UID, in principle, looks promising as a starting point

Hi there,

A few years back,the Govt realised that Ministries under their control all had their own databases for purposes like voting, PDS, Driving License etc which at times were manipulated and factually wrong. .

After the Mumbai Attack they realised that the starting point to indentify their fishermen was to give them ID Cards. PSU's like ECIL, BEL, ITI etc were roped in to produce MNIC's (Multipurpose National Identity Cards) NPR ( National Population Register) to identify them and distribute whatever benefits is due to them in a systematic and just way without musclemen, politicians etc pocketing the benefits.

UID, in principle, looks promising as a starting point and time will tell us if it is going to used as a tool to benefit or repress the citizens 

Cheers
