UIDAI Enrollments For Aadhar Biometric Card In India

BAJALI, INDIA - MARCH 13: An operator helps a woman scan her fingerprints for Aadhar, India's unique identification project on March 13, 2021 in Bajali, India. The Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This number is issued by taking a person's biometric details such as iris scan and fingerprints, and demographic information like date of birth and address. India's top court has ruled that the right to privacy is a fundamental right of every citizen of the country. The landmark verdict was in response to many petitions filed in courts questioning the validity of a government scheme to assign a unique biometric identity card to every individual.
