Hello, this is Rahul.
In my opinion, Aadhaar Database is under controlled of government agency UIDAI (Unique Identity Authority of India), they are not 100% secure and safe. If anyone gets your Aadhaar number and for misuse purpose, he needs OTP as a security code to access your biometric data and others document. If you are aware all this hacking or fraud then no one can access your data and data will be safe.

Hello everyone,
In my opinion, the Aadhaar database is secured enough by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) which is government based security provided to secure our personal databases. The government decided that one nation one card is an Aadhar card hence no need to carry different cards as we previously did.
Nowadays due to digitalization in India, cybercrime is rising day by day but this is not due to the leaking of information in the Aadhar database it's happening due to the careless nature of some persons. Our Aadhar database is secured by our unique fingerprint so no one can hack it unless we provide our biometric. For accessing our information which is given by us in the Aadhar database OTP is needed which comes on our Aadhar linked mobile number unless we didn't provide this OTP none can get our personal information.
Some fraud peoples are there who asks OTP and make fool to us. But don't provide them OTP otherwise they will do false transactions or hack our database hence be careful nowadays while communicating with unknown or sometimes known persons too.
Don't misuse anyone your personal data or information.
The government already provided security to our database so we should be careful while using any online mode.
Thanks.

Hi, friends. The topic given to us is "is the Aadhaar database secured enough".
Indian government section UIDAI has officially announced that Aadhaar is fully secured and totally safe.
Aadhaar is under the control of a government agency and it is in safe hands. No one can access your data until you don't. Even to know only the Aadhaar number no one can do anything. It is linked with fingerprint and also if any transaction or data-stealing are happening, it t takes an OTP that linked with our cell phone. So without our allowance, no one can access i.e. Aadhaar is overall secure.

UIDAI is the government authority that handles all information in the Aadhar card which is intended to be secure. As the government displayed one nation one card, we can attach our all documents with an Aadhar card and we do not have to carry all other cards like the previous one.
As Aadhar card transactions require our fingerprint at every stage hence no cybercrime will take place.
If all documents are attached to the Aadhar card then everyone will be more secure.

According to me, the Aadhaar database is secured enough because it is under the control of UIDAI and it is a government agency. As we all know if someone tries to hack their database he needs to enter a security code and fingerprint also without a fingerprint no one can use our Aadhaar we can call it OTP and it will send on the no you have registered for Aadhaar and in my opinion, if you are aware enough about these things then no one can hack your database it's your responsibility to secure yourself and your data.

According to me, Aaddhar is enough database to secure our identity and bank related information and many more now days every thing is connected through the addhar and we need verification like fingers prints to open our information so every second they protect our information so I can says that Aadhaar database is secured is enough.

According to me this topic is very relevant to our daily life. In our daily life, we used Aadhaar card many of the time for bank-related works, for sim cards or any other documentation. In the Aadhaar card, our basic information is mentioned like name, address, contact number etc. And yes it is more secure with a comparison with previous voter id because of the fingerprinting facility.
The Aadhaar database is secure enough, and it is a great decision making by our government to make the Aadhaar card is compulsory in every field like in the government field, bank account, job application forms etc.
Moreover, people have their personal information linked to Aadhaar so they might be quite worried about misuse of information so might be thinking that is safe or not?
So, according to UIDAI i.e. unique identification authority of India now there is not a single case of financial loss due to Aadhaar.
It is also used to recognise a right and wrong person and protest terrorist attacks in the form of security purposes.
No one can impersonate and harm him because Aadhaar alone is not sufficient, it requires biometrics to authenticate one's identity. In my opinion, the Aadhaar database is secured enough.
THANK YOU.

According to me, Aadharcard is secure for everyone. Nowadays this is mandatory for everyone. This made one of our identification. It is unique I'd of everyone who has biometric of oneself. In the process of Ahardcard generation, there is biometric features required like a fingerprint, eye scan and also OTP.
We don't need to carry other identifications like passports, voter id, bank passbooks and driving licences because these are all linked to ADARCARD. It is beneficial to all age of person because below 18 we don't get this identification.
When we withdraw the money from the bank we can easily draw using ADARCARD. No one can hack our bank details unless providing our biometric. It gives safety to money.

I want to put my view here;
Nowadays Aadhaar card is needed for everyone everywhere.
So the Government of India made such brilliant things for their society it has been helped us in many things either bank propose, verify ourself to anywhere by Aadhaar card. We have proof that we all are Indian. Obviously, Government has taken this decision so our data would be saved. They may have enough security for this.
This decision was taken by Government. It should fully depend on our Government to take responsibility for it.
It is also unique identification and with the help of the Aadhaar card, it has been helping to the more rural area people. They are using it more.
So my conclusion is that it had a good decision taken by our government.

Yes.
I am in favor for this.
Because of Aadhar card now we can buy new sim card easily earlier it used to take around 3-4 days just to start the sim but now it will activate in a moment.
Aadhar is now updated with our number so we can easily open bank ac with this earlier we have to carry multiple documents with us so this is plus point for us.
If a child lost some where and if his/her parent has made a Aadhar card of that child so with the biometric we can find name of that child but his address as well.
