The enrolment process of Aadhar card sped up with the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) taking the responsibility to collect data for Aadhar card and smart card. An enrolment centre has been opened at Diamond Jubilee Town Hall.

Three years ago, private companies were assigned to enrol Aadhaar card but more than half of the population was left during the process.

The data is collected as per the National Population Register (NPR). However, those who don’t have their names in NPR, they have to fill up the NPR from available at the centres and then after a week they will be called for collecting the data required for Aadhaar card.

“Government has decided to provide digitised cards instead of only Aadhaar cards. Those who already have a Aadhaar card will also be provided the smart cards. People who will enrol now will get both Aadhaar and digitised cards”, informed Deputy Commissioner Dipti Mahapatra, Nodal Officer for Aadhaar card enrolment, BMC.
