Lost your Aadhar card? Here’s how you can download it without enrollment ID

The government consistently changes rules to ensure the safety and convenience of citizens. One such big change was made in the year 2009 by introduction of ‘Aadhar card scheme’, which has increased the use of Aadhar card in the country.

Nowadays, Aadhaar is used almost everywhere. Due to its increasing need, the government has started issuing blue Aadhar cards for children as well. The Aadhar card is issued to students by UIDAI.

Aadhar card is required everywhere from buying jewelry to traveling on a flight, from school admission to opening an account in a bank and hence its loss can lead to major trouble.
