The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation's (NMMC) move to approach housing societies for unique identity (UID) card registration has apparently turned out to be a hit amongst residents. After DNA Navi Mumbai published a report about this the NMMC received similar requests from at least 15 housing societies. However, their demands can't be fulfilled at present due to unavailability of required number of machines, the corporation has cleared.
In the wake of rush witnessed at the centres set up for registering residents for the central government's ambitious project, rechristened as AADHAR, the civic body decided to reach out to the societies, located away from any government building and housing over 1,000 individuals, to streamline the process. After its successful execution of the idea at three societies in Nerul, more societies, especially from Vashi and Airoli, have demanded setting up of centres at their premises.
"As present, we are carrying out registrations at three societies in addition to 16 regular centres. Even as we received co-operation from society office-bearers, our pace of registering people has enhanced with more than 1000 people being covered in 10-15 days in a proper manner. Given the response, people from other complexes too have shown interest and want us to form centres at their buildings as well," a senior civic official said, requesting not to be named.
He added that the corporation needs more than 75 sets of machines to fulfill demands from other nodes. "We are trying to manage with the available machines. Once we receive the required sets, it will be easy for us to reach out to more people at their building premises. We hope to streamline the work further at our regular centres as we have three agencies working on the project now," he added.
Amongst the city nodes, Koparkhairane, where the project was launched, and Belapur have registered more number of residents for UID, the civic body has said.
