HYDERABAD: While the government claims that Shishu Aadhaar helps kids get quick services like health surgery, experts and activists are wondering why should a newborn need an Aadhaar for a surgery.
Common Service Centre Andhra Pradesh, a government of India entity working for providing Digital India services, has been promoting Shishu Aadhaar.
CSC said: “On March 16, staffer Ramana from Amalapuram had done a Shishu Aadhaar enrolment to a four-day-old baby in ICU. The baby was diagnosed with a hole in heart and Aadhaar is mandatory for doing an immediate surgery. ”
