Visakhapatnam: The Andhra Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (APSCPCR) has raised concerns regarding the challenges faced by students in registering for the newly issued Automatic Permanent Academic Account Registration (APAR) cards. This initiative, launched by the Central Government under the slogan "One Nation," aims to streamline academic records for students from kindergarten to postgraduate levels across India.
Gondu Sitaram, a member of the APSCPCR, emphasized the urgent need for officials from various government departments to address the difficulties arising from a lack of coordination and delays in processing. He stated that parents and students are reportedly encountering numerous issues, including discrepancies in names and dates of birth on Aadhaar cards and school records, minor typographical errors, and incomplete registrations on birth certificates maintained by local panchayats and municipal corporations. He highlighted that there is a noted scarcity of Aadhaar centers in several districts, which complicates the correction process for these documents.
In response to these ongoing challenges, he stated that the APSCPCR has been receiving consistent complaints from affected families and urged immediate action from district collectors, education officers, municipal commissioners, and Aadhaar officials to facilitate smoother registration processes. The commission has issued directives aimed at resolving these issues, particularly focusing on areas such as Visakhapatnam.
