Telangana police recruitment board wins award for Aadhaar-enabled offline verification in recruitment

The Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB) has been honored with the Aadhaar Samvaad 2026 National Award for their innovative implementation of Aadhaar-enabled offline verification in the police recruitment process. Chairman V.V. Srinivasa Rao received the prestigious accolade at the fifth National Stakeholder Conference, Aadhaar Samvaad, held in Kolkata on Tuesday, September 29.

The award acknowledges the board's successful adoption of Aadhaar Face Authentication for candidates applying to become police officers in Telangana. This revolutionary system was first introduced by the TSLPRB, guided by the support of the UIDAI's Hyderabad Regional Office, with the primary objective of thwarting impersonation and enhancing security measures throughout the recruitment process.

Candidates were required to download the Aadhaar App from either Google Play Store or Apple App Store and undergo the Aadhaar Face Authentication while submitting their Part I applications through the TSLPRB website, between August 19 and September 16. The TSLPRB emphasized the importance of adhering to English terms and conditions, ensuring that comments remain respectful, informative, and in full sentences.
