In July 2006, a processes committee in the Planning Commission was set up under Arvind Virmani, its principal adviser, for modification, updation, addition and deletion of data fields from the core database to be created under the UID for the BPL Families project.21 A ‘Strategic Vision on the UID Project’ was prepared in consultation with Wipro as the technology consultant. The flyover fix, to overcome issues of enrolment and to kickstart creation of UID for BPL families, was to link it to the ready database of election rolls.
