IDENTIFIED YOU , AT LAST!!!!


Run to the Xerox store. Get the address proof document. Get the identity proof document. Bla bla bla. Run for attestation now.Huff!!!!What the hell!!! You are on the verge to submit an application form and these formalities have pissed you off. Gimme a break.

The UPA Government says this time : Take a Break.
Is it? Oh, thanks.
Well at last a step taken ; a step toward efficiency, a step towards productive development. The step is : Coming up with the Unique Identity Card for you , for me and for all. Good one.

UPA Government’s proposal to set up the Unique Identification Authority of India is a big leap towards various forms of social benefits ; a measure that is appropriately beneficial to suffice the requirements of each and every individual of this country.
The project budgeted between a sum of $2 billion and $10 billion is a kind of revolutionary step which would benefit the Software, hardware and IT enabled service companies too. As per the news sources, it has been learnt that Mahindra Satyam and National Securities Depository Limited are likely to bid for the project; even Infosys has shown interest.

Without any second thoughts, it can be stated to as the one of the best policy undertaken which would help in various kinds of analysis : ranging from national security to citizens by keeping a check over the unique identity of every individual without getting messed up into the various pen n paper activities and the stack of identity documents thus making the system more efficient and transparent while on the other hand will help to identify people falling under the BPL level and subsequently providing them with government subsidiaries without any hassle or wastage of resources. Even capable but unemployed youths can be identified amongst the millions of Indians and job schemes can be generated for them at a go. With information ranging from the unique identification 16 digit number , photo, biometric data comprising of financial, health and educational information , proper identification of any individual would be just a click away!!!!! Doing away with those PAN cards, Voter’s identity card, driver’s license etc would be a big boon in this technology operated era.

Nandan Nilekani , the ex co-founder of Infosys , has been appointed as the Chairperson of the Unique Identification Authority of India . Who else could have been awarded such a position other than the Man of the Moment!!! His belief in this project and the way he projects it as the one which can bring transformational impact on Indian economy gives a tremendous boost to this innovative welfare mechanism – waiting to see the light of the day very soon.

The way the utility of this card has been projected in various dailies and news reports …well Certainly you , or me, rather all of us can believe what Nilekani states : The Unique Identity Card will turn out to be bijli-sadak-makaan of the commom man in this new era. Any doubts?
