The special camp for issuing Aadhaar cards for 1.4 lakh left-out school students was inaugurated at the Girls’ Higher Secondary School, Erode, by District Collector S. Prabakar on Friday.
Of the 3.6 lakh school students, 1.6 lakh had received their Aadhaar cards and 40,000 had enrolled but were yet to receive their cards.
The 1.4 lakh left-out students will be covered over the next three months in all the 14 blocks simultaneously, at the rate of 40 to 50 students per school per day.
Kits
Twenty out of 50 enrolment kits sought for the purpose by the Election Department have been provided. The remaining kits will be augmented for the exercise in a week’s time, according to official sources.
College students
A similar exercise will be carried out to cover left-out college students too.
