Indian govt, like any other, provides a lot of subsidy to the needed. They have some programs and funds to do this. However, most of the funds don't reach people who need them. Why - too many middlemen, corruption, etc. Through this program they are trying to cut the middlemen or at least hoping to. Most other forms of ids can be faked, these possible in Bond movies but difficult in India. |

1) never forget Indian ingenuity to break systems. Jugaad is the proper term.
2) the data itself is being faked already. In this thread there is a first hand account of people going to villages and making duplicate UID cards. 2 separate cards for each hand.
3) data has already been lost and stolen
4)overlaps. The current system already has some thing like 1 million to .1 million overlaps from one set of calculations I recall. On top of that you have overlap everytime a new generation gets added to the database.
Do you want to be the person with a faulty card in india? Do you want to see what happens to poor people who have no access to the net?
