1,200 UDID cards made, digitised in Katihar district

KATIHAR: The work on preparation of unique disability ID (UDID) cards and their digitization, which had slowed down amid the Covid-19 pandemic, has once again picked up the pace in Katihar district.
With this, over 1,200 people have availed the benefits of the Unique ID for Persons with Disabilities project so far.
According to Rajeev Ranjan, assistant director, social security, Katihar is at the 12th position in Bihar in terms of the work being done related to the Unique ID for Persons with Disabilities project.
“Disabled people can upload their applications to swavlamban.org or visit common service centres for getting themselves registered. They may also go to the office of the civil surgeon or the social security cell along with their disability certificates, Aadhaar cards and two photographs,” Rajeev told this reporter, adding that ‘vikas mitras’ would identify the beneficiaries at the block level.
