Hyderabad: Get your documents ready again. This time for the seeding of the National Population Register database with Aadhaar. Though the Centre launched the project in July 2015, it could not be completed in the state so far.

Enumerators will take up door-to-door verification of the details given by residents during Census 2011 and crosscheck to see if the person still resides at the same address.

In case of any changes between NPR and Aadhaar data, they will update the NPR database on the spot. The NPR database-Aadhaar linkage will be done on the spot if found to be not linked.

Following the request made by Unique Identification Authority of India to speed up NPR-Aadhaar seeding project in state, the state government has constituted an empowered committee chaired by Chief Minister K. Chan-drasekhar Rao besides a state-level UIDAI implementation committee headed by Chief Secretary S.P. Singh to monitor the progress of project every three months.

Official sources said the exercise was not being taken up to determine citizenship as being rumoured in some quarters but to update National Population Register record of the usual residents of the state.

The Centre is taking up this project at a cost of `951 crore in all states, which is virtually a repeat of Census exercise.

The aim is to avoid duplication in collection of biometric details of people in the future.

The exercise will help government to know how many people still do not have an Aadhaar number and are yet to provide their biometrics to either UIDAI or the NPR.

The empowered committee has the ministers of home, finance, panchayat raj and rural development, revenue, consumer affairs and civil supplies, information technology, municipal administration and urban development, the Chief Secretary and Chief Electoral Officer.

The UIDAI implementation committee has the special chief secretary, planning, as vice-chairman and comprises secretaries of home, finance, revenue, Panchayat Raj and rural development, &RD, CAF & CS, IT E&C, chief electoral officer, director of Census operations as members. The deputy director general, UIDAI, will be the member secretary, said sources.
