A child was denied admission at a government school in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun 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.
