A trained volunteer on a motorcycle loaded with an LCD television, a sound system and a generator set could be touring the districts soon to spread the word about the landmark unique identity project that has already seen as many as 34 lakh receive their numbers in Jharkhand.

E-Avas, or Ekal Audio Visual Awareness System, designed by a local entrepreneur, will get on the road once an awareness film on the Aadhar number is created.

“The film,” said additional director-general of (UIDAI) P.K. Upadhyay, “will be produced under the guidance of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and Doordarshan artistes”.

To begin with the awareness drive will be held at places where UID applications are accepted. Gradually, the campaign will fan out to the villages where the necessity and importance of the project needs to be highlighted to ensure foolproof enrolments.

“We have to chalk out a programme in such a way so that government money isn’t misused,” he said.

Arun Prakash, who has designed the system, believes it will turn out to be an effective tool for the UIDAI. The volunteer will be carrying a host of electronic items to make an attractive audio-visual presentation.

“The electronic devices include an LCD TV (anything between 42inch to 60inch), a sound system comprising four column speakers each of 3x12 inch dimension and a 250watt amplifier with a microphone,” said Prakash, who runs Shruti Visual Information Private Limited.

The volunteer, he added, would also carry a soundless portable generator set of 650 watt and electrical wires for connecting it.

All this equipment will be carried in proper cases and the motorbike will be specially designed so that a 7feet high stand can be affixed to its mudguard. The LCD TV will be placed on this stand for all to see.

“Once a volunteer reaches a pre-identified area to talk about the UID project, the volunteer will place the four speakers as per the number of people who have gathered there and then connect it to the TV set. He will then speak on the microphone before showing the film,” Prakash explained.

Enrolment for Aadhar numbers began in the state in September last year from Ratu block of Ranchi district. Initially, the enrolment was conducted for those residing in rural areas only. Later, however, urban areas were included.

“As of now, the total number of people enrolled for Aadhar is around 65 lakh figure. Of them, more than 34 lakh have got their unique identity numbers,” said a UIDAI official.

According to the 2011 census, Jharkhand has a population of 3.29 crore. On any given day, agencies assigned the task of enrolments, record details of over 40,000 people.

“Enrolment is going on well, but it is slightly slow,” the official rued.
