    Updating children’s Aadhaar biometrics is required after they turn 7 years old

    If your child has recently turned seven, be aware that UIDAI recommends parents update their child’s Aadhaar biometric details. Since children’s fingerprints and iris patterns change as they grow, updating their Aadhaar ensures smoother processes in the future. You can go to any Aadhaar Seva Kendra or enrollment center without making an appointment. The update is free for children aged five to seven, and again at age 15. This simple process helps keep their ID information current and ensures easy access to government services in the future. Neglecting to update can cause authentication problems in the future, making it difficult to access benefits like scholarships or subsidies linked to Aadhaar. Updating now is a simple way to avoid these issues later!

    An increase in deaths due to Japanese encephalitis has been observed in Assam.

    Assam is experiencing a significant outbreak of Japanese Encephalitis, resulting in 26 deaths so far this year. The virus has affected almost all districts except two, leading health authorities to intensify their efforts and monitor the situation closely. According to health experts, Assam accounts for half of India’s Japanese Encephalitis (JE) cases, primarily affecting children under 10 and seniors over 60. Since April, the state has reported 300 confirmed cases. The local environment favors the mosquito-borne virus’s spread. To combat this, Assam has been conducting extensive vaccination campaigns since 2013 and has incorporated the JE vaccine into the standard immunization schedule for young children.
