The document discusses India's Aadhaar identification system. It will issue a 12-digit unique identification number (UID) to all Indian residents, which can then be used to authenticate identity for services. The UID system aims to reduce duplicate and fake identities, simplify identity verification for services, and empower underprivileged residents with a singular recognized identity. It may help reduce corruption and make transactions like bill payment and document generation more paperless and efficient. The UID will be stored in a central database and can be accessed to retrieve an individual's records and reduce form-filling time and effort.
