The state government, which has teamed up with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), plans on collecting the information from November 1, and hopes to finish early next year. This programme will be called “ADHAR”.

Conceived by the Union Planning Commission, the UID will be given to each resident across the country. It will be used primarily as the basis for the efficient delivery of state welfare services.

The UID will also act as a tool for effective monitoring of state programmes and schemes. The Centre will give the state government a grant of Rs 50 each for the first 10 crore registrations. The remaining expenditure will be borne by the state government. The state government will give Rs 100 each for registering more than four crore people below poverty line.
