MARGAO: The third round of biometric fingerprinting for the preparation of the national population registry (NPR) in order to cover the remainder of the population in South Goa will be taken up shortly.
"The third round of the biometric capture exercise will be completed within 25 days with 20 biometric encryption systems utilized for the purpose. As over 90% of the work is yet to be completed, all taluka mamlatdars have been instructed to give wide publicity of the schedule of camps in villages for the third round of the exercise so that maximum number of residents are enrolled in the NPR," South Goa collector G P Naik told TOI.
Naik had held a meeting of mamlatdars and deputy collectors recently to take stock of the progress of the NPR census exercise, two rounds of which have already been completed.
The actual schedule of the third round of the biometric capture exercise will be worked out in consultation with Bharat Electronics Limited, Bangalore, the firm which will be conducting the exercise.
Information collected for creation of the NPR will be used for generating individual code for citizens under the Unique Identity Cards (UID) scheme of the Union government. Goa is one among few other states selected for the pilot project.
