The Unique Identification Authority of India, or UIDAI, which issues the 12-digit Aadhaar number to citizens, has collaborated with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to launch the Bhuvan Aadhaar portal. The new portal will provide information and locations of Aadhaar centres across India to Aadhaar card holders.
UIDAI, in collaboration with ISRO and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has launched the Bhuvan Aadhaar portal, which makes it much easier to find your nearest Aadhaar centre. The portal also allows residents to search for relevant Aadhaar centres by location based on their needs.
In a tweet dated July 15, the Aadhaar-issuing authority said, “UIDAI in its continual efforts to enhance ‘Ease of Living’ for the resident introduces the ‘Bhuvan Aadhaar’ portal facilitating the Geo-Spatial display of Aadhaar centres.”
Ways to locate nearest Aadhaar centre
You can locate your nearest Aadhaar centre in three ways using the Bhuvan Aadhaar portal. These include:
– Search by Aadhaar Seva Kendra
– Search by PIN Code
– State-wise Aadhaar Seva Kendra
