Tracing the struggle
The much-awaited verdict of the constitutional Bench on the Aadhaar project is out. It was argued that Aadhaar would reduce leakages in social sector schemes such as the public distribution system by eliminating bogus beneficiaries or ration cards. Despite the rejection of the NIAI Bill, the government went ahead and attempted to make Aadhaar mandatory in a large number of government schemes. The BJP leader Ananth Kumar said: “Aadhaar card is not at all good for India; Aadhaar card should be scrapped.” By this period, however, more people began to detest the arbitrary imposition of Aadhaar. Aadhaar was made mandatory for opening a bank account, to obtain a mobile number, filing tax returns, to make use of free ambulance services, to receive treatment for tuberculosis, to receive treatment under the National Health Mission, to get housing subsidy for beedi workers, to receive soil health cards, for crop insurance benefits, to receive scholarships under the National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship, to receive benefits under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, for skill training under national skill development programmes, to obtain benefits under the Bonded Labour Rehabilitation Scheme, to partake of midday meals in school, and to get benefits under the Janani Suraksha Yojana.
