Their health, and the health of their children, is put at risk because they lack the documents needed to enroll for Aadhaar.

Bhanoli is a tribal hamlet situated in the craggy hills of Nandurbar district, less than 10 km from the border of Gujarat and Maharahstra. On the rainy afternoon of September 3, a tired Sunita Pawara, just back from work in her family’s rice field, sat in her brick-and-mud hut in the village, breastfeeding her 17-month-old son Sameer.

The hut had one charpoy, a few steel utensils stacked against a wall, and a partition to carve out some space for the kitchen. Rainwater dripped through its bamboo and straw roof. This was home to the 11 individuals of the Pawara household – which included Sunita’s father-in-law and mother-in-law, and her brother-in-law’s family.
