Aadhaar centre opens at Ringol in Alirajpur, easing access for villages on Gujarat border

An Aadhaar centre has started functioning in Ringol gram panchayat in Chandrashekhar Azad Nagar block of Alirajpur district. The village borders Gujarat. People in surrounding villages will no longer have to travel far to get an Aadhaar card made or corrected.

On Thursday, SDM Deepika Patidar inaugurated the centre by cutting a ribbon. A puja was then performed and Aadhaar services began. Tehsildar Dinesh Vyas, gram panchayat sarpanch Mahesh Bhuriya and local residents were present. The programme was conducted by Guddu Bhaiya.

Until now, people in Ringol and nearby villages had to travel far for corrections to the name, address and date of birth on their Aadhaar cards, and for other work. It cost them time and also bus fare. Elderly people, women and children also faced difficulty.

The centre has started through the efforts of SDM Deepika Patidar, the district administration and sarpanch Mahesh Bhuriya. Villagers thanked the administration and the panchayat. They said government facilities need to reach more of the areas along the border.

With the centre now open, people will be able to get these services in their own area. It will also be easier to avail of government schemes and complete document-related procedures. The facility that has started in Ringol will prove useful for nearby villages as well.
