How exactly does providing a UIN to every citizen help? makes you feel good, yeah? well that’s not worth 5 billion US dollars, going by projects attempted elsewhere it could be around 30 billion US dollars.

If you want a unique ID, get a gmail account. If you want a document to prove you are indian, get a passport. When terrorists can get Indian passports, why bother with UIN? If screws up privacy, is a security nightmare, delivers no goods, and is the perfect black hole for several billions of rupees of taxpayer money.

For once I will say Govt has taken a practicle,and a decision in national interest.My compliments to the Govt for statrting work on UIN and that the set up is being headed by the most respected man in the industry.Such people will make the difference.I hope Govt will find some more professionals like him.For once we may not see a minister surronded by commandos as a status symbol.

@Harsh, its a long time coming. As a citizen of India, we have hardly anything to prove it. A national ID has been long in the making. Also it will help us in cutting down illegal migration and at the same time it would be easy for the govt to manage its subsidies and poverty alleviation programs.

Allotting Unique Identification numbers to every one sounds a great idea … hope it is implemented sooner than later !!!
