Unlike other parts of the country, AADHAR cards for residents of Assam will be linked to National Register of Citizens, which is the data base of citizens, as the state is facing the problem of illegal migrants. The AADHAR number is proof of residence only and not citizenship.
"The AADHAR enrolment exercise here would be government-driven. It is going to be different than other states," a source said.
The unique identification project is an initiative of the Planning Commission to provide identification for each resident across the country. This brand name of this 16-digit number of the unique identification number (UID) is Aadhaar. The objective is to issue every resident a UID linked to the resident's demographic and biometric information, which they can use to identify themselves anywhere in the country and to access a host of benefits and services.
