Aadhaar Biometrics Help Reunite Missing Divyang Child with Family in Assam

A divyang child with intellectual disabilities found wandering alone in Dibrugarh district, Assam, in May 2025 was reunited with her family nearly a year later using Aadhaar biometric data. After being placed in a children's home, officials submitted her fingerprint biometrics to the UIDAI, which matched her existing Aadhaar records and helped trace her home in Charaideo district. Authorities then located her family at Borhat Tea Estate and facilitated the reunion.
