Please check the links posted by tryprasannan above and also https://rethinkaadhaar.in/ . All the savings numbers by the government are bogus claims. The poor continue to be affected by quantity and quality fraud when it comes to subsidized food entitlements. Aadhaar cannot solve that. It has added one more layer for corruption in many places instead.
