Source: <\/strong>This post is created based on the article \u2018We Should And Can Improve Aadhaar\u2019,<\/strong> published in Business Standard <\/strong>on 16th<\/sup> October 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPSC syllabus Topic<\/strong>: GS Paper 2, Government policies for various sectors<\/p>\n

News: <\/strong>The article discusses the critical analysis provided by Moody\u2019s report on Aadhaar. Government has issued many objections against the report.<\/p>\n

The report stated that 17% failure rate in Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) transactions from 2014-2018 was due to biometric issues, with a total transaction failure rate of 34%.<\/p>\n

It also highlights cultural and logistical challenges, such as the reluctance to use iris scanners and the higher cost of these devices.<\/p>\n

What are the issues associated with Aadhaar Project?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Biometric authentication<\/strong>, especially fingerprint recognition, is often unreliable for manual laborers whose fingerprints may be unclear due to their work.<\/p>\n

This unreliability<\/strong> leads to transaction failures, impacting financial inclusion efforts and the efficient delivery of direct benefit transfers (DBT).<\/p>\n

Centralized ID systems like Aadhaar are vulnerable to security breaches<\/strong>, raising privacy concerns. There is a need for continuous improvements in cybersecurity measures, because absence of past breaches doesn’t guarantee future safety.<\/p>\n

What are the initiatives launched by government to tackle the issues with aadhaar project? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

UIDAI launched the Innovative solutions like face-based authentication, and the use of blockchain technology for secure, privacy-focused authentication in systems like DigiYatra.<\/p>\n

These innovations aim to reduce dependency on fingerprint or iris recognition, offering more accessible and culturally acceptable alternatives.<\/p>\n

What is the solution?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is a need for promoting a balanced view of digital identity systems. Challenges should be acknowledged but emphasize should be given to the potential and achievements of Digital India initiative.<\/p>\n

Considering India’s vast population and diverse needs, country’s approach to digital identity and security is a work in progress, which requires adaptive strategies and innovations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
