The UIDAI self service portal has introduced a new AI/ML-driven chatbot service called "Aadhaar Mitra" to assist citizens with Aadhaar-related issues and questions. As per an official tweet from the UIDAI in February 2023, individuals will be able to use the AI-powered chatbot to check the status of their Aadhaar enrollment, track the status of their Aadhaar PVC card, and receive information on enrollment centres.

The responses provided by Aadhaar Mitra are prompt and automated. You can access the feature by navigating to the bottom right-hand corner of the UIDAI online portal. Currently, the bot is available in Hindi and English.

The Aadhaar Mitra chatbot streamlines the process of checking the status of an update simply by entering a user's pincode and will be directed to the nearest Aadhaar enrollment centre. The bot accessible through the UIDAI self service portal also provides guidance to users on what to do in the event that they misplace their Aadhaar card. It also includes instructions on how to access your e-Aadhaar card online.

Let's dive deep into the nature of Aadhaar Mitra via UIDAI online portal and how it can be used to answer any questions you could have about the Aadhaar system.


What is Aadhaar Mitra?

Aadhaar Mitra, UIDAI's new chatbot, is a powerful grievance redressal mechanism that can be accessed through the UIDAI self service portal (www.uidai.gov.in). 

The purpose of the chatbot is to improve the user's experience on the website and to provide answers to common questions about Aadhaar, such as where to find an Aadhaar Center, how to verify the status of enrollment or update, when to expect a PVC card order, how to file a complaint, how to check the status of a complaint, where to find an enrolment centre, how to schedule an appointment, and how to incorporate a video frame into the conversation. 

There are currently English and Hindi versions of the AI chatbot on the aadhaar online portal.
