Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Apaar : Why go that far ?

 


 

Article link:

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.
