Bhubaneswar: Odisha government on Tuesday said an Aadhaar card is not mandatory for admission of a student in any school in the State.
State School and Mass Education Department Secretary Aswathy S, in a letter to all the district education officers, said children must be allowed to take admission in schools with or without an Aadhaar card.
“It was instructed earlier that the admission of students should be hassle-free and smooth and in no case parents shall face inconvenience during the admission of their children,'' the letter said. After admission, students should be facilitated for obtaining Aadhaar cards by coordinating with various offices of the district, it said.
The Secretary asked the district education officers to communicate and inform all head masters and head mistresses for the smooth admission of students and any deviation will be viewed seriously.
