Aadhaar News for NRIs and OCIs! India Simplifies Rules and Introduces Specific Forms – Indianeagle.com

Now NRIs and OCI cardholders are eligible to obtain an Aadhaar Card given they fulfil certain criteria. The government of India has brought new Aadhaar rules to make it easier and simpler for them. Hence, Non-Resident Indians and Overseas Citizens of India are required to use specified forms to enroll for an Aadhaar Card. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) introduced separate forms for non-resident Indians under the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Amendment Regulations, 2024 to eliminate confusion with resident Indians.

First things first, is it mandatory for NRIs to have an Aadhaar Card? Well, all overseas Indians holding an Indian passport are eligible for the Aadhar program, but applying for the 12-digit Aadhar ID is an individual choice as far as non-residents are concerned. It must be noted that they need a valid identity proof issued by the Indian Government such as Aadhaar to make any financial transactions in the country.

Aadhaar news for NRIs, how OCI cardholders apply for Aadhaar, new Aadhaar forms for overseas Indians

As an NRI, if you seek Aadhaar for yourself or your minor children, you can apply any time you travel back to your homeland. You can visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (service center) to complete the registration and biometric verification process. Your valid Indian passport is a sufficient proof of identity (in fact the only accepted ID proof) for Aadhaar enrolment. However, a birth certificate is a must for applicants born on or after October 1, 2023, as per India’s new Aadhaar rules for NRIs.

Also, the latest amendment necessitates periodic update of individual information on their Aadhar document. Once every 10 years, Aadhar holders including NRIs must update their current address and other information in the centralized database. You can now do this online (through official website or mobile app) or offline (at an Aadhar enrolment center) as per your convenience.

New Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Forms for NRIs

UIDAI has introduced 9 forms for residents and overseas Indians. The form you need to fill for Aadhar enrolment/update depends on whether your address is in India or outside the country and the age group you fall in.

Form 1 and Form 3 are for applicants (both residents and non-residents) with a valid proof of address in India. Form 1 is the Aadhar enrolment/update form for those above 18 years of age while Form 3 is for enrolling children aged between 5 and 18 years.

Form 2 and Form 4 are specifically introduced for NRIs who apply for Aadhar enrolment/update with an address proof outside of India. Form 2 is applicable for NRI adults and Form 4 is for NRI children aged between 5 and 18 years.

You can also enroll children below 5 years and for this, you need to access separate forms – Form 5 (if the address is in India) and Form 6 (if the address is outside India).

Aadhaar Forms for OCI Cardholders

Earlier, Overseas Citizens of India were not eligible for an Aadhaar Card. After the government clarified that Aadhaar does not certify one’s citizenship, OCIs have been added to the categories of overseas Indians eligible for Aadhaar. However, there is a condition. Minimum 182 days of stay in India in a calendar year is compulsory for OCI cardholders to apply for an Aadhaar Card.

Applicants above 18 years, among OCI cardholders, should use Form 7 for Aadhaar enrolment. Form 8 is for OCI cardholders under 18 years. Their application without a valid email ID will be rejected.

And during the enrolment process, you must not fail to provide your email address. It must be noted that UIDAI doesn’t support international numbers and thus you wouldn’t receive any SMS/text notification regarding your Aadhar if you provide a non-Indian phone number.

“Work with US”: Website to apply for a job at the Vatican

“Work with US”: Website to apply for a job at the Vatican

The Vatican Secretariat for the Economy launches a new webpage to accept job applications for laypeople who wish to apply for vacant positions at the Holy See.

By Vatican News – 24 October 2023,

“Work with Us” is a title that says it all. Up to now, lay staff to be hired at various levels of the Holy See were selected based on available CVs (curriculum vitae). From now on, it will be possible to directly apply for vacant or soon-to-be vacant positions.

This is the main innovation of the new website of the Secretariat for the Economy, led by the Prefect, Maximino Caballero Ledo, which came online on Tuesday.

Vatican personnel and reform

As the Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy explains, “A central theme in the economic reform concerns personnel, which, as always, is one of the most complex reforms to implement. This is because to implement the reform and carry out the mission of the Holy See, we need people with the appropriate competence, motivation, and, above all, an ethical sense.”

“How can one work at the Holy See? What positions are available?”

To answer these questions, says Luis Herrera, the Director of Human Resources of the Holy See, “it will now be possible to do so publicly through the ‘Work with Us’ section of the website dedicated to this purpose. All information about vacant positions and the required candidate qualifications will be published here. Anyone interested will be able to submit their application through the website.”

Simplifying application process

In this way, as noted by the Secretariat for the Economy, it will be possible to reach everyone, especially those interested, who can immediately learn about available positions, thereby promoting the selection of personnel genuinely interested in that specific role.

“It often happens,” says Mr. Herrera, “that Dicasteries and offices request staff with particular specializations, such as linguistic or technical skills, which are not easy to find. Thanks to the new website, communication between supply and demand will be facilitated.”

However, it will also be possible to submit your CV through the website without connecting it to a specific position, while waiting for a suitable one to become available.

“Work with Us” is a section dedicated to lay staff interested in working at the Holy See and is aimed at candidates external to the Vatican.

Internal mobility

At the same time, the Secretariat for the Economy is also working to promote internal mobility, so when a position becomes vacant, the notice will also be conveyed through the Employee Portal to check if there are people already part of the Holy See’s staff who are interested.

The new website of the Secretariat for the Economy, in addition to information on the functions and decision-making processes of the Dicastery, also transparently presents the rules governing control and supervision in economic and financial matters, as well as those for oversight and supervision in administrative matters.

For example, the Office of Procurement Regulations interprets and applies the “Rules on transparency, control and competition in the procedures for awarding public contracts of the Holy See and Vatican City State,” adopted in May 2020.

The website is available here.

A New York City medical school goes tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift. – ABC News

Albert Einstein College of Medicine is set to go tuition-free after receiving a $1 billion donation from former professor Ruth Gottesman

NEW YORK – A New York City medical school will be tuition-free for all students from now on thanks to a $1 billion donation from a former professor, the widow of a Wall Street investor.

Ruth Gottesman announced the gift and its purpose to students and faculty at Albert Einstein College of Medicine Monday, bringing some in the audience to tears and others to their feet, cheering. Gottesman, 93, has been affiliated with the college for 55 years and is the chairperson of its board of trustees.

The gift is intended to attract a diverse pool of applicants who otherwise might not have the means to attend. It will also let students graduate without debt that can take decades to repay, college administrators said. Tuition at Einstein is $59,458 per year. The average medical school debt in the U.S. is $202,453, excluding undergraduate debt, according to the Education Data Initiative.

“Each year, well over 100 students enter Albert Einstein College of Medicine in their quest for degrees in medicine and science,” Gottesman said. “They leave as superbly trained scientists and compassionate and knowledgeable physicians, with the expertise to find new ways to prevent diseases and provide the finest health care.”

Gottesman credited her late husband, David “Sandy” Gottesman for leaving her with the financial means to make such a donation. David Gottesman built the Wall Street investment house, First Manhattan, and was on the board of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. He died in 2022 at age 96.

“l feel blessed to be given the great privilege of making this gift to such a worthy cause,” Ruth Gottesman said.

The gift is believed to be the largest made to any medical school in the country, according to Montefiore Einstein, the umbrella organization for Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Montefiore Health System.

“I believe we can change healthcare history when we recognize that access is the path to excellence,” said Dr. Philip Ozuah, president and chief executive of Montefiore Einstein.

Gottesman joined Einstein’s Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center in 1968 and developed screening and treatments for learning problems. She started the first-of-its-kind Adult Literacy Program at the center in 1992, and in 1998 was named the founding director of the Emily Fisher Landau Center for the Treatment of Learning Disabilities at CERC. She is clinical professor emerita of pediatrics at Einstein.

Through their foundation, the Gottesman Fund, the family has supported charities in Israel and within the U.S. Jewish community, especially through gifts to schools, universities and New York City’s American Museum of Natural History.

Einstein becomes the second tuition-free medical school in New York. In 2018, New York University School of Medicine announced that it would cover the tuition of all its students.

A Summary of “The Measure of a Man” by Gene Getz by Bruce Welton – May 11, 2013.

In my efforts to try and understand the meaning of being a man, I ask questions as a Christian. Because I am a Christian, I look for answers that fit within a particular cosmology that describes the purpose and meaning of life. A cosmology is a world-view or perspective that provides suggestions as to how all things came to be, and where all things are going. Every ideology is framed within a cosmology that tries to explain the origins, purpose and eventualities of everything in the universe. As a Christian, our cosmology comes from the Scriptures- as does our understanding of the purpose and the mechanics of human beings.

Today’s book, “The Measure of a Man” by Gene Getz, deals less with the generalities of what manhood looks like, and looks specifically at some chief characteristics of a mature man as they are spelled out in two key passages from the New Testament on the subject.

Getz’s work here is to answer what it means to be a “man of God”, as Paul described Timothy as in 2 Timothy 3:17. Getz pulls a list of 20 qualities from I Timothy 3:1-7 and from Titus 1:5-10 that are characteristics of the Christian leader, who is essentially esteemed as a mature man in Christ.

The following are the qualities listed in the two passages that are traits of the man growing in maturity.

Overall spiritual maturity. He is well-rounded.
Above reproach. He is of good repute.
Husband of one wife. He is morally pure.
Temperate. He is balanced in words and actions.
Prudent. He is wise and humble.
Respectable. He is a good role model.
Hospitable. He is unselfish and generous.
Able to Teach. He communicates sensitively in a non-threatening and nondefensively manner.
Not Addicted to Wine. He is not addicted to substances.
Not Self-Willed. He is not self-centered and controlling.
Not quick-tempered. He is void of anger that becomes sinful.
Not pugnacious. He is not abusive.
Gentle. He is sensitive, loving and kind.
Peaceable. He is nonargumentative and noninvasive.
Free from love of money. He is nonmaterialistic.
Manages his own household well. He is a good husband and father.
Loving what is good. He pursues godly activities.
Just. He is wise, discerning, nonprejudiced and fair.
Devout. He is holy and devoted to God.
Self-controlled. He is disciplined.

I think at a later time I need to try and categorize these qualities in some way. Right now, they seem to be 20 disparate items that flower off of an unidentified trunk. If you found these thoughts compelling, you can purchase this book at Amazon.
