Thiruvananthapuram: The IT@School project will provide
close to six million students in Kerala with the Unique Identity
Number, as part of the central government's UIDAI (Unique
Identification Authority of India) initiative, in this academic
year itself, an official said Tuesday.
The Kerala government has set up a Cabinet Sub-Committee under the
chairmanship of Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan and a state UID
Implementation panel to oversee and guide the implementation of
the Unique ID number in the state.
IT@School chief Anvar Sadath said more than 12,000 schools in the
state will be considered either as separate units or as clusters
to enroll for getting the UID.
"IT@School will use its own School Management System to capture
necessary details. From this database the mandatory fields will be
filtered to a separate software, provided by UIDAI. The students
will go through a biometric scanning of ten fingerprints and iris.
They will be photographed and given an enrolment number upon
completion," said Sadath.
UIDAI was established in 2009 by the Government of India, with the
developmental mandate of setting up the infrastructure to provide
a universal way of uniquely identifying Indian residents.
"Unlike normal practice, IT@School is capturing the necessary
details well in advance through the free software based school
management software. Schools can schedule time for class-wise
enrolment of students. So we'll be able to avoid the data-entry
delay and can make maximum enrolment per day and would be
completed before the end of the present academic year," added
Sadath.
