Maharashtra is leading in the implementation of the Aadhar project among the states, and has provided unique identification number (UIN) to some 10 lakh people so far.

The scheme was launched in the state in the second week of January this year. Maharashtra is the first state to start the registration simultaneously in 35 districts and 23 municipal corporation areas, officials said here today.

Accordingly, all facilities have been made available to the 3,000 registration centres across the state, to expeditiously complete the entire process.

Ward-level as well as district-level officers who complete the work on time will be rewarded. All the residents of the state will be covered under the scheme in the next one to two years, officials said.
