Unique ID for Indians! A dream coming true

As someone who has spent time thinking how to solve problem of Unique Patient ID that can be transferred across healthcare providers in India, I am overtly delighted that the Government of India is listening!

Now that GoI has listened and proposed to issue Unique Citizen ID from 2010 we should wait and see how it will actually bring the concept to implementation especially in rural India.

The first time I wished that India should have an UID system was when I learnt of NRIC system in Singapore way back in 1995.

Better late than never! Welcome Unique ID. It helps avoid submitting various docs for identity proof. It will also help us push for voting mobility due to the Unique ID being truly unique for each voter?!!
