New delhi: Recently, the bench of chief Justice SA Bobde and justice A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian  said that Cancelling 3 crore ration cards for not being linked with the Aadhaar database is very serious issue, as it has been connected to report starvation death in some states. It has came into consideration after filling many petitions.


From when Aadhaar has been in existence? Aadhaar has been in existence for more than A decade and over 90% of Indians projected population has been assigned the unique Aadhaar number. 

Unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) is mandated to assign a 12-digit-unique identification number to all the residents of India. 



Unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) was initially  set up by the UPA (United progressive alliance) government in January 2009 , as an attached office under the backing of the planning Commission. 

And in 2016 UIDAI was turned into statutory authority established by government of India, under the jurisdiction of the ministry of electronics and information technology. 

Where does Aadhaar mainly focus on?? It mainly focuses on five things:-

1:- Identity Not nationality 

2:- relentless inclusion ( spontaneous inclusion) 

3:- Right to privacy (as we give our biometric details to it) 

4:- technology

5:- financial literacy

What are the problems regarding Aadhaar? 

Person with disabilities (pwd) have to suffer to much problem as sum of them don't have  their hands of fingerprint and Iris for their biometric. 

There are many illegal immigrants also who have Aadhaar cards. 

The Bogus (fake) Aadhaar is the main issue.which are being used in many crimes. 

There is to much lack of awareness in people specially in rural areas. 

Biometric failure:- it is the biggest issue which is been faced by every labour or worker as he/she have to work to much with their hands as a result there finger print doesn't work at ration shop, and it leads to cancellation of his/her ration card. 

And the biggest issue which even I am facing is wrong spelling, and I am sure  you might have also faced this problem. 

Aadhaar helps us to avail various government and non government services easily. But the cancellation of 3 crore ration card is also the big concern of us. There is the more pain with little gain.
