Government has launched a new Aadhaar Governance Portal to enhance citizen services and ease of living.

About New Aadhaar Governance Portal

It is the initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in alignment with recent amendments to the Aadhaar Authentication for Good Governance (Social Welfare, Innovation, Knowledge) Rules, 2025, under the Aadhaar Act of 2016.

Streamlined Approval Process

The portal automates and simplifies approvals for Aadhaar authentication requests, reducing bureaucratic delays. Entities (government and private) can now apply digitally via swik.meity.gov.in, with clear regulatory guidelines ensuring faster processing.

Citizen-Centric Service Delivery

By enabling seamless Aadhaar authentication, the portal aims to improve access to welfare services (e.g., subsidies, healthcare) and simplify identity verification for citizens, directly supporting the government’s "ease of living" agenda.

Expansion of Aadhaar Use Cases

The platform accelerates the inclusion of new governance applications, such as facial recognition integration, allowing biometric authentication anytime, anywhere. This supports sectors like e-commerce, education, and hospitality.

Both public and private entities can utilize  Aadhaar for services like:

• Healthcare: Faster patient identification and secure medical record access.
• Education: Simplified student authentication during exams/admissions.
• E-commerce: Fraud prevention via e-KYC verification.
• Workplace Management: Automated attendance and HR processes.

Security & Inclusivity

Facial recognition integration reduces dependence on OTPs, improving security. The portal also ensures marginalized groups access services via simplified authentication.
