Project leader: Nandan Nilekani has been chosen to lead the ambitious project




India is planning to provide its 1.1 billion-plus citizens with ID cards.

Entrepreneur, Nandan Nilekani has been chosen to lead the ambitious project which will be the second largest citizens' database in a democracy, with China being the biggest.

The government believes the scheme, which will be finalised over three years, will aid the delivery of vital social services to the poorest people who often lack sufficient identification papers.

It also sees the scheme as a way to tackle increasing amounts of identity fraud and theft and, at a time of increased concern over the threat of militant violence, to boost national security and help police and law officials.

Like Britain's £5billion ID cards plan, due to roll out in 2011/12, India's scheme is not without controversy.

Observers have raised questions including how the cards will actually improve the delivery of services and also concerns that the scheme could be disruptive.

In an interview in The Independent today associate fellow of the Asia programme at Chatham House, Charu Lata Hogg, said: 'It cannot be denied that the system of proving identity in India is complicated and confusing.

'But a system of national ID cards can technically introduce a new route to citizenship.

'This could be used as a security measure by the government which leaves migrant workers, refugees and other stateless people in India in limbo without access to public services, employment and basic welfare.'

India is planning to provide its 1.1 billion-plus citizens with ID cards.

印度正在计划为他的11亿多公民提供身份证。

Entrepreneur, Nandan Nilekani has been chosen to lead the ambitious project which will be the second largest citizens' database in a democracy, with China being the biggest.

企业家Nandan Nilekani被选择来开展这项伟大的计划，这将是民主国家中仅次于中国的第二大的公民身份数据库。

The government believes the scheme, which will be finalised over three years, will aid the delivery of vital social services to the poorest people who often lack sufficient identification papers.

政府相信，这项耗时三年以上的计划会有助于那些缺少身份证明的最穷的人获得重要的社会公益服务。

It also sees the scheme as a way to tackle increasing amounts of identity fraud and theft and, at a time of increased concern over the threat of militant violence, to boost national security and help police and law officials

由于人们越来越担心遭到暴力袭击，政府还把这项计划视为解决不断增加的身份欺诈与偷盗，同时提升国家安全以和帮助警察及执法人员的途径。

Like Britain's £5billion ID cards plan, due to roll out in 2011/12, India's scheme is not without controversy.

由于计划在2011年12月展开计划，像英国的50亿英镑的身份证计划一样，印度的这项计划也不是没有遇到过质疑。

Observers have raised questions including how the cards will actually improve the delivery of services and also concerns that the scheme could be disruptive.

观察家们提出的问题包括如何确实有效的利用身份证来提高服务，同时他们也担心该计划会造成一些破坏。

In an interview in The Independent today associate fellow of the Asia programme at Chatham House, Charu Lata Hogg, said: 'It cannot be denied that the system of proving identity in India is complicated and confusing.

在今天《独立报》的采访中，Chatham House在亚洲项目的合作人Charu Lata Hogg说：“不可否认的是，在印度发放身份证是一件复杂的和令人困扰的事情。

'But a system of national ID cards can technically introduce a new route to citizenship.

但是一个国家身份证系统可以在技术上提供一个保障公民权益的新方法。

'This could be used as a security measure by the government which leaves migrant workers, refugees and other stateless people in India in limbo without access to public services, employment and basic welfare.'

这可以被政府作为一项安全措施，以确保使那些外来打工人员，难民和在监收押的无国籍人士不能享受到公共服务，就业和基本福利服务。”
