Description:

The UIDAI also believes that the verification process to get an Aadhaar should be simple and not prone to harassment and at the same time, be credible. As the main purpose of the Aadhaar is inclusion, especially of the poor, the verification process has to be formulated in such a manner that while it does not compromise the integrity of the inputs, it also does not result in exclusion of the poor. A Demographic and Data Field Verification Committee has been set up under the Chairmanship of Shri N. Vittal, the former Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) of India to address these issues. The Demographic Data Standards and Verification Procedure Committee submitted its final report on 9 December 2009. It was then submitted to Shri Nandan Nilekani, Ex Chairman, UIDAI. The Office Memorandum from the UIDAI accepting the report is attached herewith.
