Aadhaar is a unique identification system launched by the Government of India. It assigns a 12-digit unique number to residents based on their biometric and demographic data. The system aims to provide a reliable way to verify identity and access various services, including government benefits and financial services. The Aadhaar project is managed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). It helps streamline processes by reducing fraud and ensuring that benefits reach the intended recipients. As of now, it has become one of the largest biometric identification systems in the world.
