Aadhaar Nir-Aadhaar!
The Indian Supreme Court ruled today that the Aadhaar card is not required for availing any social benefit schemes of the government. However, the court has allowed centre to link the Aadhaar card the Public distribution system and LPG.
Originally envisioned as a sort of Indian version of Social Security card, to eventually replace PAN Card (Income Tax), Voter Identification Card, Ration Card, etc., Aadhaar was the brain child of Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani.
This decision by the Apex Court renders the Aadhaar – meaning Base, quite Nir-Aadhar – baseless.
