Conceived as an ambitious project to provide universal identity to more than one billion Indians, India’s Aadhaar system is unparalleled in its reach and aspiration.

Capturing the experiences and perspectives of over 167,000 residents, together the surveys represent the largest primary dataset on the use of Aadhaar and, more broadly, digital ID anywhere in the world.
