Aadhar is compulsory to every individual person, it gives recognition to citizens, it avoids frauds and corruption.

Adhar card as good as well as bad like it as coins 2 sides heads as well as teals. It depends on how we use it. Whether it is used betterment or destruction. It depends on us, merits and demerits marits in olden days we used for so many documents for proofs in now a days we need only one proof that is adhar we can buy Sims, transfer money, buying a lands and demerits like when adhar is hacked enter all bank accounts, Sims, so we have start changing we of using it.

I think Aadhar card benefits in minimizing the documentation work as well as time.
We can save Time means we have saved some money.
Adhar card also helps people who have lost.
These people can be taken to Aadhar centre and by accessing their fingerprints can help to find their address.
We don't have to carry too many documents.
The drawback I found that.
As Aadhar is compulsory, If anyone lost Aadhar card then he can't do any work like getting a new sim or change address or open bank ac etc till he gets back.

The idea of giving a unique identification number to every India citizen was first given by the former UPA government which was later implemented by the NDA government on the name of Aadhar card. Since Modi came in power he has been making a continuous effort to streamline the financial transactions in India through different government schemes.
By making Aadhar mandatory for most of the government schemes Indian government had saved about USD 9 million in 2016 from getting transferred to ghost citizens, said by Arun Jaitley.
Aadhar database also helped in solving missing and robbery case by using biometric data stored in Aadhar.
As Aadhar is a nationally recognized card and is linked to other identification cards like bank passbook, passport, and PAN card it has eased the document handling.
Aadhar has also made it possible to seal the Benami Properties.
The advantages of Aadhar in the reduction of corruption of USD 9 million as also been praised by World Bank in 2016 and world bank has advised other countries to replicate the same model.
The only concern or failure of Aadhar is the protection of Aahar database. As online hackers are getting smarter day by day it is important for the government agency to protect this database.
Uncovered story by the Journalist of THE TRIBUNE revealed how in just 500 Rs anyone can get the personal information of an individual.
Aadhar card duplicity is also another concern, the same journalist revealed that by an extra amount of 300 Rs can get you a duplicate Aadhar. The report also claimed that the data had been hacked from one of the Rajasthan government sites.
This show insensitivity of government, data leak of MS Dhoni on the tweeter is also another fault from the government.
The case of Bhartiya Airtel is also an eye catcher where users bank account were opened without their concern by using Aadhar database.
In an RTI, UIDAI revealed that there are also most 210 government sites which can easily provide you with Aadhar database.
All these case and many more make Aadhar highly insecure.
However, government actions like canceling of banking license of Bhartiya airtel and penalizing the hackers show government concern for the data leak.
Supreme Court verdict clearly shows that though Aadhar has many advantages, the pontential risk of data leak overweight the advantages this gave the birth of Virtual Identification Number which will help in utilizing Aadhar in a positive way.

Hello everyone,
Today, the topic is making Aadhar mandatory: benefits and drawbacks.
In my opinion, it has benefits and drawbacks.
Firstly the benefits of Aadhar are;
* A single unique identification number is useful for applying for fee reimsment, driving license, bank ac, etc.
* It helps to identify person details when it is an emergency like missing cases and accident cases.
* It helps to identify a person who is corrupted.
Coming to drawbacks;
* A person whose details are wrongly printed has to suffer a lot to make it correct.
* The person has to postpone all his works until the Aadhar is correct.

Just like we had ID card in school which was used as a medium of our identification similarly Aadhar Card is a form of identity that we are a part if this country. According to me, this was a great initiative taken by the government and making it mandatory increases it's usage and efficiency. It creates a form of trust, reliability, traceability of every person. However, there are easy ways of making fake Aadhar cards which hampering the process.

According to me, Aadhar is mandatory for all people because it is a 12 digit unique identification number and cannot be duplicated because it has biometrics of person.
Aadhar card serves as a single document for proof of address and identifictaion so it has vast advantages in carrying documents of identification and less paperwork.
All government subsidies can be avail through Aadhar number If you can link your Aadhar no with your bank account it can easily avail various subsidies like LPG, kerosene, scholarship and pension scheme.
You can also do online transaction via Aadhar and make transaction simpler.
Aadhar has also made it possible to curb black money and benami properties via person identification.
But, the only issue is that protection of database nowadays hacking of account through leak data of Aadhar we can see in the news that is the problem for us.
