2,000 Chintoor Families Lack Essential Documents

In the Chintoor ITDA, nearly 2,000 households with over 7,800 children lack essential identity documents, Aadhaar and birth certificates, hindering their access to quality education and government benefits. The absence of these documents makes it difficult for tribal families like Kosayya to enroll in premier schools like Eklavya Model Residential Schools and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas. According to the district's education officer, P. Brahmaji Rao, 70% of children without Aadhaar are from internally displaced persons (IDPs), while the rest belong to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups. The ITDA Project Officer, Apoorva Bharat, reports that 33% of children in the agency area cannot access welfare schemes due to the lack of Aadhaar.
