India’s Unique Identification Number

Monday, June 29, 2009

Social Security Number. Common Identification Number. Identity number. These are all various synonym of the same word carrying a significant meaning. To the IT behemoths, this is a project of great significance as the related investment in various organization to make this project would be close to $ 1 Billion USD. Well, you can ask me what’s so interesting about this project.

The government’s vision is to bring social security. What does it mean? It means a lot. A minimum committed support system for all the citizens of India. This is great news. Government is carrying out such activity currently but the benefits of the same are not felt either by the citizens or by the Government. This is a unique project where the citizens of India will have a unique Identification number (UIN). This UIN would be related from your public distribution system number to insurance number to your bank account number to even your Driving licence number or anything that can be related to our identity.

Hence every system would be under a single identity. Well, for the man living his day to day life on the edge, whatever schemes government announces would be ensured to reach him. Hence let us assume a minimum wage of Rs.1000 has to reach every citizen below poverty line, this system would ensure, and that this amount gets credited into his account and crosschecked. Which is not the truth currently as whatever the government envisages is taken in the middle by the middleman. Hope the word clarifies who they are. One of the recent government project that envisaged removing off the loans borne by the farmers only grapple by so called large landowners, who in turn are representative of the Middleman. And these people are present everywhere in the system.

Whether this system would be implemented effectively can be question of doubt. However, by the fact when Government decides to get it done…it gets it done at all cost. And as any other Citizen who watches the regular activities of the government believes that this would get implemented. The benefit of this system can have a cascade effect on all segments of the people. From the tabawalla to the shoe-repair guy to the milk man to me to you and to those super rich, whoever it is, this would be of great boon. This can directly bring in clear law enforcement to all those who breach any code of conduct in the democratic system. How fast this becomes reality is the question everyone who reads this would ask me. I hope to see this gets completely implemented and benefits reaching every common Indian in a decade.
