    • Bibek Debroy Tags : Lok Sabha, bibek debroy Posted: Friday , May 29, 2009 at 2349 hrs

    The MNIC website still says it is under construction (it has been that way for several years). But since 2008, that initiative has been subsumed under the National Authority for Unique Identity (NAUI), housed in the Planning Commission. The home minister has just told us we will have to wait for Census 2011 for MNICs to be available. It’s not clear why. If we are serious about using MNICs to facilitate cash transfers to poor, how about starting pilots in metros and not border

    districts? With 300 crorepatis in the Lok Sabha, how about giving them MNICs and accepting they are non-poor? If we are serious, we begin somewhere. And if we aren’t, we muddle along, with all the fiscal consequences.
