UDID Camp in Ajmer facilitates UDID card registration of Persons with Disabilities, Enhance Access to Vital Services

Ajmer, September 20, 2024 – As part of the special initiative to facilitate registration of Unique Disability Identity Card (UDID) for the differently-abled persons, a joint camp was organized today at Kasturba Hospital, Ajmer, during which 84 individuals successfully registered for their disability certificates and UDID cards. The camp was jointly organized by the Departments of Social Justice and Empowerment, Medical and Health and the Centre for Advocacy and Research (CFAR).

For Daulatram, a street vendor from Ward 7, this camp was one of the best things that happened to him, as he had been struggling to find ways to apply for the UDID card for his 10-year-old daughter Kajal, who has cerebral palsy and a locomotor disability.

Speaking about this, Daulatram said “Naz Bano, a Help-desk member from Ward 7, informed me about the camp and assisted me with filling out the application form. With the help of Naz Bano, the Single Window team, and CFAR, my daughter’s registration was successfully completed today. I am thankful to everyone involved. Now, my daughter will be eligible for pension and other benefits,” Daulatram said.

During the camp Help-desk members like Naz Bano and the digital Single Window team facilitated many persons with disabilities including Kajal to ensure the smooth registration and uploading of online applications. The UDID card is a critical document for persons with disabilities, enabling them to access various government benefits, including healthcare, education, employment, financial assistance, and special aid appliances. By standardizing the identification process across India, the UDID card ensures that individuals with disabilities can apply for and receive vital support designed to improve their quality of life.

In addition to registration, the camp also facilitated on-the-spot medical checkups by a dedicated medical team. These assessments determined the type and degree of disability for each applicant, ensuring that all necessary medical certifications were promptly completed.

This joint effort highlights the importance of such initiatives in bridging the gap between persons with disabilities and the services they are entitled to. By facilitating the registration of these 84 individuals, the camp played a pivotal role in enhancing their social and economic inclusion.
