Hyderabad: The data, seeded through the Aadhaar cards to seven major departmental databases by the AP government, does not include several socio-economic details like ownership of housing, vehicle, land and livestock, educational and employment status, driving license number, number of people in a family and disability.
“In view of this, we have proposed to conduct the Smart Pulse Survey as the best strategy to fill the gap,” an official of the IT department explained. Besides, the officials said the Aadhaar seeding was a tedious and time-consuming process.
According to details released by the state government, the AP State Enterprise Architecture will also contain databases on land and industry in addition to people. As the first step towards building a core people’s database, the AP government has created a State Resident Datahub in association with Unique Identification Authority of India. The Datahub mirrors the Aadhaar data of AP from the national repository of UIDAI based in Bengaluru and Manesar.
A senior official of the AP IT department said, “Aadhaar data has nine fields. The UIDAI has shared eight elements with the Datahub. Biometric data with the UIDAI, that includes fingerprints and iris, is not shared with the state government, but is available for online validation on a case-to-case basis.”
An appropriate provision may be made in the legislation proposed on electronic delivery services on the creation, maintenance and management of people data. The revenue department shall own the core data of people and IT department will manage it. The AP government is also planning for real-time mirroring of the Datahub with the Aadhaar database.
