“Since 2021, when people blessed us to serve them, we’ve been consistently working in the direction of reform, perform and transform. We have initiated several first in the state,” Sarma stated.

The project will be gradually extended to district hospitals to ensure children receive both birth certificates and Aadhaar soon after their birth instead of having to queue for these documents later in life.
