In a recent news, it is said that, Yahoo and Cisco are expressing interest in India’s UID Project. It is a project in which every Indian citizen would have one unique identification number that will identify him/her. It would not just help the government track down individuals as is highlighted by the media, but would make life far easier for citizens as they would not have to submit so many documents each time they want to avail a new service—private or government. Nandan Nilekani has announced this project and has been analysing its impact as well on various industries and players.

There are other technology players like Cisco and Intel who have expressed their interest in this project. The reason for this is the fact that this project is massive by every sense of the term. The UID is estimated to offer a Rs 15,000-20,000 crore opportunity to computing, database, smartcard and storage vendors, besides systems integrators. For every rupee of IT spend on the UID project, industry experts estimate, around 60 per cent of the spending will go to hardware vendors.

So, according to you, how other technologies can collaborate with UID to make it a success?

Database of a search engine

idea posted by sumitra dutta Consultant, XYZ

Yahoo recently has expressed interest in UID project and in that regard it can take Yahoo's help in getting user database...The UID project needs a huge database. It can use Yahoo's, expertise in handling huge amount of data. They can use Yahoo's huge user database for getting user information as till now yahoo was the no.1 email service provider in India...And what better place than a search engine, Similarly there is news that Google is also interested in UID project, so technologies which run on internet will really help with the data that one will have.

The ideas were asked for "how other technologies can collaborate with UID to make it a success?". Except Sumitra, all others who have participated in this went on explaining how UID project will be of great benefit. I am surprised to see so many techies did not understand what was asked.

Any way, I agree with Sumitra, Yahoo, google and similar technologies which run on internet will help.

Add your argument:

Elimination and Cost saved on Rashon Cards, Voters card, etc

idea posted by Satwinder Singh Program Manager, Confidential

If we have a consolidated UID, there is no requirement left for Rashon cards, Voters card, Even Licence can be integrated.. , And identification of a person and his citizenship remains handy and explorable.

Secret Agencies can run a lot better with this DB..

Connnectivity among the various points in India

idea posted by karthik Tester, Excelacom Technologies

When the unique identification authority comes to effect, The details of the individuals such as fingerprint,photos would be collected at their local places and stored. But it need to be connected to the main server which maintains the overall data of all the individuals. Its like taking packets of information from various places in india and connected and stored to a place. So the connectivity between these points place a major role and suitable technology should support either by means of direct wire connection or wireless

Faster search, Preceision and long lasting chips along with the coordination between the government departments helps a lot. The unique identity with no hassles the dream that is gonna be true!

The card vendors, electronic printers, designers(less influence on them), hand held device manufacturing units (we need lotta stuffs like that in the future), even the laptop manufacturers (with provision to read this card) will be benefited by this card.
