Making udid for all the services at this stage will indeed exclude substantial number of beneficiaries from the various schemes of the government. We should strongly advocate for making the process hassle free. As it has been done in the case of. Aadhar card. Else, without enrolling Maxximum. It will do great disservice. For millions of disable, who are still struggling for various IDs.

For your information, it is the NPRD which advocated for a universally valid ID for disabled right at its inception in 2010. It was also at the NPRD's behest that the universal validity of the disability certificate was incorporated into the RPD Act, 2016.
Therefore, the allegation that we are attempting to"stalling" this effort is baseless and malafide. (I am sure, I too will be kicked out of the list now).
But the DEPwD is setting a deadline of April 1, 2023 even while more than half of the disabled population who possess disability certificates have not been issued UDID cards. How can this be accepted?
Secondly, the central government's own departments do not accept the UDID - railways for instance insists that one should procure the card that it is issuing. Every year several cases are highlighted of MBBS aspirants whose UDID cards are rejected and a reverification of their disability done at designated centres. This defeats the very purpose of the UDID.
I am not going into the various issues with the procurement of UDID that people face, that is a different matter.
The NPRD's interest is to see that all disabled are able to get UDID in a hassle free process. When the disability certificate is replaced by the UDID and becomes valid for all purposes, it is natural that it will become mandatory (like the certificate earlier) for availing any scheme.
What we have asked for is the difficulties that people are facing in the procurement of the UDID so that we can take it up with the government. Let me make it loud and clear. We have not and do not intend to stall or oppose the UDID.
All the best sathiyo.
Hi
It is my personal opinion that UDID should be made mandatory for
availing all services for the disabled.It should be the only
identification means for authenticating disability.
Having said this, all the services should be put in place before
the D date and scaling up should be fully factored in. There are
numerous benefits to us through UDID. We should not fall into the
temptation of stalling the effort and rather we should clearly not
join them.
There may be some difficulty for sometime. That always happens
during transition. As what they say, you don't throw the baby with
the bathwater
I am well aware, there is going to be sharp reactions to my line
of thought, however I am convinced UDID is progressive and
disabled friendly and this is the most important thing which can
make huge changes for our benefit.

Dear Muralidharan,
Thank you for taking up these matters. I pray
you meet some success. 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.

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. You may please mail to us by March
20, 2023 evening at nprd...@gmail.com
Muralidharan
General Secretary
NPRD
