UIDAI, ISRO ink pact to develop 'Bhuvan-Aadhar'

The aadhaar-Issuing body, Unique Identification Authority Of India, (UIDAI) has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Remote sensing Centre, ISRO for technical collaboration.

 

 

The MoU was signed by Shailendra Singh, IFS, Deputy Director-General, UIDAI, and Dr. Prakash Chauhan, Director, NRSC in the presence of the CEO, UIDAI, and other senior officers of UIDAI and NRSC.

 

Under the pact, NRSC will develop a 'Bhuvan-Aadhar' Portal providing information and the Location of Aadhar centers across India. The Portal also provides a facility to search the relevant Aadhaar centers by location, based on residents' requirements.

 

 

 

NRSC will also provide a web-based portal to collect and store data pertaining to existing and new enrolment centers to improve citizen-centric services by carrying out regular statutory inspections. Collected data will be moderated for quality through approved authorities at the regional level to ensure the precise information for residents about the centers along with an online visualization facility.

 

Bhuvan will facilitate complete geographic information storage, retrieval, analysis, and reporting for Aadhaar centers, with a high-resolution backdrop of natural-color satellite images. UIDAI and NRSC are closely working out the modalities of design, integration, and rollout on priority. UIDAI has, so far, issued Aadhaar numbers to more than 132 crore residents and facilitates over 60 crore residents who have updated their Aadhaar.
