Mr. Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of the UIDAI notes, "The name Aadhaar communicates the fundamental role of the number issued by the UIDAI the number as a universal identity infrastructure, a foundation over which public and private agencies can build services and applications that benefit residents across India." Aadhaar's guarantee of uniqueness and centralised, online identity verification would be the basis for building these multiple services and applications, and facilitating greater connectivity to markets Aadhaar would also give any resident the ability to access these services and resources, anytime, anywhere in the country Aadhaar can for example, provide the identity infrastructure for ensuring financial inclusion across the country – banks can link the unique number to a bank account for every resident, and use the online identity authentication to allow residents to access the account from anywhere in the country Aadhaar would also be a foundation for the e

Understanding the concept and functioning of Aadhaar is a must for every Indian resident. In the series, "Understanding Aadhaar" we will be explaining Aadhaar from very possible perspective.  Here is an excerpt from UIDAI  The brand name of the Unique Identification number (UID) will be Aadhaar. The name and logo for the unique numbers to be issued by the UIDAI have been developed keeping in mind the transformational potential of the program. Together, they communicate the essence and spirit of the UIDAI's mandate to people across the country. The UIDAI's mandate is to issue every resident a unique identification number linked to the resident's demographic and biometric information, which they can use to identify themselves anywhere in India, and to access a host of benefits and services. The number (referred to until now as the 'UID') has been named Aadhaar, which translates into 'foundation', or 'support'. This word is present across most

Cloud Computing Platform for Engineering Students We are company based out of Pune and we have released our product “BSTStudent”, a cloud based platform, for Engineering Students. BSTStudent aims to bridge the gap between Industry and Academia by bringing students, industry and mentors  on the same platform. Industry can post their project on the platform for Students and Students can apply for these projects. These projects can be remotely executed by students under the guidance of mentors.  Below are some of the video links to give you an idea about the problem we are trying to address For more details visit here

Aadhaar is an ambitious project by the Indian government to put every resident on an online database. It is the biggest of its kind project in the world. It is not only done in a country that is one of the most populous but also built on the state-of-the art technology. One of the service expected to offered by Aadhaar project is online authentication and verification of the residents. Towards this end, the Aadhaar authentication service expected to be open by year-end. The additional details are here

The immediate opportunity here is for the IT companies, most of whom have already started gearing up to the huge demand in the country itself. With a population nearing 1.2 billion, the country would need a massive infrastructure to support CSMS. Not only the banking industry but also the post offices (which in rural India are a substitute for banks) need to gear up to meet operation requirement. This is good news for hardware and software companies. There are a few Indian companies like Vakrangee Software who are actually the feet-on-the-ground, best positioned to take advantage of this mapping opportunity. Among the bigger companies, TCS has taken bold steps in penetrating the Indian market. Source: Unique ID spinoffs for banks, IT

So far, despite all the skepticism about a centralized database with the entire country’s biometrics, Nandan Nilekani’s obvious expertise ensured he had a smooth sail. He answered all critics head on and argued that the Aadhar biometric database he was creating could not be abused because it couldn’t be queried—so, for instance, it wouldn’t have any information on the caste or income of person X, but would just be able to say if a fingerprint belonged to X; it was only a means to establish identity, nothing else.
