It has come to our notice that certain software companies/organisations
in deal with colleges are mandating to collect Aadhaar details of
students. These details are said to be gathered for the purpose of
college management solutions they provide to various engineering colleges.
The Aadhaar number is collected along with personal details such as
caste, religion, gender and academic data. [1]
In light of recent leaks of various Aadhaar databases[2] particularly
regarding educational institutions [3], your personal data is prone to
leaks and misuse. The consequences for the students and the management,
of identity leak or theft are serious and enormous.
Moreover, we express concern in handing over our personal data over a
number these companies which are fake and act solely as data
accumulating enterprises. According to Aadhaar act, unauthorised
third-parties collecting Aadhaar can be legally punishable.
The Supreme Court has declared Right to Privacy is a part of fundamental
rights. Swecha therefore advises students, faculty and concerned
citizens to watch out for these frauds and beware of them. Let's fight
this together. write to us at [email protected], if such cases of
forceful Aadhaar data collection drives comes to your notice.
