According to the World Bank, India is on track to issue a digital identification system to its entire 1.25 billion population. The registration would help the government to integrate disadvantaged groups into the economy. In the past five years India has already provided digital ID’s to nearly one billion people. As a result online access has increased while corruption in public services has been reduced. “Technology can be transformational,” the World Bank said. “A digital identification system such as India’s Aadhaar, by overcoming complex information problems, helps willing governments to promote the inclusion of disadvantaged groups.”
