Mysuru: The linking of Aadhaar to various welfare schemes announced by both the State and Central Governments will help in monitoring if the benefits had reached the actual beneficiaries, said DC D. Randeep.
He was speaking after inaugurating the one-day workshop Aadhaar registration and Aadhaar seedings for the district-level officers jointly organised by Centre for e-Governance, Bengaluru and District Administration at the DC’s office this morning.
