MINISTER OF STATE FOR PLANNING, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY AND
EARTH SCIENCES (DR. ASHWANI KUMAR)
(a) & (b): The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)
has been mandated to generate and assign Aadhaar numbers to 600 million
residents of India by 2014. The implementation of the Unique Identification
project needs flexibility to enrol residents across the country. To achieve
this, the UIDAI has implemented the Aadhaar project through a Partnership model
with various Central/State/UT Government, Public Sector Undertakings and Private
agencies. The Registrars plan the enrolment related activities, which include
the scope of coverage, the number of enrolment stations and the time frame by
which they can cover the Population. UIDAI has not prescribed any State
specific/region specific enrolment targets.
