WHY AADHAR

• To clean up existing databases, to remove duplicates and fakes

• Universal identity infrastructure over the registrars and agencies across the country

• An identity proof even for poor and under-privileged population

• Offer online authentication services that can be used across India (KYC)

cricket stadiums, shopping malls and more for the purpose

of high security

SECURITY ASPECTS

• All others information as mentioned above would be linked through internet and data would be stored in a centralised database.
