Why is support important?
Aadhaar is a unique number and cannot be duplicated for any Indian resident as it is linked to their biometric information. This system helps identify and prevent fake or non-existent identities, reducing the risk of data leaks. The government also provides benefits of government schemes only to the eligible people by removing duplicate and fake Aadhaar numbers. If someone has a fake Aadhaar or does not have Aadhaar, he may be deprived of many government benefits.
