Aadhaar Good Governance Portal To Streamline Approval Process
New Delhi: The government has launched Aadhaar Good Governance portal to streamline approval process for authentication requests.
This is in sync with an effort to make Aadhaar more people-friendly, enable ease of living, and enable better access to services for people, according to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
S Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, highlighted that with the launch of this platform and continuous improvement of other processes and systems around it, “we hope to expedite the process of adding more use cases in the domain of good governance and ease of living”.
According to Bhuvnesh Kumar, CEO, UIDAI, Aadhaar is facilitating the growth of India’s digital economy.
He said Aadhaar is an enabler of good governance, and resident centricity is the focus of UIDAI.
“The Aadhaar good governance portal has been developed to facilitate ease of submission and approval proposals by entities in accordance with the prescribed rules,” Kumar noted.
Aadhaar is considered as the most trusted digital ID in the world. In the past decade, more than a billion Indians have expressed their trust in Aadhaar by using it to authenticate themselves over 100 billion times.
Expansion of the scope of Aadhaar authentication, as envisaged in the amendment, will further improve ease of living and facilitate hassle-free access to newer services of their choice.
The amendment enables both government and non-government entities to avail Aadhaar authentication service for providing various services in the public interest for related specific purposes like enablement of innovation, spread of knowledge, promoting ease of living of residents and enabling better access to services for them.
This will help both the service providers as well as the service seekers to have trusted transactions, said the ministry.
The portal would work as a resource rich guide, and offer detailed SOP for authentication seeking entities on how to apply and how to onboard for Aadhaar authentication.
