The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) operationalized a new state-of-the-art Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) at Erode today, further strengthening resident-centric identity services in the district. The facility was inaugurated by Chief Guest Thiru. S. Kandasamy, District Collector and District Magistrate of Erode, alongside officials from UIDAI Regional Office Bengaluru, M/s Protean, and local staff.

Equipped with four operational kits, the Erode ASK offers a single-window facility for new enrolments, demographic and biometric updates, and grievance redressal. The center operates on all days except public holidays and features inclusive infrastructure, including wheelchair accessibility and dedicated support facilities. It will also record resident grievances for resolution via the Regional Office.

With this launch, UIDAI now operates 12 ASKs across Tamil Nadu, with 18 additional centers scheduled to open shortly, bringing the total state footprint to 30 UIDAI-run facilities. Managed daily by M/s Protean eGov Technologies Limited, the center allows residents to pre-book appointments online via the official portal (https://bookappointment.uidai.gov.in).
