Unique Identification Authority of India -UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani today said the authority targeted an enrolment of 40 crore people for Adhaar Cards in next few years in the country. Addressing a press conference after a high-level meeting with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy to review the progress of the project in Hyderabad, he said the whole country will be covered in a reasonable time.

Stating that the UIDAI has been working very closely with the Registrar General of India in this regard, he said the National Population Registry will also do enrollment of population. He further said Permanent Update Centers will be set up for carrying out corrections in Aadhaar Cards.
