The government of India has made mandatory for everyone to link important details with Aadhaar such as mobile numbers, bank accounts, etc.
CSCs had made 20 crore Aadhaar before it was closed. But many people of the rural area didn’t complete their Aadhaar Authentic service.
Now, CSCs made it easy for these people during this lockdown situation.
They can update their Aadhaar card with help of these 20,000 centres. So, they don’t need to go to Aadhaar centres at bank branches or post offices.
