Abstract

Aadhaar is an extremely good initiative by

Government of India for the identification of the

people residing in India. It’s an identity document

that can be used for making other documents related

to identity of the person. Now-a-days it has gone

beyond this point and now it is been included into

public services for the efficient delivery of the

services and to remove the bottlenecks. This research

paper has come up with the problems faced by the

people for linking their aadhaar card with public

services and the possible potential solutions. Lack of

awareness has been observed among the population.

Aadhaar still has a long way to go as still it is in the

incubation stage.

Key Words: Aadhaar Card, Population, Awareness,

Public Services

1. Introduction

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number

provided to every resident of India. It is launched in

2008 and is based on biometric data and demographic

data. Biometric data is about the face, fingerprints

and IRIS of the person whereas the demographic data

is about the Name, Gender, Date of Birth,

Relationship, Mobile Number, Email and Address of

the person. The initial aim of launching this project is

to prove the identity of residents of Indian which was

not very clear earlier. Later this project gained

momentum and then it was thought to link Aadhaar

number to various government schemes to boost

these schemes. Another purpose of this is to provide

benefits to those who deserve because there were

many fake identities who were misusing these

schemes. Aadhaar number is a great initiative of

Government of India as it is removing the fake

identities and ensuring credibility.

What is included in Aadhaar Card:

Biometric data i.e. Face, Finger prints, Retina.

Demographic data i.e. name, Age, Spouse/Husband

Name, Gender, Date of Birth, Mobile Number,

Address.

2. Purpose of Aadhaar Card

The purpose which an Aadhaar Card serves is the

proof of identity. It gives the complete detail of a

person and its residence. It removes duplicity as it is

embedded with unique features of a person like

fingerprints and retina which cannot be duplicated. It

maintains transparency of the data of the resident’s of

India. Aadhaar card is prepared after several

authentication and verification which leads to zero

error in the data base.

3. Literature Review

Knowlton & Whittemore, 2008 in their study

suggested that the government will use the

information to issue identity cards which will be

known as AADHAR CARD.

Akhil Mittal, Anish Bhart, Sanjoy Sahoo, Tapan K

Giri, 2011 in their study suggested that Aadhar Card

serves as a unique identity for person consisting of

which person’s finger print and retina scan. All over

the country it can be used to locate a person.

Gupta & Dhyani, 2013 in its study found that e- Voting model has been incorporated with AADHAR

CARD or Unique Identification (UID) card data base

using cloud. By doing so the ratio of polling will

increase and the process will be more authentic.

Sekhon, 2013 described that Age was determined

from the village panchayat office or with the help of

documents like birth certificate/ration

card/passport/aadhaar card.

Kale & E, 2014 told that the increase in the e- transaction needed accurate and fast user

identification and authentication. For ATM banking

systems an embedded fingerprint biometric

authentication is proposed by the author.

Kumari, 2014 states that Pradhanmantri Jan dhan

scheme will cover the poor and underprivileged.

Malpure et al., 2014 explained that Government of

India initiative Aadhaar card has served a great

purpose. It can be used as a valid document for

preparing other documents.

Roy, 2014 in its study found that the need for security

is increasing day-by-day and to meet this Aadhaar

Card has played an important role by resolving many

issues.

Velapure et al., 2015 in its study found that the

individuality with registration via aadhar number and

face recognition can provide tough security for the

secret information about vote.
