Nandan Nilekani, shows concern about of the UID project.
The chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Nandan Nilekani
Who quit Infosys for this project, shows concern about privacy of the National Unique Identification (UID) project.
Time and again, he has emphasized that the project could lead to privacy violations. For instance, he said in March of this year and I quote from an msn.com article: "We are also conscious of the privacy issue. In fact the UID database cannot be read by anybody. The only thing you can use it for is authentication. We are making all efforts technically and legally to see privacy is protected," Nilekani, a former Infosys co-founder, told IANS in an interview.
"At the same time we need a larger debate of privacy and what laws we need in
the country. Today we don't have any privacy laws," said Nilekani .
It is an open question whether the UID will help us or will be more like a millstone tying them irrevocably to their past.
