UIDAI Background
Unique identification project was initially conceived by the PlanningCommission as an initiative that would provide identification for each resident across the country and would be used primarily asthe basis for efficient delivery of welfare services. It would also actas a tool for effective monitoring of various programs and schemesof the Government.a) The concept of a unique identification was first discussed andworked upon since 2006 when administrative approval for theproject –"Unique ID for Below Poverty Line (BPL) families" wasgiven on 03 March 2006 by the Department of InformationTechnology, Ministry of Communications and InformationTechnology. This project was to be implemented by the NationalInformatics Centre (NIC) over a period of 12 months. Subsequently,a Processes Committee to suggest processes for updation,modification, addition and deletion of data fields from the coredatabase to be created under the Unique ID for below BPL projectwas set up on 03 July 2006. This was set up under the chairmanshipof Dr. Arvind Virmani, Principal Adviser, Planning Commission.b) A "Strategic Vision on the UIDAI Project" was prepared andsubmitted to this Committee by M/S Wipro Ltd (Consultant for thedesign phase and program management phase of the Pilot UIDAIproject). It envisaged the close linkage that the UIDAI would have tothe electoral database. The Committee also appreciated the need of a UIDAI Authority to be created by an executive order under theaegis of the Planning Commission to ensure a pan-departmentaland neutral identity for the authority and at the same time enable afocused approach to attaining the goals set for the XI Plan. TheSeventh Meeting of the Process Committee on 30 August 2007decided to furnish to the Planning commission a detailed proposalbased on the resource model for seeking its "in principle" approval.c) At the same time, the Registrar General of India was engaged inthe creation of the National Population Register and issuance of Multi-purpose National Identity Cards to citizens of India.d) Therefore, it was decided, with the approval of the Prime Minister,to constitute an empowered group of Ministers (EGoM) to collate thetwo schemes – the National Population Register under theCitizenship Act, 1955 and the Unique Identification Number project
