What is UDID Card?
The UDID Card, or Unique Disability ID Card, is an initiative by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India. This card aims to offer a standardized identity for individuals with disabilities, simplifying access to benefits and services. It features a unique identification number, personal information, and disability-specific details.
The Government of India maintains a database of all UDID Card holders, which aids in the development and implementation of future schemes. Upon applying for a UDID, individuals with disabilities receive a UDID ID Card. This card can be used to access various government benefits.
