The advent of Aadhar Card demonstrates the increasing incorporation of Government services with Internet and Information Technology. One such feature is the Aadhar Card by Name Search and Checking your Status.
The launch of the latest Government initiative, the Digital Locker facility, just adds to the credibility of the argument that suggests that e-governance is the future of our Democracy. It has a lot of positives, however, the negatives cannot be ignored. With the availability of downloadable Aadhar card, the concept of keeping the actual offline Aadhar Card securely is slowly losing significance. We tend to take for granted, the availability of an e-Aadhar card as and when it is needed. In such cases, forgetting or losing the UID (Aadhar Card number) and EID (Enrolment ID) is a fairly common phenomena. So you need to be able to Find UID
