Our resources on Aadhaar

Aadhaar, the unique biometric identification project of UIDAI has been at the center of many debates since its inception. Among other things, concerns have been raised regarding privacy, and security of the sensitive biometric data of residents of the country. As a part of our digital privacy project, we have been tracking Aadhaar and its related developments, analysing the Aadhaar Act, 2016, creating time-line of the scheme, following the judicial orders, and pending litigations, along with cataloging the violations of the Supreme Court’s orders dated 11th August, and 15th October, 2015.

Following is the consolidated list of our blog posts, and opinion pieces around the Aadhaar scheme:
