When Nandan Nilkeni was given the reigns of the mammoth task of creating a Unique Identification for each citizen of India, I was wondering if this would be one project were we indians could proudly tell about a really successful project which gave India & its citizens a new identity.
However, after seeing the absolute chaos today at the post office Aadhar center of Malleshwaram, I understand that this is also going to be a new hog wash. The Aadhar form barely has a few details, and doesn't come in an electronic form or an easy to carry form. Instead, it is a big almost A4 size long and about half as wide sheet which may or may not be laminated. This is your UID in the democratic india.
I was really expecting something much smaller, more technologically advanced and easy to use. I understand that when the government has to provide this free of cost, it is a huge burden on our treasury but after recent stint of scams and scandals i wonder how HUGE is really huge for our Treasury...
