HUMAN RESOURCE SOLUTIONS FOR AADHAAR LOOPHOLES

 

AADHAAR is a card consisting of a unique 12-digit number, generated after scanning a person biometrically i.e. fingerprints and retina scan. It also includes address of the holder overleaf and a QR code which can be scanned digitally. Any individual, irrespective of age and gender, who is a resident of India, may voluntarily enrol to obtain Aadhaar number. Person willing to enrol has to provide minimal demographic and biometric information during the enrolment process which is totally free of cost. An individual needs to enrol for Aadhaar only once and after deduplication only one Aadhaar shall be generated, as the uniqueness is achieved through the process of demographic and biometric de-duplication. The government of India has launched a unique identity system (UID) through AADHAAR card in order to deliver various benefits to the citizen of India, including the LPG subsidy, MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) wages, PDS (Public Distribution System) subsidy, etc.

 

But since every rose has its thorns. Even AADHAAR has its downsides.

 

  • Foreign Handling of the data – As Aadhaar Project is being handled by private companies who won the round of auctions. The project is also set to entertain Foreign Companies in terms of research and development. Such a step might lead to data erosion to the foreign body which in the hindsight will compromise the privacy of the individuals of India.
  • Problems Arising due to Centralization – As the Unique Identification Scheme is governed by the supreme authority of the nation, there might arise problems pertaining to the centralization of it.

  • Individual Information may be Compromised – Aadhaar based identification record the biometrics of a person with uniquely associated 12-digit numerical. It is also linked with the bank accounts and the voter ID credentials as we discussed up above in the advantages squadron. This bit of private individual information may be compromised if handled otherwise. This stands as a big risk going forward with the Aadhaar card.
  • Misuse in Banking Transactions – Aadhaar based identification will give way to a new banking transaction where Aadhaar Identification will be used in lieu of ATM, Debit or Credit Cards. This bit will help out to reach the financial transaction to a mass of people but cites in a few disadvantages too. Such identification can be used to forge the transaction and endure loss to many.
  • Uneasy nature of Usage – Although Aadhaar based identification will prove to be a hit, in the long run, the current trend says otherwise. In a mass of population where illiteracy and rural lifestyle are still burgeoning around, using Aadhaar card can be a tricky thing to be negotiated. Many still find using Aadhaar Card and its mirage of offerings as one of the ban rather than as a boon for the nation. Only when the population is able to cope with the usage of Aadhaar Card can that be named as successful enough. Until then, we could cite this as a disadvantage.
  • Biasness in tracking income- In imposing the Aadhaar, the government keeps track of every single paise earned by the citizen and on another hand, political parties can receive funds anonymously through electoral bonds and the politicians are exempted from being tracked.
  • Too rigid - Not being able withdraw provident fund or other retirement fund of a deceased relative because due to Aadhaar, fingerprints are required for the same.

 

The agenda of the solution presented to the problem in hand will be as follows:

 

A)- To increase usability and easiness without compromising privacy of an individual.
B)- Come-Up with your innovative plan to Increase reach of ADHAAR & completely cover India's Population especially in remote parts of country where technology access is nil. 
C)- Make ADHAAR’s financial model to be a self-sustaining & independent, so that it can help to fund its own development projects, technologies enhancements, R&D, etc without being government dependent.
D)- Restructure current ADHAAR HR Policy to avoid fraudulent activities done due to loopholes in recruitment process and presence of mischievous elements.
