National Digital Identity (India)

India's National Digital Identity, known as Aadhaar, is a unique identification system that provides each Indian resident with a 12-digit number linked to their biometric and demographic details. It serves as a universal ID for accessing various government and private services, promoting transparency and efficiency. Aadhaar simplifies processes like opening bank accounts, filing taxes, and applying for subsidies by verifying identity securely online. It aims to create a streamlined digital infrastructure, reducing fraud and ensuring that services reach the right individuals effectively, while maintaining privacy and data security standards.
