Pradesh leads the nation by becoming the first state to be all set
for issuing the multipurpose national identity card.

tehasil of Maharajganj district.
The project was conceived at the behest of
the Centre under its scheme to establish a national register of
Indian citizens.

multipurpose identity cards are important from nation's security
point of view as it would help police in identifying infiltrators,
criminals, smugglers and terrorists from across the border as every
valid resident of the country would be carrying the identity card.
