ok, what's there to discuss - one may ask.
Well, that an average Indian does not have any ID in itself is a great topic to discuss IMO :-) That apart, let's discuss the various challenges / progress so far made in this aspect in the country / comparison with other NIDs (for e.g. SSN in USA and the associated processes / benefits / pitfalls etc).
Also, this project alone should start a huge set of IT requirements. The database will really be huge as also the security, man power requirements etc. Let's discuss.
