National identity card...

UID is a great initiative by the GOI. Sure awareness about it is very critical & am sure with a very capable person at it's helm it will be in his agenda of things.

Also this will help us eradicate multiple identity documents that we need to carry, corruption at some level, etc. etc.

I would wish GOI a great success

That is very true. It is a very important to have such a card. It is difficult to get it in India, looking at the population and the demographics.

I believe that either our PAN card or the Election card be converted in the Nation Identity card.

A national identity card will definitely help the country in every possible way.

yeah definatly...its a need of today..

I do not think that argument of not having basic needs, thus no card, stands well. I beleive that having such type of cards will directly or indirectly help in filling the gaps created by the system running till now.

I think this will solve many id proof problems.

Fully agreed with Mr. Sanjay. Every developed country have this type of arrangement for their citizen as well as residents. It will really help to carry one national identity card instead of separate card for licence, voter id, pan card etc. Thanks

It should be a smart card containing bio-database of a person.

This is very good idea and this card should serve the purpose of Ration card, Voter's card and all other purpose. We should actively support and work for this campaign.

Its not just a question of an Identity Card. The card will eliminate a number of other cards e.g Ration Card, Voters Card and so on. It will also serve as a proff of ID in banks. A smart chip can link it to the IT Dept, to the banks, employer and so on. It opens up a host of options. Manju, thanks for starting this debate! The "grey matter" has definitely been activated.

Mr.Ajay i agree with your point.National identity card is important and if possible all the important information can be present in it so that it eliminates the need to have ration card.licence etc.

I do agree with Mr.Phani.National I-card will certainly help in identity verification and also help our security officials to easily identify the fake or suspect persons.It can also eliminate the need to carry many other cards if we can have all the necessary details in a single national identity card.

Isn't this a good idea?

Mr. Dinesh i  completely in sync with you. If the government decides to have an identity card for every citizen of the country then there should be such a procedure that no one can make a fake i- card which will not solve the purpose for which we are doing this.Moreover an individual i-card will help in identifying suspicious people and it would ensure greater security in our country.

What do you say on this?

Mr.Sanjay i definitely agree with you. For the purpose of security in our country specially after seeing the frequency of terrorist attacks in our country it should be manadatory for all individuals including the VIPs to carry their identity card all the times.This would helps the security officials of our country to prevent the mishappenings by easily identifying the suspective persons. Also the I-card should be designed and coded in such a way that no one can copy it to make a fake one.

So lets encourage this idea through this platform to make our place a safer one to live in.

Yes i would also say that all the citizens of the country should have a separate national I- card which will help the country in every possible way.

I strognly support the idea. See my article on the 'National Identity System' posted under " Community and Social Affairs" 

In this paper,  I have suggested to introduce a National Identity card with an embedded intelligent chip with finger print and DNA mappring and database of all inhaitants in the country and a temporary card for the visiotrs.  With advance of technolgy, it is possible to computerise and centrally manage the information  which shall be accessible from any place from any computer with bluetooth, and has  access to the central data base over internet and to read  / modify the data in the chip card. 

It shall be also possible in due course to locate the person over GPS links and read the information in the chip.  

National Identity card holding each and every information about a person. Hmmm...sound interesting.

A National identity card - social security number should be made compulsory to get or do all kinds of job ,transaction. This will help the Government to keep track of every one.

As ANU said "A child born in INDIA should be given a social security number " I agree to it... Good idea Anu.

yes , it should have

Nilesh i agree with you that the exising PAN cards should be updated to national identity cards because it will also save government lots of money which they can spend in the upgradation of the economy and we will have a national I-card which will only help the country in a way we can easily identify suspicious people who wants to harm our country in one way or other.

so we should start a campaign to demand for the national I-card as soon as possible.

I am totally agree with you manju .Govt should favor this idea.

Hi Friends,

I would like to go with National Card, it helps us in many ways it can be an authentic proof of our nationality....... it will also reduce the Terror attacks...... as if anybody came from any different country then they should consider as our guest and also govt. should allot them some certain time period to live into a particular nation. Terrorist from any country have their own nationality card and by it they 'll not protest themselves as an India, although they were living from many days in Mumbai and aware with all the roots/roads.

So, from my point of view this very good Idea, even Dr. Kiran Bedi suggest the same this......I am totally with you.......KEEP IT UP !!!

I support the logic behind it, but the problems are as follows:

• not everyone has all the required documents in place (like everyone does not have a passport)
• carrying the card always is problematic; it may get lost or stolen
• the whole process would take a hell lot of time and spend a huge amount of money
• social security, free helathcare, compulsory education: all these are more important than making this card (but it may act as beneficial in ensuring these services to all)

HI MANJU,

I DULLY SUPPORT UR IDEA OF ONE CARD. YA SURELY THATS AN GREAT IDEA OF HAVING ONE CARD INSTEAD OF KEEPING DRIVING LICESENCE, PAN CARD, PASSPORT N OTHER IMPORATNT DOC SEPERATELY. AND IT WILL ALSO HELP IN CREATING TRANSPIRACEY, AND HELPFUL TO TRACK THE EXPIRATES ALSO.

REGARDS,

TIRATH MEWAR

Identity Card is one solution to many problems. But this should be one comprehensive card, which will replace Pass Port, Driving Licence, Pan card, Voter's card etc... I suggest some features of the card.

1.It will have card holder's blood group, contact person's details, emergency phone numbers, health history etc.

2.The card will have 2 sets of information. One information which is visible to all refering the,. Second information electronically coded and will be read after decoding (like RFID or Bar Code Reader). This information can not be tampered with.

3.This card will solve to a great extent, problems of citizenship of dubious origin.

Yes I also want that or something like that to happen.

But there are some evil powers who do not want this to happen(This is important to know)

1) 100s of Illegal immigrants come into India from Bangladesh everyday.

2) ISI is actively operating from Bangladesh now to help people to get into India to change the demographic condition of ASSAM and Westbengal west( Recent event is Pakistani flag hoasting in few part of ASSAM where now HINDUS are minorities and MUSLIMS from BD are mejority)

3) West Bengal Marcsist govt is helping immegration and giving out ration cards and other docs to BD migrants to build up their NON HINDU vote bank in electric speed)

4) A lot of Drug Mafias are active in bordering region with West Bengal.

How to solve such problems when our insiders are destroying us and selling our integrity in the hands of those who are motivated and determind to destroy us.

In all West Bengal border areas in Madrasas they hang a poster "WAITING for GAZNAVI"

find the meaning:

1) Liberate INDIA from the clutches of HINDUS.

2)Pakistan test fires their new Missile GAZNAVI.

Our life is in modern India but what about nex generations? They will pay for our legacy?

I share the same views with Raja Murugan. I am at UAE and it has been introduced here in mid-2008 and is being implemented here gradually and effectively. It is must and effective

I support Malathi's views strongly

National ID is suppose to replace all those cards!! So its good to have 1 Card for many!

National Identity Card !!! Thats a wonderful idea. By issuing this, to every citizen of India, all other cards can be replaced. It can also help in preventing terrorism, crimes etc. Most of the countries have the system of National Identity, we should also introduce this in our country.

the identity card should be issued from kashmir to kanya kumari across the country and the job should be given to ngos and not the government official

THE INFORMATION CAN EASYLY BEEN REGISTERED AT THE TIME OF PREPARATION OF "EPIC" (ELECTRORAL pphoto identity card) CARD BY GOVT. OF INDIA WITHOUT ANY EXTRA EXPNDITURE

THE INFORMATION CAN EASYLY BEEN REGISTERED AT THE TIME OF PREPARATION OF "EPIC" (ELECTRORAL pphoto identity card) CARD BY GOVT. OF INDIA WITHOUT ANY EXTRA EXPNDITURE

This is one of the hottest topics on the young indians at this moment. I put this issue up on www.iamindia.net.in and it was one of the most voted topics amongst 100s of issues raised.

I do support this wonderful idea.  Instead of birth certificate to a child a National Identity Card can be issued which carries all vital information and it can be used as ONE AND ONLY CARD substituting PAN CARD, RATION CARD , DRIVING LICENSE, BIRTH CERTIFICATE, NATIONALITY VERIFICATION, etc.  But strict rules to be followed during the issue to stop the malpractice.  IT SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE FACILITY OF BIOMETRICS to reduce duplication.

my full support to mr. bhardwaj...

I am totally in favour of a national identity card... though I am a British citizen now, I always wondered why it took so long to introduce even photo electoral cards throughout India (I believe it still not implemented all over India) irrespective of the amount of malpractices happens during the election, a vital factor in a democratic society..

UK government is planning to introduce a national identity card (though there is lot of protest from opposition parties)..this card will carry lots of vital, life saving informations, such as blood group, etc..it also can act as one point verification documentation for all registrations, such as voters, ration card registration, car license, etc ( ie., the national indentify  card can also used as proof of residency)

Moreover, I guess everyone is forgetting about the number of illegal immigrants arrive to India, from Bangladesh, Nepal, etc...this number exceeds in lakhs per year ( almost double the amount of legal immigrants to UK and USA)...if National Identity Cards are issued, then this will curb influx of illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries ( some of these guys harbour terrorism in India as well)..

BUT, prior to introducing these cards, India must strengthen its borders and immigration control.  It’s disheartening to know that no one in India takes illegal immigration seriously; these illegal immigrants not only swindle the wealth of the nation, but some of them also assist terrorists groups, utilising their non-status to their advantage, since we have very informations about them...

Considering all the above, it is my strongest belief that if implemented properly, a national indemnity card, will be very beneficial for the country and its inhabitants.

Dear Readers,

We are born liberal with dignity n responsibility.  If we belong to this country than its a privelige that we assume our reponsibilty of honesty of furnishing our identification data and as India has been known to be the superpower for computer software industry we should demostrate it.  This data cud be useful to citizines to procure his certificate of citizenship anywhere n also help demographically perhaps with lots of brain-drain this cud be a ideal asset for undermining n recognising or helping this info for all purpose as they shuld make a unique card that culd be useful as an Multipurpose Citiziens National Card. It cud serve for Record, Helath, Insurance, Legal, Income, Patent n others.  This cud shuld be a recognised for all purpose as even a hitech card which contains.  A day is not far that so called India superpower will recognise this system and the citizines will move ahead in liberty of our constitution.  Let us be guided by our best trational regilious books the Vedas, gitas and saints n  poets.  Its only this blessed can do great prosperity which had done millions of years ago.  No fundamentalism will move than then a rich planned thoughts which our great sages and kings did in this land.  If this has ispired the holy persons why not our blessed good men.  Come go ahead with ur good work and dont look for the rewards says Bhagwadgita.  Go friends with ur good work of doing this which could help millions and make unhappy those who r fradulent.  May the land bless your endeavours n the country India. Swaraj!
