The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), in collaboration with the Indian Army and the Tamulpur district administration in Assam, has launched a special Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) camp for students. The initiative aims to cover students aged 5-17 years who have not yet completed the mandatory biometric update in their Aadhaar.
The UIDAI Regional Office in Guwahati, along with the Indian Army and Tamulpur District Administration, launched the first MBU camp at Naokata Milan H S School in Tamulpur. Similar camps will be held in various schools across the district to ensure easy accessibility for students. A total of 17,480 students in the Tamulpur district have been identified for the Mandatory Biometric Update.
Under UIDAI guidelines, MBU is mandatory twice during a child's life - at the age of 5 years and again at 15 years. Timely updating of biometrics ensures continued Aadhaar authentication and prevents issues in accessing services where Aadhaar authentication is required. This includes school admissions, entrance examinations, scholarships, and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes.
The UIDAI Regional Office and the Indian Army have appealed to all government and private schools in the district to cooperate for maximum coverage of eligible students and timely completion of the MBU process.
