India has implemented the largest biometric identification program in the world. Called Aadhaar or “foundation” in Hindi, the program will manage and collect biometric data on an estimated 600 million people, or about half of India's population, by March 2014. This paper will argue that the socioeconomic dynamics in India supports this program on issues including; privacy, security, and the potential and implications of compromised data. This biometric identification program integrates fingerprints, iris scanning and facial photography. The program streamlines the process of validating documented citizens, establishes numerical identities for previously unidentifiable or impossible-to-identify residents, and helps track worker migration. Government payments are now linked directly to welfare recipients and will also conceptually reduce factors such as corruption and profiteering that regularly prevent aid from reaching hungry citizens. The topic will outline the use of biometrics, an ICT focused on human biological data. This landmark Indian program has deep cultural significance as it connects and legitimizes millions of unidentified or undocumented citizens, as well as creating the largest biometric database ever created. Additionally, many program participants were not given the opportunity or were denied the ability to vote, enroll in sponsored aid programs, establish banking relationships, and even bequeath property due to incomplete or missing identification. (Tewery, 2013) In essence, millions of citizens will be recognized and integrated, guaranteeing them economic and political inclusion that they would otherwise not be able to access. The program is on track to cover 600 million citizens under India's welfare program... mid-paper... identifiable identity, will prove to be an invaluable tool for tracking labor migration and will give millions of the poorest of the 'India has an advantage. The fear and skepticism advanced by critics has not resonated with Indian citizens and has had little negative effect. My opinion on the performance of Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India, is very high. I think he is extremely qualified for this undertaking and hindsight has shown that he was the right man for the job. He also showed enormous personal interest in the welfare of the people of India by personally contributing tens of millions of dollars to welfare programs. Another commendation for this huge project is that it remained on track to collect 600,000,000 documents by March next year. So far the program is keeping its promises and its objectives have been achieved.
