Kalaburagi, Nov 10: In a bizarre incident that has come to light in the district, a woman is trying to get her Aadhar card since 12 years. This woman in question, a 30-year-old, has applied 12 times till date for the card. In addition, she has given finger print and photo also.
Because of not able to get the Aadhar card, this woman did not get the benefit given by the government under various schemes. When the authorities finally traced why the woman is not getting her Aadhar card, they were in for a surprise. She used to give fingerprints for her son’s Aadhar card instead of her own.
The woman who created hassles for herself in this manner is Eeramma, resident of Ravoor village of Chittapur taluk of the district. From 2008, Eeramma has continuously done fingerprint scanning, eye scanning and photograph. However, her Aadhar card is not getting generated. Eeramma says that so far she has spent nearly Rs 10,000 for this purpose but not got her card yet.
Jagadish Poojary, brother of Eeramma requested the authorities to look into the matter of his sister not getting the Aadhar card. Because of non-availability of the card, she is not able to get any benefits announced by the government under various schemes.
The reason for her delay in getting Aadhar card came to light only when she met Aadhar registration officers at the Mini Vidhana Soudha of the district after her repeated attempts to get the same at Wadi and Chittapur Aadhar registration centres failed. Eeramma gave her fingerprints during the registration of her son Bheemashankar's card in 2008, which has caused the blunder.
Though Eeramma tried several times since 2008, her attempt got rejected for technical reasons. On the contrary, her son Bheemashankar has got two different Aadhar cards, one on his own fingerprint and other on his mother's fingerprints.
Senior officers of Aadhar card registration department, clarified all these points. They have also assured that this will be rectified but it needs a lot of time.
