Bangalore, Jan 3: The Bangalore chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the UPA government to immediately accord cabinet sanction to continue the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) project beyond 200 million enrolments to enable the scheme to reach the vulnerable sections of society.
''As UIDAI project is getting very popular and over 60,000 operators have been certified and a lakh support staff are deployed on UID process, the process of enrolment should not be pulled out or stalled,” BCIC President Vinod Nowal said.
In a press release, he said BCIC feels the savings on this account would be immense and would help stressed financial resources to reach desired people.
BCIC Senior Vice President M Lakshminarayan said the UIDAI project should continue in the overall interest of the nation as it would augment the uplift of BPL strata which is still left out of the inclusive growth.
