Having initiated the ambitious task of assigning every citizen of the country a unique identity number, the Unique Identification Authority of India is confident of generating the largest database in the world.
Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India, Nandan Nilekani, told The Indian Express the authority aims to create online authentication of every person in the country, something which will be another first in the world to its credit.
This, the authority aims at achieving, through deduplication of database created by documenting the iris of both eyes and fingerprints of every individual in the country. This will be done with by using biometrics, which will ensure that no data is duplicated, said Nilekani, who was here to attend the convocation of Thapar University on Saturday, where he was also conferred with the degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa).
