UID as users ID, Indian Express, 27 January 2012

The governement appears to be working towards an
amicable solution on the question of who can collect biometric
information data for the Indian population. There has been
disagreement about whether this will be done by the UIDAI headed by
Nandan Nilekani, or the National Population Register headed by the
Home Minister, P. Chidambaram. It now seems that both may continue
to collect data but share its use.
