Amit Shah Moots Idea of Multipurpose ID Card, Says Census 2021 Data Will be Collected Through Mobile App.
The Home Minister said there should also be a system that when a person dies, the information is updated in the population data automatically.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday mooted the idea of a multipurpose identity card for citizens with all utilities like Aadhaar, passport, driving licence and bank accounts. Shah also said the Census 2021 data will be collected through mobile app.
"Why can't we have just one card for all utilities like Aadhaar, passport, bank account, driving licence, voter card? There should be a system that all data should be put together in a single card. This is a potential. That is why digital census is very important," he said after laying the foundation stone of a new building of the Registrar General of India and Census Commissioner here.
For the 2021 census, the reference date is October 1, 2020, for Jammu and Kashmir and snow-bound areas of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand while for the rest of country, it is March 1, 2021. Census will be carried out in 16 languages and at a cost of Rs 12,000 crore.
Shah said the Census 2021 data will be the base for the country's future planning, development initiatives and welfare schemes and people's wholehearted participation is key to the success of the exercise.
