Bill Gates keen to partner India's Unique ID Project

 Microsoft, the world's largest software company, is keen to partner India in a project to issue Unique Identification to each citizen, its chairman Bill Gates said on July 24.

"Microsoft wants to be part of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) project," he said here at a joint event with Nasscom.

Gates will meet UIDAI chairman, Nandan M Nilekani, who was till recently co-chairman of the country's second largest software exporter, to take the possible association forward.

Nilekani had only on July 23 assumed charge of UIDAI and expressed confidence that his team would be able to roll out the first set of identity numbers within 12-18 months. 

The project would serve as an enabling infrastructure for other identification schemes and will conform to different applications.

The Authority would not be issuing any biometric cards by itself, but the database created by it would help government agencies undertake that task.

The UID number would help the Government in identifying targeted beneficiaries for various welfare scheme and departments, based on their needs, could use the number.

The main aim of the UID, according to Nilekani, was to avert the need for multiple proof of identity for citizens while availing any Government service, or for private needs such as opening bank accounts or seeking telephone connections.

  1. Many binary operations are rippers. I invested about $20,000 then i decided to withdraw after several week but the withdrawal wasn’t successful, then I tried to contact the binary operation email and phone number, but got no response from them that was when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never hear from them again that was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earn money is gone.
