How To Modify Aadhaar Card Address

In the year of 2009, the Aadhar program was launched with the objective of providing a universal identity to the Indian citizens. During the initial enrolment, people had to face a predicament with fingerprints and iris scanning due to technical faults but they were resolved later on. The enrolment doesn’t have any age bar from children to adults have to have Aadhar card if they want to be a permanent citizen of India. The twelve digit number that is provided to the people is based on the demographic and the biometric data. The department of UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India is responsible for collecting the data from across the country. It is under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The project has the largest biometric ID system across the globe. The first UID or Unique Identification Digit by UIDAI was on September 2010. Its main aim to produce such a number that cannot be duplicated at any cost by using cost-effective measures.

Aadhar has no means of making people aware of their rights duties and benefits. It is a random number that can start with any kind of a digit other than 0 or 1 and provides security and privacy to legal issues. In July 2014 Aadhar-enabled biometric systems were being installed in government office buildings to count the attendance of employees. It was an experiment basically. The system made use to check the late arrivals and the absenteeism of the government officials of all the classes. The status was uploaded on the website named attendance.gov.in. This is just an example of Aadhar experimentation when it was introduced there are many more.
