e-Governance refers to the delivery of government information and services via the Information and communication technology (ICT) to citizens, businesses and governmental agencies. Census is the citizen socioeconomic data collection process for the preparation of the citizen database. Census data collection has been facing various barriers like high human resources requirement and time-consuming process. An Online Census System (OCS) permits the users to enter the census data via the ICT. The twelve-digit Aadhaar Unique Identification (UID) number issued by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is an individual identification number specific to each citizen. OCS has an important role in the implementation of e-Governance services in India. In this paper, the design of UID based online census system (UIDOCS) is proposed. The design includes the design of online data collection forms with relevant user interface, user authentication based on one time password and integration of census data with UIDAI database for fetching existing citizen information. A number of e-Governance applications of UID based online census system are also discussed. It is concluded that UIDOCS can be effective and efficient in all type of e- Governance applications as it can provide accurate and timely information within reasonable amount of time.

Aadhaar Number

Census

One Time Password

In this paper UID based online census system is proposed, which can take the limitations of manual census system. The proposed system enhances security of authentication by transferring the OTP to valid mobile number. It also allows a person to fill census data from anywhere. UIDOCS can allow preparing efficient, speedy and cost effective census. The proposed system will be implemented and different e-governance applications that required census data sharing will be developing by using web services. The UIDOCS will be transparent one allowing interoperability between platforms and systems. The UIDOCS will be tested with real time data.
