The roster of primary schools regarding Aadhaar will be prepared by the District Education Officer (EE) and the roster for Middle, High and Senior Secondary will be prepared by the District Education Officer (SE) of the concerned district," the statement read.

The Department of Food and Civil Supplies will provide 294 Aadhaar kits with manpower for making them. They will visit different places for the said purpose.
