For his graduation in May 2009, Rajesh Bansal focused his Master’s project “Targeting government expenditure through e-governance in India: a feasibility study” on the costs and benefits of introducing a biometric smart card based National Identification System. Two major benefits were expected: the system would improve the targeting of government welfare schemes and potentially achieve major efficiency gains. After returning to India, Rajesh was assigned by his government to work on the project he had advocated. This article from the NY Times describes progress so far.
