We come across, almost daily, of some news related to the Aadhar card. Sometimes we hear of government announcing new services which will be linked to the Aadhar, sometimes on some order of Court on this, sometimes politicians talking about it and so on. And rightly so, as more than 105 cr Indians have already enrolled themselves with Aadhar.
Now comes a news of how Aadhar helped a lost mute boy unite with his family. This is the story of one Sanjay Yenkur, 12, from village Henchal in Latur in Maharashtra. After a tiff at home with his brother Sanjay left his home in 2014. In March last year he was found by the Railway police in Vadodara, loitering all alone in the railway station. Not being able to get any information from Sanjay, as to from where he had come, he was taken to a school there. Later when the students of the school were to get their Aadhar cards made, in a camp, it was discovered that Sanjay already had an Aadhar enrollment. This helped in tracing him back to his family, 800 kms away.
