In India, every person needs an Aadhar card now. At present, most of the printing on Aadhar card is done in English Language only. However, it is not necessary that all people in all parts of country know English, so now the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has started the facility of making Aadhar card in regional languages.
Aadhar is an important ID that is used by all including the farming community. Hence our objective is to provide this information to those people.
You can now change your Aadhar card into English, Tamil, Hindi, Punjabi, Assamese, Bengali, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali & Marathi languages. You can apply online to change the language in Aadhar card.
