UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India)

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a government agency responsible for creating and managing the Aadhaar program, which issues a unique identification number to Indian residents. This number, linked to individuals' biometric and demographic data, serves as a universal ID to improve access to government services, reduce fraud, and promote financial inclusion. UIDAI ensures the security and privacy of this data while facilitating streamlined delivery of benefits and services across India.
