SITAA, which stands for Scheme for Innovation and Technology Association with Aadhaar, is a new initiative launched by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). The programme aims to strengthen Aadhaar’s technological foundation by encouraging innovation and research in areas like artificial intelligence, biometric authentication, and data security. In collaboration with MeitY Startup Hub and NASSCOM, SITAA will nurture startups and researchers to develop homegrown solutions for a secure and inclusive digital identity ecosystem. It also aligns with national missions such as Digital Public Infrastructure and Atmanirbhar Bharat, fostering self-reliance and trust in India’s digital framework.
