Bhuvan Aadhaar portal: To assist Aadhaar card users, a new Aadhaar portal called Bhuvan has been launched by UIDAI, which can help users locate Aadhaar centers. It is claimed that this portal is better than Google Maps, as it is specially designed for Aadhaar users.
You will no longer have to struggle to find an Aadhaar card center, thanks to the new Aadhaar portal launched by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). It has been developed with the help of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and its Divine National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC). The portal is called the Bhuvan Aadhaar Portal. This web-based portal, created by UIDAI, is expected to be highly beneficial for Aadhaar users.
Why has the new app been launched?
Currently, if you need to find an Aadhaar center, you may quickly turn to Google Maps for directions. However, you might not know if a new Aadhaar center has recently opened near you. While Google Maps shows the actual location of centers, it may update the information late. On the other hand, the new Bhuvan Aadhaar portal launched by UIDAI will have information about every Aadhaar center. It will be updated every month and every 15 days. With this app, you can easily get the location of the nearest Aadhaar center.

UIDAI provides information
UIDAI has shared details about the Bhuvan Aadhaar portal on its official X platform. According to UIDAI, Bhuvan is a geo-spatial platform developed by ISRO. To visit this platform, you can scan the QR code or click on the direct link. The portal will provide information about all Aadhaar centers across the country, and it will also show the date when the portal was last updated.
Aadhaar update is necessary
UIDAI has recently informed that if your Aadhaar card is 10 years old, you will be required to update it. This update is being implemented for the safety of Aadhaar card users. Users can update their Aadhaar at any Aadhaar center, and the Bhuvan Aadhaar portal can assist in finding the nearest center. Aadhaar can also be updated online, but for fingerprint and iris scans, you will need to visit an Aadhaar center.
