Envisioning a role for aadhaar in the public distribution system [1]

The Unique Identification number (Aadhaar) was conceived by the Indian government as a means for residents to clearly and uniquely verify their identity anywhere in the country. The mandate for

potential role Aadhaar can play within the PDS.
