institutional infrastructure to issue unique identity to residents of India. On June 25th 2009, the Cabinet approved the creation of the position of the Chairperson of the UIDAI, and appointed Mr. Nandan Nilekani as the first Chairperson with the rank of the Cabinet Minister. On August 3rd 2009, the Prime Minister constituted a Council under his chairmanship to advise the UIDAI and ensure coordination between the Ministries, Departments, stakeholders and partners. The Council will advise the UIDAI on the program, methodology and implementation to ensure this coordination.

Would it not be better to go door to door and register people, or use the already available database of the Election Commission, PAN, PDS etc?</strong> The UIDAI recognizes that the only way to uniquely establish identity of a resident is through the biometric attributes of each individual. The Authority will use registrars who may have basic demographic information of the resident, and confirm the relevant fields and seek biometric information for each resident while enrolling the resident for the UID. Upon collecting and de-duplicating the biometric information, a unique ID database can be created.<br /> <br /> There is no established database in the country that can serve the purpose of a Unique ID. The available databases act as a starting point to get a register of residents in place, but cannot do anything towards identity. Further, they exist in manual and varied electronic forms that do not allow for comparison or creation of an authentic database. The UIDAI is primarily using the partnership model to leverage the existing infrastructure of registrars, instead of creating something new and expensive  some registrars may use the door to door methodology and others may use other means. </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="5" align="center"></td> <td height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="images/qq.gif" width="12" height="12" /></td> <td class="leftlink"><a href="#mydiv7" rel="facebox" class="leftlink">Why should service providers such as banks and government agencies want to be Registrars?

There are other types of authentication which the registrar can choose for their use and which the UIDAI does not guarantee. Such authentication will be offline - the finger print is stored on a card issued by the Registrar for delivery of their services and can be authenticated against a finger scan.
