Telangana mandates 100% Aadhaar enrolment and biometric updates for all school students to enhance educational access.
Department of School Education, in coordination with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), will implement a Telangana-wide initiative to achieve 100% Aadhaar enrolment and mandatory biometric updates for all students across government and private schools.
This, “to ensure seamless access to educational services and prevent future examination-related issues”, will be taken up through three Aadhar manpower agencies, who are each allotted 11 districts.
According to the department, headmasters of government schools and principals of private schools shall ensure enrolment of 100% students and complete the pending mandatory biometric updates reflected in the respective School UDISE+ login portals.
As per a review held by Director (School Education) E. Naveen Nicolas on Wednesday (February 25, 2026), the current Aadhaar enrolment stands is at 94 %. The biometric updates require students to refresh iris, fingerprints and photos upon turning 5 and again after 15 years of age in line with UIDAI norms.
