The government's Unique Identification program, Aadhar, could beIndia's answer to end corruption. This is what the villages across Jharkand are witnessing. Aadhar has helped to simplify the payments made under the government's various social welfare schemes. It includes payments made under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) as well. Aadhar has helped in reducing the number of scrupulous payments by assigning a unique identification to each beneficiary. This has helped identify and remove all ghost applicants from the system. For example, a family is supposed to have only one job card. But it had 2-3 job cards by way of ghost applicants. With the introduction of Aadhar the ghosts were removed from the system. This way the siphoni ng off of funds on account of MG NREGS has come down. In addition to this, the payment method has also become simpler and easier and beneficiaries are able to receive funds immediately rather than having to wait for nearly two to three months. All in all, Aadhar is becoming a success in the state.

Let none of the subsidized or non subsidized benefits be linked with the aadhar card. Let the aadhar card be used only for identification and not for any other benefit or purpose. Let every criterion for usage of aadhar card and subsidies be visible for all to see and understand.
