Aadhaar gains momentum, clocks two crores in October (Economic Times)

The Unique Identification Authority (UID), the UPA's ambitious project, has generated two crore national unique identity numbers in October alone. It aims to roll out Aadhaar-based applications for improved service delivery that will ensure the poor enjoy the benefits of welfare schemes.

UIDAI has generated 59.6 million crore Aadhaar numbers within a little more than a year, and more than 100 million citizens have been enrolled in the system across the country.

"In another major milestone, UID Authority has generated two crore Aadhaar numbers in October," said an official statement.
