Aadhaar

To facilitate this Aadhaar-mobile linking for users, especially senior citizens, the government is trying to come up with alternate solutions - including proxy authorisation.

These centres will be equipped with machines approved by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and employ agency-trained personnel to carry forth the Aadhaar-related procedures seamlessly.

From Aadhaar-enabled entry to biometric boarding systems, the rationale behind the move is to transform it into the country’s first smart airport.

The UIDAI is allowing Aadhaar card holders to place requests to update details including the registered address, name, date of birth, mobile and email address.

In an attempt to create a more seamless boarding experience, the government is trying to promote technology and bring down the cost of security personnel deployment, an official said.

To render the m-Aadhaar as identity proof, the passenger has to open the app and enter his/her password.

The concept of a no-fly list comes from the United States of America where the federal government terrorist-screening centre maintains a list of people who are barred from boarding commercial flights in and out of America and even over its airspace.

This is one among the many initiatives pushed by Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) inching towards an employee-friendly sphere.

By digitally locking the biometric details, the system won't let anyone access the data unless unlocked by the Aadhaar holder.

This app lets you carry all your Aadhaar card information on your smartphone, which will have all the demographic details available for you.
