Ideally speaking, Labour or worker is categorized under three generic terms – White-collar workers, Blue-collar workers and Pink-collar workers. Further, we can say that labour in Bharat is divided in two categories – Organised labour and Unorganised labour.
Unorganised labour are pink-collar workers that include unskilled tradesman (mazdoor), maids, midwives, local retail workers, parking attendants, florists, barber etc.
Not to forget, organized gang-beggars can also be categorized under this category.
On 29th April 2015, Ministry of Labour and Employment issued guidelines for registration of unorganized labour under UWIN Card/Smart Card.

Guidelines/Page 5 of 13 says,
“During phase-1, the existing RSBY (Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna) database shall be used to generate multi-app, portable smart social security identity cards for the unorganised workers which will mostly cover unorganized workers of BPL and 11 occupational groups. Aadhar authentication/seeding shall happen in camps to be organized by district administrations and existing RSBY smart card software will be tweaked and used for the new social security card, often described as UWIN cards.
In phase-2 of the campaign, the volume of operation will be scaled up to cover all other unorganized workers and hence the SECC (Socio Economic and Caste Census) database maintained by Ministry of Rural Development will be used with Aadhar-seeding. During this phase, most of the Cards will be printed in bulk quantity by electronic seeding ofAadhar without physical presence of the worker and hence camps will deal with a few left out cases; but the activities will mostly focus on identification and distribution of printed cards. Collectors will also have the option to utilise the village panchayats for delivery of cards without resorting to camp approach. In such scenario the isolated left-out cases can be dealt by WFC’s (Worker Faclitation Centre)”.
Dear readers, on the other hand there is an Aadhaar Card, Ration Card and PAN Card. Too many cards can serve up a crisis. Does one flash the Aadhaar card, Ration Card or PAN card?
And they are, for a multitude of options has made establishing one’s identity confusing. Does one flash the Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence, or the passport?
Or, is enrolment in the National Population Register (NPR) the proof of being an Indian?
An average Indian grapples with the problem every day. Migrants to the Capital find it difficult to even open bank accounts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_Identification_Authority_of_Bharat says that by February 2015, the UPA government had spent INR 5630 crore (US$840 million) on the project and generated 78.65 crore (786.5 million) Aadhaar numbers.
These facts raise many questions:
*Does Aadhaar Card still exist?
*What is the utility of this card?
* Why couldn’t NDA streamline UIAI (Aadhar Card) with their manifesto?
*Why couldn’t repeated governments register White-collar, Blue-collar and Pink Collar workers on one database and give citizens an Identity and Identification Number?
*Why couldn’t these governments maintain a centralized database for identification, benefits and taxation?
