As all of you are aware, the UDID is being made mandatory from April 1, 2023 for registering for central government schemes. This even while more than half of the disabled who have certificates, have not been issued UDID or have enrolled but not been issued certificates, or have been unable to enroll for it, due to various issues. UDID is being made compulsory even when central government’s own ministries/departments viz. railways, for admissions to MBBS, for recruitment in jobs, or many institutes of higher learning are refusing to accept the validity of the card The NPRD has written to the DEPwD objecting to the mandatory imposition of the UDID. It has also raised the issue of the refusal by various departments to accept its validity. Notwithstanding this, we would like to list before the department, the issues that the disabled are facing with regard to procuring UDID. One of the main issues that has been identified especially in the rural areas is about non-availability of seva kendras, private centres charging hefty amounts, or they being far away including their inaccessibility. Second issue identified is about card not being issued despite passage of a long time after enrollment. We are seeking a meeting with the Secretary DEPwD next week. The issues that we are attempting to list will be placed before him. You are requested to assist us by informing us of the issues that you face.
