From wikileaks :

“Confidential plans for 1.2 billion ID cards: Creating a Unique ID for every resident in India, Nov 2009

This confidential working paper (49 pp) presents the current plan for India’s Unique ID Databse Project. Numerous RTI (Right to Information ) petitions failed to obtain this document about the world’s biggest citizen identification scheme.
Because the project will likely become a model for many countries the document is of global interest.
Jounalists can contact Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of UIDA, the Unique Identification Authority.
