Meghalaya Honoured with Two UIDAI Awards for Excellence in Aadhaar Implementation
Meghalaya was recognized by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) as the best-performing state in two categories: mandatory biometric updates of children and verification of adult Aadhaar enrolment. The awards were presented on April 8, 2025, in New Delhi, with Shai Kupar War, Aadhaar nodal officer from the General Administration Department, receiving them on behalf of the state. This recognition highlights Meghalaya’s commitment to effective Aadhaar rollout, even amidst resistance from protest groups like the Awaken India Movement, which questions the necessity of mandatory Aadhaar linkage for accessing welfare benefits.
