It is difficult to get UID. the path towards UID is not at all smooth. So many details required and it is time consuming. Still there are very few places where people can get it done. This would be dificult because with the kind of opulation we have giving a UID to everyone might take years. What do you think : Should more agencies be involved in issuing UID?

There are peole who do not have ration cards, voter IDs and now UID has come up. With the kind of process it has it is making things worse. There are some security loopholes involved and the process is slow. It whole procedure needs re-thinking. If not that atleast the registration should be made simple.

NOT MORE AGENCIES, BUT PROPER PLANNING IS NEEDED

The process adopted for UID is quite unsystematic and unplanned. Even if more and more agencies is engaged to accomplish the job of issue of UIDs the same cannot be completed even in a century's time, as that would not only create chaos, but also would fail to solve the problem, which they themselves are creating. Besides, that would involve uncontrolled expenditure in multiple contracts leading to more and more corruption and making hole in the pockets of the tax payers.

The present system gives an inkling as if it is an optional and voluntary process for the people to adopt, either to get or not to get the UID issued. Under this system even 50% of the public may not be covered due to various reasons, like what happens in voting by people during elections.

At first there is no proper system for spread of information amongst the population about where and for what period and from which to which working hours the UID's are issued. A few people, belonging to different parts of locality, who get information from their neighbourhood or friends go for the issue of UID. That results in to rush at some times and slackness at the other times.

2ndly, due to above reason, people of all areas are not likely to be covered due to optional and haphazard system.

3rd, there is no arrangement for any information system at the centres to guide people about their inquiries about what type of documents they need to bring with them for the UID. Several people had to return at least for one occasion when they are told that such and such ID paper is wanting on their part.

4th, there is no sitting arrangement and fans for the people during this scorching heat. They have to stand for hours together in queues outside the centre in wait of their turn.

Senior citizens, who cannot bear with standing continuously in queueseven for 5 to 10 minutes and that too under scorching heat conditions have to return back home without getting their UID. They get dejected from the system and several of whom are not likely to reappear for UID. For example I myself had to return after waiting for more than one hour and had to go the next day again. Even on the 2nd day, when I was unable to stand I had to sit on floor in between suffocation created by the crowd.

5th, persons, who are unable to get information from any source would never be able to get their UID.

6th, due to haphazard and unplanned system criminals would definitely evade from getting UID, as they won't prefer to get recorded their finger prints and eye scanning.

7th, people, particularly the labour force, who do not hold any ID would feel difficulty in getting their UID.

Thus, the whole sytem has become non-compulsory (voluntary at the discretion of people), complex, unplanned, unsystematic and tedious for the people to bear with,

SO, The only need is to get it completely planned and simplified to cover the whole population in shorter time in a systematic manner by covering each street, mohalla, road, pocket of sectors of the locality during some fixed intervals of time for each segment and not to keep open at the mercy of the people to appear or not to appear for the UID. The process can be accomplished even by the presently engaged agencies in shorter time, provided they are able to plan the process very sytematically.

To reach our population and that too efficiently, we definitelty need more agencies. How come the great IT expert Nilekeni didnt think of simplifying the process by taking it online, i wonder. They could have made a simple form to be filled online with PAN & Passport numbers for verificiation and then have the owner if the card collect it from his nearest public sector bank / post office after showing the relevant id.

Kavitha I agree with you completely on the subject. Unless the process is simple but accurate will take time in geting such an important identification device.

Yes.

Now a days, everyone (except people BPL) have a bank account. It can be made mandatory for people to register and have their UID to continue having and using the bank account. Counters can be setup in banks for this purpose. If a person has accounts in multiple banks it is ok, because the finger-print recognition system can weed out multiple entries by individuals. Many such similar institution can be roped in with counters set up for UID in each of their offices.

Yes, Kavitha, Nandan Nilekani should invite private players to speedy up the process, at least before the ensuing 2014 general election they should have covered the sizeable voting population to regulate various sectors in future.

The process seems to be too slow. I am residing on the outskirts of Hyderabad. This process has not yet been taken up in my area. To speed up the issue of these cards, more agencies need to be involved.

Dear Priyanka,

If it is tedious and less organized, won't it make more tedious and more disorganized by employing more agencies, rather than making the process simple and well organized?

Kavita why you need UID?  I have got my Ration Card,Pan,Passport,Voter ID to prove my Nationality. If Nilkani need these datas he can always get from the one from any of the above agency.  Why again I should furnish all my details at one spot & loose my privacy to the govt.agency, what is the gurantee that these datas r not misused? Did Govt. has assured against such act or compensation to us.

 

Existing arrangements is ok to collect datas on this futile exercise. Again involving private agencies, who are ready to jump into Frey  not only to earn the money to also make money to sell these datas to vested interest.  Let the existing agencies conduct the show. Thanks.

i think we are used to having too much brouhaha without anything concrete...............involving more agencies will only add to the complexity..............what is required is target-oriented approach by existing agency, which is not taking place................a quarterly performance review can speed up and help the cause taken up by Nandan and his men...........i wonder why they have not yet reached even major mid-tier cities like Thane where i stay by now..........it is only a mis-delegation issue..........

Its better to progress in controled way , we have already observed many elections without UID and can handle one more , but would not like that UID also comes in the category of other overnment identy cards which can be duplicated easily and not available with all Indians.
