Biometrics has seen some major advancements in the last 10 years. Finger printing and other techniques are adopted by various countries to collect the information of their citizens and the visitors.
India's UID (Unique identification Program) is supposed to be the largest deployment of the biometrics solution. This program will provide an unique ID card (called Aadhar) to approx. 1.2 billion people!. Hats off to the folks who conceived idea and building the solution.
Nandan Nilekani, who spearheaded the UID got significant recognition from the Congress party, which has nominated him to contest in the upcoming parliamentary elections during April 2014.
