The Indian government has begun moves to provide a Unique Identification (UID) number to its citizens, the central government has announced.
It has appointed Infosys Technologies co-chairman Nandan Nilekani as head of a new body to determine how the scheme will be implemented.
The project will mean that all Indian adults will have to carry what is in effect an identity card.
Experts say the scheme is likely to take several years to implement.
