    • P Vaidyanathan Iyer Tags : Manmohan Singh, Nandan Nilekani Posted: Monday , Jun 22, 2009 at 0420 hrs

    The first UPA government had on January 28 notified the Unique Identification Authority of India under the Planning Commission and provided Rs 100 crore in the Interim Budget to kickstart implementation of the project. The governance structure of the authority may be modified to enable Nilekani to take over its reins with a Cabinet Minister’s rank.

    Once implemented, the UID project will eliminate the need for multiple identification mechanisms. The permanent ID card will carry a unique number, photograph and biometric data. To begin with, it will be assigned to all voters by building on current electoral roll data, and to persons under 18 years to be added to the list.
