Jan. 28, 2025: In a historic move for Manipur, Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths and Director of Health Services, Dr. Chambo Golmei, on Tuesday inaugurated the state’s first Aadhaar Linked Birth Registration (ALBR) for children aged 0-5 years at the District Hospital, Thoubal.
Dr. Golmei highlighted that this initiative marks a significant milestone in the state’s healthcare and public service sectors, ensuring that children’s births are registered with Aadhaar links.
