THere is NO short cut to institutions and habit building.
You could build a million toilets, and people still wouldn't use it in India, because the older institutions and habits are stronger.

Aadhar is already shown to not work on its promised targets, but has of course been expanded to do everything from book tickets, to get phones.

Convenience and efficiency over your rights are terrible choices.
