Budaun (UP), Apr 4: A child was denied admission at a government school here as in place of her name, "Madhu ka Panchwa Baccha" and "Baby Five of Madhu" was written on the Aadhaar card, officials said on Monday.

The card also did not carry the Aadhaar number, they said.

The matter came up on Saturday when Dinesh, a resident of Raipur village in Bilsi tehsil, reached the primary school to get his daughter Aarti admitted. A teacher, Ekta Varshney, denied admission to her, the officials said.

The teacher asked Dinesh to get the Aadhaar card rectified.

District Magistrate Deepa Ranjan said, "Aadhaar cards are being prepared in post offices and banks. The mistake has happened because of gross negligence. We will alert bank and post office officials and strict action will be taken against those involved in such negligence."

A picture of the Aadhaar card went viral on social media.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched a health insurance scheme for the employees of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) called 'KSRTC Arogya' on Monday.

Speaking at the launch event, the CM said the doctors should not be dismissive of patients visiting hospitals under the scheme and treat everyone equally.

Karnataka's Minister for Transport and Muzrai, Ramalinga Reddy, who was also present, said around 34,000 employees of KSRTC and their dependents (approximately 1.5 lakh people) will be eligible for this scheme.

According to him, this scheme was the fulfilment of a demand raised by labour unions for many years.

"The scheme will also be implemented in organisations such as BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation), NWKRTC (North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation), and KKRTC (Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation) within the next three months," added Reddy.

Chairman of KSRTC and MLA of Gubbi Constituency, S R Srinivasa handed over a cheque of Rs 20 crore to the KSRTC Trust, to form a corpus fund for the implementation of the scheme. He also released the internal periodic magazine, 'Saarige Sampada' and the KSRTC Arogya Manual.

Under 'KSRTC Arogya' all 34,000 employees of the corporation are eligible even for eye and dental treatments, said a KSRTC press note.

To begin with, KSRTC has signed MOUs with 275 hospitals and four diagnostics centres for IP/OPD cashless treatments. Under the scheme, Rs 650 per month will be deducted from the salaries of the officers and staff of the corporation, added the note.
