Biometric Cards for Indian Population: Role of Mathematical Models in Assisting and Planning
Arni S.R. Srinivasa Rao

TL;DR
This paper explores how mathematical models can support India's biometric card initiative by estimating population metrics, planning card distribution, and linking population data, while noting other technical challenges.
Contribution
It introduces mathematical modeling approaches to estimate population segments and plan biometric card issuance in India, aiding government policy and implementation.
Findings
Mathematical models can estimate missing population data.
Models help in planning the number of biometric cards needed.
Linkage between population register and biometric cards is feasible.
Abstract
Mathematical models could be helpful in assisting the Indian Government's new initiative of issuing biometric cards to its citizens. In this note, we look into the role of mathematical models in estimating the missing, non-enumerated population numbers, estimating annual numbers of cards required by age, gender and regions in India. The linkage between National Population Register and biometric cards is also highlighted. See technical Appendices. There are other scientific issues, namely, electronic, data storage management, identity verification etc, which we do not address in this paper.
