The new Id card or ( UID ) card is supposed to be high tech
and to be made tamper proof and fraud proof.
It is a good project and its success can bring a lot of benefits.
No doubt about it.
And it will remove all the other 11 types of ID cards that
are presently being used.
How ever, considering the large numbers involved - over 1.2 Billion,
it may be useful to number the cards in a humane manner.
Rather than have a large ID number - 12345678901234 on the card..
it may be less error prone and friendly for the user and the
public, if the ID format is done in this manner. Example:
1234 RATNA 2356
By putting a alfa word in between 2 sets of 4 digit numbers
the card ID number is easy to narrate or say over the phone
or counter..and it is also easy to remember.
The 5 letter alfa name should be :
Neutral.. No religious, language or race link
Has two phonetic vowels. (Rat Na )
Easy to pronounce and understood over the phone.
Should not have an "O and I" in the start and ending .
( To avoid confusion between numbers and alphabets )
What do our readers in this forum think of this format.?
