UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION AUTHORITY OF INDIA

Honorable co-chairman of INFOSYS technologies Mr. Nandan Nilekani has left his company and his post to head on the 'Unique identification department of Indian Government'.
He'll be taking charge of the department this week in New Delhi.

The question which arises is that this unique identification card will be going to make any difference or not?
According to Govt. this unique card will contain all the information of card holder ranging from his name,address,religion,caste,his fingerprint etc.

Basically it doesn't seem to be different from any other previous Govt. cards such as Ration card,Driving license etc.
So if the Govt. is thinking that this card will reduce the duplicacy of cards as it is normal for all previous cards then i personally don't feel that it will be stopped. because the people who want to cheat can again cheat by giving false information and little amount of money to the person who'll visit them to take their information.
As this department is under Govt. so if at some point of time card holder changes his address,profession etc.then he'll feel reluctant to visit the office as everyone knows how much tedious it is to get work done by Govt. employees then in that case how will that card serve the purpose as it will be holding fake or old information.

If Mr. Nilekani would be able to change the scenario of Government department i.e. to make employees more efficient, hardworking ,dutiful,tech. savvy as like their counter parts in private depatments then only we can expect some proficient and prolific work from them otherwise this project and this unique card will just be wastage of hundred of crores of rupees.

As a true Indian i really want this project to be successful so that duplicacy of cards can be stopped which will help security forces to stop infiltration from adjoining countries
moreover people will not be able to get fake certificates for lower castes and poor economic conditions which will really help those general category students to get admission with healthy and fair competition.

so i wish all the very best to the team of Mr Nandan NIlekani.....!
