Hi all, I attended conference couple of months ago and there was a presentation from Director general of UIAI. There presentation highlighted the followings: 1. It is only going to be unique identity number and not a card. 2. It will only verify whether particular ID No. belongs to specified person. 3. It would be up to various government department for mandating unique ID no. It might be mandatory for beneficiaries of national rural employment guarantee scheme, etc. Hope this clearifies. Asif

Would you be ok if your religion or you caste were on the UID? What if you are a minority community living in a state like Gujarat and riots like the Godhra riots happened? Would you want to be easily identified based on your religion? My concern with disability being one of the parameters is something similar. I am sure this comes across as me being paranoid but I think that having disability as one of the parameters could lead to abuse of the information to the detriment of persons with disabilities. Vamshi, what you want is a multipurpose certificate of disability which you can use, at your option, I repeat, at your option to avail of benefits. I confess that I have not done much research into this area so please correct me if I am wrong. Cheers, Rahul On 17 April 2010 22:25, Vamshi.
