Will the Minister of ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY be pleased to state:
(a) the number of people enrolled for AADHAR identification out of the total tribal population in the country, State/UT-wise; and
(b) the steps taken by the Government to expand the official identification net of tribal population?
and (b): As per Regulation 4(6) of Aadhaar (Enrolment & Update) Regulations 2016, “The demographic information shall not include race, religion, caste, tribe, ethnicity, language, record of entitlement, income or medical history of the resident”.
Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) collects only the following demographic details at the time of enrolment for Aadhaar:
1. Name, 2. Date of birth, 3. Residential address and 4. Gender.
Hence, the required information is not maintained by UIDAI.
