UIDAI says it has completed more than 2 crore Mandatory Biometric Updates (MBU) in Aadhaar for school children. The update drive covers students and involves Aadhaar biometric data updates intended for children enrolled in schools.
According to the agency’s figures cited by outlets, the drive is carried out across approximately 1.56–1.6 lakh schools nationwide. Both reports present the completion milestone and the scale of coverage, describing the effort as a special drive focused on Aadhaar updates for students.
While the two sources align on the core numbers—over 2 crore updates and around 1.56–1.6 lakh schools—they differ slightly in phrasing. One outlet highlights “mandatory biometric updates” using the term “MBU,” while the other emphasizes “mandatory Aadhaar biometric updates,” without adding a materially different interpretation or additional operational details.
