Mittal added that the Public Private Partnership is an important enabler for realizing the vision of transformed, citizen-centric governance and NASSCOM is building a close partnership with the government and UIDAI to achieve this vision.
The integration of Aadhaar with various resident-centric schemes will help in establishing identity of the individual, improve efficiency and transparency, and ensure the delivery of service itself.
The UIDAI has been closely working with Central Government Ministries and State Governments to facilitate integration of Aadhaar with various citizen-centric schemes and services. Further, there is a need to sensitize the various services-delivery agents (governmental and non-governmental organizations) to integrate Aadhaar for delivering their resident-centric services, the release added.
