Hindustan Times - Too many digital IDs spoil the broth
by Charles Assisi
---
Extract from the article:
The article discusses India's new student ID initiative, APAAR, which has the potential
to complicate digital identification systems rather than simplifying them.
The initiative raises concerns about the
efficiency and cost implications. Schools are distributing forms for these
digital IDs to minor students, which has sparked debate over the practicality
of such an approach.
Simultaneously, the Ministry of Health is
developing its Health ID initiative, adding another layer to the
evolving landscape of digital identification projects in India.
My
Take:
I
am One , I will become Many
There are dozens of such IDENTIFIER CARDS
For want of space, I have tried to compare the data
requirement of only a few, in the following Comparative Chart ( - although
somewhat incomplete )
Seamless
Academic Journeys Await
"The vision of
the APAAR ID to centralize academic information and facilitate educational
transitions is promising. The article's focus on the potential challenges of
managing numerous digital IDs underscores the importance of effective
implementation and user-friendly design to maximize the benefits of such
initiatives."
SARSEL
= (Single Academic Registration System of Education and Learning)
Creating a unified portal like SARSEL
would require a comprehensive approach,
integrating multiple facets of the
Indian education system.
Here's a concrete proposal:
Aadhar
or Apaaar or SARSEL ?
Call to Action:
To the Ministry of Education and Health in
India, I urge a collaborative effort to streamline digital ID initiatives like
APAAR and the Health ID. Prioritize user experience and interoperability to
ensure that these systems simplify processes for students and citizens, rather
than adding unnecessary complexity.
