UIDAI

So here I am with my first post. This is a very important and national level issue that we will be discussing.

UIDAI - Unique Identity Authority Of India

So what is it ?? This is a PMO undertaking (under Planning Commission) which aims at issuing a unique identification number to each and every citizen of India. In order to accomplish this task, Microsoft has been asked to develop an application or whatever it would be (the idea of product is not out till date) to assign the identity. This step is taken because in highly populated country like ours, its difficult to prove the identity which make many people unavailability of the many subsidies etc. This approach is extension of one which was taken by Election Commission in 1993 by issuing photo identity cards.

The issue I am addressing is that they have developed a model to issue 600 million UID's in coming 4 years when it has started functioning, that it hopes to be within 12-18 months - what opportunities you see as an IT guy......??

Can we implement the application ?
Can we come up with the idea of speeding up the process ?
Can we design a logo for the authority ?
Can we come up with the new fields of UID ?

I will be waiting for queries and new innovative ideas !!
