The Advanced Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) was inaugurated by Minister of State for Defence Shri Sanjay Seth on March 6, 2026, at Estate Plaza, Kantatoli in Ranchi. The centre was established to improve Aadhaar enrolment and update services by introducing upgraded hardware, high-speed connectivity, and better infrastructure. It aims to provide faster processing, greater transparency, and a more user-friendly experience for residents. Operated by Protean eGov Technologies Ltd under UIDAI guidelines, the centre supports both new enrolments and demographic or biometric updates. Its establishment also helps reduce waiting time and improve Aadhaar-related services for people in Ranchi and nearby districts.
