Technology for "BHARAT"

As a nation, we must use Technology. I strongly believe that the National Unique ID project can be leweraged to a far extended purpose than the use it is being till now. The same must be used in all IT returns, all the government dealing, be it at state level or at the Central Levels, all Legals issues, all subsidies and for all investements and subsidies and anywhere there is a Database. It should be used in railway reservation and for opening of bank accounts, taking loans etc. This way, the Authorities can track the movements of individuals, flow of money and then target various welfare to the deserving people. Only people with lessser income and below proverty line should be given benefits of all types of reservations in educational institutes and in government jobs till a specified time frame. The tracking of people movement though the national id would allow the government to plan for civic and economic activities in area, which require developments. It would also help in national security, as the government would know, where the people are moving and also help in a little way in tracking criminals and absconding people. The national identity project should be made multi dimensional and should be used by government also to generate additional revenue by selling certain portion of data to advertisers. This would enable the companies to target coonsumers in a better way and for the government to recover the cost of the project.
