UIDAI

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.

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.

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.

Entering into an MOU with India post, UIDAI has propelled this facility under which updates about Aadhaar can be accessed at post offices.

Many services are now intrinsically linked to Aadhaar in India. Yet the system's implementation remains patchy, particularly for biometric verification. In a letter to the Prime Minister, a senior Indian citizen points out some of the existing problems and suggests solutions.

Some 5000 techies, tech enthusiasts, students, and professional hackers from all across India participated in the Aadhaar hackathon to come up with brilliant new uses for the Aadhaar card.
