New Delhi : Dalberg, released the State of Aadhaar: A People’s Perspective report today at India Habitat Center showing insights that can help drive a data-driven discourse on Aadhaar.
The survey captures the experiences and perspectives of over 167,000 households across 28 states and union territories, making it the largest primary dataset on the use of Aadhaar as claimed by the members involved in survey.
Omidyar Network MD Roopa Kudva sharing the motive behind Survey told that The study reveals how people experience Aadhaar, a universal identity program for all residents
in India how they get it, update it, and use it across various public and private services, as well as their broader sentiments and trust in its use. Additionally, the data show which aspects of Aadhaar are working and which are not.
The research is premised on the principle that the daily users of Aadhaar are best positioned to
provide valuable feedback about their lived experience – and therefore practical adjustments
needed to improve Aadhaar’s functioning.
The aim of this study is to augment efforts to move towards a more effective digital identity for
all residents of India who desire it.
