Student’s Union at the JNU is still not in favour of such type of implementation attributing to useless fatigue to the students.

An official said that this scheme has been separated from the DBT scheme because DBT is distributing subsidy amounts while PF amount is not subsidy benefits.

They are returning empty handed even after waiting for several hours while company staff members are blaming BLO to hide their lapses. Company is running enrollment camps at 4 schools in the city where people reach early in the morning but find only silence at the premises. On Saturday people reached at a government inter college forAadhar card registration but found staff members absent over there. After that Aadhaar enrollment work began at 11 AM at a very slow speed.

The status on the Aadhar card website is asking to wait for few more months as the application is under process.
