Mandatory Aadhaar Biometric Update for Children in Nandyal District
If you're a kid, your Aadhaar card needs a fingerprint and eye scan update at certain ages.
It's like when you get a new school picture, but for your ID.
The government wants to make sure everyone's information is up-to-date.
There's no charge for kids who are 5 or 15 years old.
If you're older than that and miss the free update, there might be a small fee.
The local government is telling schools and parents about this and helping them get it done.
It's important for kids preparing for exams, so their information is correct.
