Bokaro: 30,000 Bank Accounts Unlinked with Aadhaar
In Bokaro, India, about 30,000 bank accounts aren't connected to Aadhaar, which is like a special ID.
This makes it hard for people to get money from government programs, called DBT.
The local government is working hard to fix this.
They're setting up special camps where people can update their Aadhaar information.
They want everyone to have an Aadhaar card, especially kids.
They are also focusing on helping certain groups, like the PVTG community and young children.
They are making sure that everyone can get their government money easily.
The government is also working to make sure that they have enough staff trained and ready to help.
Approximately 30,000 bank accounts in Bokaro are not linked with Aadhaar.
This disconnection hinders direct benefit transfer (DBT) for government schemes.
Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav is overseeing efforts to resolve the issue.
Special camps are being organized to facilitate Aadhaar updates and new registrations.
Awareness campaigns are planned for Aadhaar updates, especially for children and specific age groups.
