New Delhi, Jan 18 (ANI): Morpho (Safran group) has announced that its technology played a support role in enabling the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to close 2011 with an important milestone of issuing its 100 millionth unique identification or Aadhaar number. he issuing of numbers continues to proceed at a good pace with one million being enrolled per day, a significant achievement by the Morpho-Mahindra Satyam consortium, which has played a pivotal role in the program for issuance of unique identification numbers.
Jean-Paul Jainsky, chairman and chief executive officer of Morpho, said: "We are truly proud that our cutting-edge biometric technology has allowed the UIDAI to hit the 100-million mark in this large-scale project.
