Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s digital excellence took center stage at Aadhaar Samvaad 2025, as the Odisha Computer Application Centre (OCAC) earned two national accolades from UIDAI for its outstanding contributions to Aadhaar services.
Held in New Delhi, the prestigious event saw OCAC, the technical wing of the Electronics & IT Department, Government of Odisha, being lauded for its exceptional performance in both Aadhaar enrolment and authentication.
The first award was presented to OCAC for achieving high-level accuracy in Aadhaar enrolment as a registrar. “This recognition is a testament to OCAC’s unwavering commitment to quality, precision, and compliance with UIDAI’s standards, ensuring error-free and citizen-friendly enrolment services across Odisha,” an official release said.
The second award recognised OCAC’s role as a State Authentication User Agency (AUA). By facilitating a secure, efficient, and reliable platform for real-time Aadhaar authentication, OCAC has played a key role in enabling seamless delivery of government services. “This has contributed to enhancing the efficacy of Aadhaar-based service delivery mechanisms within the state,” it added.
Chief Executive Officer Pradeep Raut received the awards on behalf of OCAC. The ceremony was graced by Union Minister for Electronics & IT and Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, and UIDAI CEO.
