Alankit starts Aadhaar enrolment for unorganiSed workers, tea garden workers in Assam

Alankit will be opening up approximately 1000 Aadhaar enrolment centers to reach out to the maximum population across the state of Assam.  The enrolment exercise would go a long way in helping the workers become beneficiaries of various welfare initiatives and schemes of the government.

Alankit as a key partner of the Assam government on this project will ensure data quality check of daily enrolments and updates. Under the project, Alankit has established exclusive Data Quality Audit centers with secure data connectivity with the UIDAI systems and deployed its work force to undertake the audit services.

The data quality audit would include validation of the decision taken by quality check operators against the UIDAI guidelines. Validation and quality check on data would include resident details like demographics, photographs, and documents such as ‘proof of Identity’, ‘proof of residence’, ‘proof of date of birth’ & ‘proof of relationship’, as per existing UIDAI guidelines.
