Allaying privacy fears surrounding 'Aadhar', the Unique Identification Authority of India Chairman Nandan Nilekani today said the project would in no way put at risk citizens' security and rights.

Delivering a lecture on 'Analysing and Envisioning India,' Nilekani said having an Aadhar number in no way puts the resident in a security risk or intrudes privacy.

"The data collected of the individual by means of biometric system will only be for the sake of their identification and access to other facilities like availing bank loans, being part of the PDS system and others. There is no way other agencies or non-concerned parties having access to the Aadhar data base," Nilekani said.

He said if anybody wanted to misuse personal information about people then they could do it even now as most information about people are already available with numerous agencies like banks, post offices, internet etc.

He asserted that the 12-digit Aadhar number will not have much personalised information about the resident for anyone to misuse.

He said, nevertheless, the government was looking to put into place a data security law to iron out any privacy issues.

UIDAI has issued close to 2 million Aadhaar numbers and targets to touch the 600 million mark by 2014.
