Every Indian will soon be numbered. The government has prepared the ground for what could be the world’s biggest project to provide unique identification (UID) numbers to citizens.
A new body will give all Indians UID-based smart cards with their personal details embedded in them. Even infants will have tag numbers, and will get smart cards in due course.
The permanent identifiers will be place of birth, date of birth and name of parents.
A gazette notification will soon be issued to set up a national UID authority under the Planning Commission.
The headquarters for the mammoth project will be in Delhi with offices in all states and Union Territories.
