Unique ID cards for 30 lakh in pilot project
HYDERABAD: Deputy Director General of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) VS Bhaskar said he was satisfied with the progress made by the unique identification process across the country. At Veluru in Medak district, a Proof of Concept (PoC) had been devised.
Explaining, Bhaskar said, “The PoC is aimed at evaluating the technical, operational and behavioural aspects of enrolling biometrics of the citizens. About 30,000 citizens would be enrolled with their biometrics in the PoC to observe the trend. About 10 to 30 lakh citizens would be given unique ID cards by enrolling their biometrics in the pilot project that follows the PoC exercise. The UIDAI has chosen Hyderabad-based 4G Identity Solutions for evaluating and benchmarking the standards of the pilot projects, as well as the whole enrolment exercise. The project aims to improve the efficacy of service to the 1.2 billion citizens of India.
