Government documents, records, certificates, etc. especially those belonging to citizens, should be digitized and made universally accessible through mandating use of standards and protocols. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) should be published in conformance with an Open API policy so that data and services are exposed to the outside system for its efficient use. Easy access to the digital resources will help in developing mobile apps and other online applications as value added services by developers and users. Two or more data sets representing similar data may be provided as a linkable data set. Citizens should not be asked to provide government documents or certificates, which are already available with some department/institution of the government, in physical form. Portability of all electronic documents should also be ensured. As an example, the educational institutions should ensure that all their past degrees and certificates are digitized can kept in their data-centres/cloud with appropriate access protocols. The citizen, while filling some application form should not be asked to submit the certified copies of his/her educational certificates but should provide details of these certificates which can be seen by the concerned agency using the pointer provided by the citizen.

Ideas and inputs are welcome on how digital resources can be created and provided for universal access. The suggestions may include technical architecture and platform, software, authentication mechanisms, citizen interfaces, policy guidelines, process improvements, operational efficiency, implementation procedures, etc. Various means by which digital resources can be made available to the citizens for use & type of data that should be exposed may also be advised. You can upload your ideas in doc or pdf format.

UID along with their name should be provided to every citizen. This can be used by: 1.The UID or the password should only be available to that citizen or the officials who have update his information so dat it could be digitilized. 2.Every one can access those information by just typing the name of the person.but the authentication should be maintained so that no one can save or tampers other individual documents. We should set up an office in every block or panchayat.

Good Idea. But, while linking two or more data sets, inconsistencies should be resolved, so that one data at usage with government department themselves, should not create problems. This problem usually occurs while translating data from so many Indian languages to English. For e.g., spelling mistakes in voter ID issued by Election Commission in its card, is now many times not useful for obtaining a PAN card for Income Tax Purposes.

Already existing Election ID number can be reused after eliminating the duplicates. If this is done properly, no need of Adhaar card also.

Digitization comes with the danger of data manipulation somewhere in the network which can not be traced easily by ordinary citizens. The first step should be to put in security infrastructure of the level of UIDAI's Aadhaar Project. Protection of digital data should get statutory protection with stringent penalties for offenders. This will build confidence in people that their data is safe and they will be motivated to use IT in governance and government functioning.

All government data should be syncronisd into one mega database and should be available in one mega government portal. Individual records should be able to track via their AADHAR numbers. Government should also now start publishing census recorded so that individuals can track their family records and ancestors. To save privacy there should be a secrecy clause where data will be made public only after 25 years.
