Aadhar Card Delivery Will Be made easy
Minister for petroleum and natural gas, M Veerappa Moily, on Saturday stated that steps would be taken to ensure the speedy delivery of Aadhar cards to people by ironing out the present inconveniences.
Speaking after inaugurating the ‘Direct benefit transfer for LPG consumers scheme’ at Tumkur, Moily explained that the Aadhar cards have been provided to 89 lakh people.
“In a span of another year, all the drawbacks in the distribution of Aadhar cards will be set right and steps will be taken for its smooth distribution as central schemes including this one (the LPG scheme) are linked to Aadhar cards,” he said.
Stating that it gave him immense pleasure to inaugurate the direct subsidy transfer scheme for LPG consumers in 18 districts, Moily said about 70 crore people have got the LPG connections among the total population of 129 crore people in the country.
For the rest 40% of the population, steps would be initiated by the central government, with the coordination of the state governments, he added.
The Union minister stated that the laying of gas pipelines between Ratnagiri to Bangalore, Cochin to Bangalore and Chitradurga to Mangalore will be completed soon. He also underlined that the projects of gas-based power plants in Bidadi and Yelahanka will be accelerated by procuring adequate funds from the central government.
Moily further claimed that if the scheme reaches 60% of the people, it will be considered a successful venture.
“Practically it is not possible to reach out to 100 % of the population. After the projects take off, more number of beneficiaries will come forward to avail the benefits,” he added.
Meanwhile, chief minister Siddaramaiah was taken to task by local MP G Basavaraju for not publishing his name on the invitation card. Basavaraju strongly objected the negligent attitude of the administration on the dais and the CM sorted the issue by apologising to him.
Minister for law and parliamentary affairs, TB Jayachandra, minister for food and civil supplies, Dinesh Gundurao, and UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani were present at the event.
