Re: [AI] Issues with UDID

[Amar Jain]

I would like to help you out to address your concerns. I am a corporate lawyer and have an interface with the authorities you are struggling with. Is there a way we can speak? I am reachable on 9892622230. Thank you.

In India it seems a lot of this is going on: They make something inaccessible to achieve, manditory to achieve. Everybody should have 5 biscuits each from the packet of biscuits, but there is an empty biscuit packet on the table even before the distribution to all the attendees. This is my experience having come to India. Very sad and ironical. Aadhaar for the blind is impossible here in Vrindavana because the agents say the retina scan cannot be bypassed. Without Aadhaar I cannot get UDID either. When I went to buy my home, they refused because a blind person cannot own property. We have to be linked with a sighted person who has Aadhaar so that the property can be registered with the sighted person’s name. I am very hurt by this behaviour in India, and there seems to be no authority in place who really cares to actually do something. Can you please help me? Very pained and frustrated. Sometimes I feel life was better under our former captivity of slave-owners and later the African leadership who hate Indians in Africa. I came to India to become free. How wrong was I? Now having returned home after 4 generations away, I return home only to find we are slaves here to a highly corrupt and disorganized administration. For example, the National number for the Aadhaar Helpdesk is 1947. Guess what! Only problem is it does not exist!!!   Thanks a lot however for doing what you can. Evidently you are fighting a very difficult battle and my heart is with you. May Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra who was the most organized and loved King on Earth, walk with you – no – carry you through this fight.   Yoganathan Khandoo (Yamuna Jivana Dasa) From: Muralidharan Vishwanath Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2023 11:39 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Issues with UDID   March 18, 2023   As all of you are aware, the UDID is being made mandatory from April 1, 2023 for registering for central government schemes.   This even while more than half of the disabled who have certificates, have not been issued UDID or have enrolled but not been issued certificates, or have been unable to enroll for it, due to various issues.   UDID is being made compulsory even when central government’s own ministries/departments viz. railways, for admissions to MBBS, for recruitment in jobs,  or many institutes of higher learning are refusing to accept the validity of the card   The NPRD has written to the DEPwD objecting to the mandatory imposition of the UDID.   It has also raised the issue of the refusal by various departments to accept its validity.   Notwithstanding this, we would like to list before the department, the issues that the disabled are facing with regard to procuring UDID.   One of the main issues that has been identified especially in the rural areas is about non-availability of seva kendras, private centres charging hefty amounts, or they being far away including their inaccessibility. Second issue identified is about card not being issued despite passage of a long time after enrollment.   We are seeking a meeting with the Secretary DEPwD next week. The issues that we are attempting to list will be placed before him.   You are requested to assist us by informing us of the issues that you face.
