A new column in Aadhar app for disabled?

Although disable people do have a national ID, most people due to lack of knowledge refuse to accept it

GN Bureau | December 28, 2011



A separate column for disabled people in the application of Aadhar cards is the request of association of India disabled (AID) who submitted a petition to Coimbatore collector M Karunagaran on Monday. Although disabled people do have a national identity card, most people due to lack of knowledge about the card refuse to accept it, reported Times of India on Tuesday.

AID president S Ravi said that once the Aadhar card is started to be widely used to access government benefits they too will get access to all the places as this will serve as their identity. He further added that disable people face problems in servies like opening a bank account.

One of the petitioners told TOI, "Aadhar cards will help the state government to identify the number of disabled people in the state."
