Hi.
Aadhar card is safe and more advantage for every person, like if apply the govt job to easily provide Aadhar card, this is not a normal database this is your biometric and including eye scanner, this is very useful for the police department, if you go abroad this is the main source to identity to you are an Indian, Aadhar is proof of you are an Indian citizen.

See for now, I am saying that Aadhar is best for data base because now a day all things that belong to Aadhar means all the data ex:- if you want to purchase a single sim then you need Aadhar if you want to make your voting card than you need your Aadhar.
Now also Aadhar takes too much data and secured data safely so it's good.

Adhar was introduced by the govt to make the government more transparent. A very famous judgement i.e. (puttaSwami vs union of India) of supreme court is also linked to it concerning the right to privacy. As per my opinion I think we can trust Aadhar and it is very well secured. The underlying technique behind Aadhar I. E, the biometrics makes it duplicate proof. Initially there was much debate about it, people were saying it will do some harm with their right to privacy but we all are very well aware of the today's scenario. Of course, govt was trying to bring Aadhar in almost every aspect but as supreme court said that in Aadhar act it was clearly mentioned that it is going to be used for direct benefit transfer of services. Aadhar is just treated as a resident and identity proof and the govt is using it for providing the benefits of various schemes. Moreover, the Aadhaar database also facilitates targeted policy making.

Good Morning.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give my opinion to this amazing topic. Is the Aadhaar database secured enough?
First of all, I want to explain the feature of Aadhaar card, Aadhar card is the combination of our all the documentary evidence that include our biometric information such as fingerprints, eye scan, etc. Our other documents like pan card, voter id, passport, bank passbook, etc. Are linked to Aadhaar card so we don't need to carry these card along with us. Because government providing the facility to us ''one nation one card''. It is secured for the general public that no one can get the personal identity of an individual, without his prior permission, because it is linked to the mobile number of the user, if anyone tries to log in then automatically a message prompt to this registered mobile number and user will be notified. Even if anyone try to do any banking transactions with Aadhaar card it requires users fingerprints. So in this sense, we can say it is OK. But, If I think about the security of the Aadhaar database, In one word, I can say it is also secured, But I can't say it is cen percent secured. Because recently a news we hared that a website leaked over 5 lakhs Aadhaar card's data, and then the government has banned the website. If I say the security of Aadhaar database in this point of view I can say, if the Aadhaar database is secured enough then how can the data get leaked. Keeping in mind these things the government of India has to reserve more cyber security experts in the system of the Aadhaar database. So in my opinion, It's OK but not completely secured.
Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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, 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.
