Meet Samarth Bharadwaj and Himanshu Bhatt (Times of India)

As to his role in the UIDAI project at the IIIT-Delhi , Bharadwaj, a second-year research student said that they had begun working on the project last year. "Four research students from our college conducted a feasibility study on finger prints of labourers and farmers — people who work with their hands — to analyse the quality of their fingerprints and find out if they can be used as a part of unique identification," said Bhatt.
