The government has decided to update the National Population Register (NPR) and seed the Aadhaar number in the NPR database.
Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary told Rajya Sabha that the initiative would cost ₹951.35 crore and the field work would be completed by March 2016.
“This updated NPR database along with Aadhaar number would become the mother database and can be used by various government departments for selection of beneficiaries under their respective schemes,” he said in reply to a written question.
