New Delhi (NVI): The Aadhaar project has crossed the 125 crore mark, according to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) which is involved in the project to provide the key identity number to the Indian nationals.
This means that over 1.25 billion residents of India have the 12-digit unique identity required for all purposes of identification now.
The milestone comes along with the rapidly increasing use of Aadhaar as the primary identity document. This is evident from the fact that Aadhaar-based authentication services have been used close to 37,000 crore times since inception, an official statement said.
