For what ?

For his suggestion for a Single ID Card, for businesses and individuals

Where did he say that ?

Here :

Piyush Goyal calls for single identification number  /  Indian Express / 23 Dec 2021

 

Extract :

Commerce minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday called for the creation of a single identification number for businesses and individuals in place of the existing system requiring several identification numbers, such as Aadhaar, PAN and TAN, to make services available more quickly.

 

“ Ideas like a single number are very logical. Right from Aadhaar, TAN, PAN and DIN number, we have so many numbers, can we not bring in something like an American social security number which covers so many things? ” Goyal said.

 

He added services like the DigiLocker and National Single Window System should be combined to reduce the need for unnecessary repetition of work for businesses.

How about a card to replace all the above-mentioned cards ?

 

 

       ( B.2 )   I am One , I will become Many………………………… [ 06 Jan 2020 ]

            

             Extract :

          At the beginning of TIME , the Creator said :

           एको अहम् बहुस्याम   “ I am One , I will become Many “

 

           In 21^st century, that “ Creator’s Desire “, seems to be playing out in the

          form of dozens of IDENTIFIERS that an Indian citizen needs during the life

           – notwithstanding the misery of  having to submit SAME

           DATA again and again , to various State Agencies

                       

           There are dozens of such IDENTIFIER CARDS

 

           How about making lives of Ordinary Citizen easy by having just ONE CARD

           to replace all these cards ?

           Time has come to dispense with all physical cards and merge all of those

           into , one VIRTUAL CARD

 

          How can the Central Government go about replacing ALL physical cards

          with just one VIRTUAL card ?

 

           If there is a “ Political Will “ ( - and followed by a one year long, debate

            with all sections of the society ), then I believe, more than one method /

            way , will emerge

           

           As long as the debaters keep in mind the most important aspect of any

           proposed method, viz :

           The method of “ merging “ of all identifiers  [ cards ] , must NOT require a

           citizen to fill up any FORM , online or offline

            

            Following is my suggestion :

 

                  Ø  Central Govt to launch an online portal called, www.SUIIC.gov.in

                      (  Single Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )

 

                        Ø  By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD

                            ISSUING AGENCIES to upload their “ Card Related Databases “

                             onto SUIIC web server and continue to do so DAILY for new

                             additions to their databases

 

                             

                         Ø   SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning - Big Data Analytics etc.,

                              to merge / collate all kinds of  structured / unstructured

                              databases pertaining to all kinds of Cards / unique

                              IDENTIFIERS, issued by any entity, to any citizen

 

                       These will include Mobile Service Providers and E Mail ID providers

 

                         Ø  This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each

                              citizen, and named :

 

                          YUP  ( Your Unique Profile )

 

                          YUP ( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE

                                   CARD which replaces all CARDS

 

                         Ø     YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC

                                 web server

 

                         Ø  Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ) ,

                             open it on his smart phone , enter his mobile number / E Mail ID

                             and take a SELFIE of his own FACE

                              

 

                         Ø  The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE

                             IMAGE onto SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that

                             person

 

                            

                         Ø  SUIIC will embed into the FACE PHOTO , all data of all the

                             CARDS ever issued to that person (using STEGANOGRAPHY )

                             and send it back to the owner’s mobile phone

                              

                         Ø  Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the

                             Cards / Identifiers which have  been embedded 

                             Touching any item, will reveal the actual Physical Card

  

                             This will enable that citizen to EDIT his personal data online and

                              click SUBMIT

 

                          Ø  Anytime required in future, that citizen can show that YUP photo

                              to any party

 

                          Ø  There will be no compulsion for any citizen to use YUP . He may

                               continue using his Physical Cards, if he so desires
