The Jan-Aadhaar Yojana, spearheaded by the Government of Rajasthan, aims to optimise service delivery to the state's residents by offering ‘One Number, One Card, One Identity.’ This initiative consolidates access to diverse government services through a singular card and identification number. The Jan Adhaar mobile app complements this effort by facilitating seamless access to government schemes. Citizens can utilise the app to procure their Jan Aadhaar eCard, monitor the status of their enrolment and card issuance, and track the services they have availed. By simplifying interactions across various government channels, the app enhances convenience and operational efficiency, ultimately fostering smoother transactions between citizens and governmental bodies. The Jan Aadhar card is central to this initiative, providing a unified platform for accessing multiple Aadhaar related services.
