the state but the number of card holders is 1.67 crore, clearly showing misuse of cards by vested interests, she pointed out. There were 12 lakh aspirants for new cards.

To weed out bogus card holders, the government stopped issuing new cards and launched a drive to identify illegal card holders. In urban areas, consumers had to submit their RR number (electricity meter number) and in villages, it was linked to property tax. The drive drew flak from consumers. CM DV Sadananda Gowda then stepped in and directed officials to make arrangements to issue new cards.

Those who want to apply for a ration card must visit and apply online. In rural areas, aspirants (who can’t apply online) can visit panchayat or tahsildar offices and pay Rs 10 to apply.
