UID CAMP IN SOCIETY

ADHAR: UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

In order to help residents of the Society, the staff as well as maids and their families, a camp has been organised in the Society office to register for acquiring a UID Card for each individual.

The camp shall run from 12th Sep to 18th Sep 2011. Details of what the UID Card means are summarised below:

What is Aadhaar Number?

• A number(12 Digits)

• For every individual, including infants

• Enables identification, and is for every resident

• Will collect demographic and biometric information to establish uniqueness of individual

• Voluntary

• For every resident, irrespective of existing documentation

• Each individual will be given a single unique ID number

• UIDAI will enable a universal identity infrastructure that any ID based application like ration card, passport etc. can use

• UIDAI will give a “Yes” or “No” response for any identification authentication queries.

Aadhaar Number Benefits

1. Aadhaar is a unique number, and no resident can have a duplicate number since it is linked to their individual biometrics; thereby identifying fake and ghost identities which result in leakages today.

2. Aadhaar is a universal number, and agencies and services can contact the central Unique Identification database from anywhere in the country to confirm a beneficiary’s identity.

3. A problem in reaching benefits to poor and marginalized residents is that they often lack the identification documents they need to receive State benefits; the ‘Introducer‘ system which has been approved for data verification for the UIDAI will enable such residents to establish an identity.

4. The UID-enabled-Bank-Account network will offer a secure and low cost platform to directly remit benefits to residents without the heavy costs associated today with benefit distribution

5. The UIDAI will offer online authentication services for agencies who wish to validate a resident’s identity; this service will enable confirmation of the entitlement actually reaching the intended beneficiary.

6. Using Aadhaar as an authentication mechanism, residents should be able to access up-to-date information about their entitlements, demand services and redress their grievances directly from their mobile phone, kiosks or other means. In the case of self-service on the resident’s mobile, security is assured using two-factor authentication (i.e. by proving possession of the resident’s registered Mobile Number and knowledge of the resident’s Aadhaar PIN).

7. The Aadhaar will become the single source of identity verification. Once residents enrol, they can use the number multiple times – they would be spared the hassle of repeatedly providing supporting identity documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a bank account, passport, driving license,and so on.
