The distribution of Unique Identification (UID) number to 6.11 crore Bangaloreans will be completed only by July 2013, even though those in Mysore and Tumkur are likely to get their 12-digit Aadhaar numbers in six months.
Though the state has given administrative clearance, it will take time to commence the issuance of Aadhaar number to the citizens.
Ashok Dalwai, deputy director-general, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), said the pilot project taken up in Mysore and Tumkur was on full swing, and distribution of UID numbers would be completed in those two districts within six months. “After Mysore and Tumkur, we have planned to take up this project in two stages. The e-governance department has invited tenders last February for eight districts, where the second phase of the project will be implemented,” he said.
