Few months ago, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) had rolled out a new portal, Aadhaar Good Governance Portal to ease the process of Aadhaar authentication request approvals.

The new portal would help the government in making the whole Aadhaar process easier and convenient. It will also ease the process to make it more inclusive. The portal would expedite the submission and approval of authentication requests making the process more efficient and accessible.

With the implementation of this facility, Aadhaar card users would be able to share their Aadhaar card. Apart from formulating a safer method for Aadhaar details transmission, UIDAI is also working with various players like security agencies, hotels, for covering entities that are not mandated to use Aadhaar. Additionally, attempts are underway to collaborate with CBSE and other boards for biometric and other data updation of children.
