Fake certificate holders beware! People who bag jobs using them may soon get
g, as their forgery will end when a unique number will be provided to all degree holders.
This will happen once the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) creates a database of all certificates of students passing out of schools, universities or any other degree institution. A 12-digit UID number would be provided to these students through their institutions.
Once all certificates are dematerialised, they could be verified by providing the unique number. For example, an employer can check the degree certificate with mark sheet, the name of the university or school and other details of the person being hired.
“What all happened till now is enrolment for banking applications, financial inclusion, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and public distributions system… that are going fine. Now, we are thinking of different applications that could be used in different fields like dematerialisation of education certificates so that fake cases could be avoided,” director-general of UIDAI, Ramsewak Sharma, told Financial Chronicle.
He said UIDAI was providing financial assistance to states to develop the applications. All these things are going side by side and more such applications would be announced on June 14. “How do you integrate UID with these applications would be the theme.”
The ministry of human resource development (HRD) has already planned dematerialisation of degree certificates from the next academic year.
The Indira Gandhi National Open University is one of UIDAI’s registrars for demat certificates. Other universities would follow suit. “Various states with their education departments under the HRD ministry would sign memoranda of understanding (MoUs) to develop demat certificates," Sharma said.
The authority has also appointed National Securities Depository as registrar for the Aadhaar project. It plans to issue 600 million Aadhaar cards over the next five years. UIDAI recently started enrolment of physically challenged people in Ranchi and Mysore. It has enrolled 280 such people in Mysore and 184 in Jharkhand through camps. “The whole philosophy of enrolling such people was to ensure that these people also get all the benefits. It was a proactive approach to reach out to that section of society,” said assistant director-general, UIDAI-Ranchi, Arvind Prasad.
Depending on the condition of a person, UIDAI has exempted some categories of handicapped people from biometric scan.
Beginning September 2010, the authority has provided UID numbers to 84,74,815 people till June 4. From next month the authority may start work in Punjab, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Enrolments are happening in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tripura, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Orissa, Goa and Pondicherry.
“Once enrolment starts in UP and West Bengal, our target of enrolling one million numbers everyday from October would be met. We are enrolling around four lakh numbers on a daily basis now,” Sharma added.
