MOSIP: A digital identity game-changer

Hindustan Times  

In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, digital identity for citizens is more crucial than ever. The year 2010 saw the introduction of Aadhaar in India--using minimal demographic and biometric information, it quickly became the catalyst for seamlessly connecting an individual’s digital identity to social protection schemes and benefits, thus enabling inclusion of even the underserved and marginalised populace. As countries embark on the journey of inclusive digital identity systems, one cannot overlook the pivotal role of Indian DPG viz Modular Open-Source Identity Platform.
