A news report claims that the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the government agency in charge of Aadhaar, missed the deadline to enroll every resident of India late last year. Aadhaar, recognized as the world’s largest universal civil ID program and biometric database, is used by the Indian government to provide social services. To date, Aadhaar has issued over 900 million Aadhaar numbers, and has enrolled approximately 850 million people, with a goal of ultimately enrolling 1.28 billion people.
