Aadhaar: From Voluntary to Mandatory
by Tarun Khanna Anjali Raina Rachna Chawla1.1 billion residents of India (99% of the population) had a unique biometric identity- Aadhaar- by 2017. Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) had in 6 years achieved an unprecedented milestone in emerging and developed markets.The objective stated was to create a corruption proof social security infrastructure that enables the disenfranchised to access benefits without any diversion to middlemen and unscrupulous elements. Earlier a voluntary scheme, in 2017 , GOI made it mandatory. What are the positive and negative implications of this, specifically related to economic development of the majority and the privacy of the individual?
Aadhaar: India's 'Unique Identification' System
by Tarun Khanna Anjali RainaThe case focuses on the execution challenges facing Nandan Nilekani, the Chairman, and Ram Sevak Sharma, Director General and Mission Director of the Unique Identification Authority of India. India had no nationally accepted way to prove identity and hence 42% of the population at the base of the pyramid had to resort to bribery to access entitlements, while a web of fake or multiple identities facilitated criminal diversion of government subsidies. UIDAI was tasked to deliver a unique identification number to every Indian resident. This involved the issue of a total of 1.2 billion unique IDs by 2020 and an interim goal of 600 million UIDs by 2014 - the largest data management program in the world. The case deals with the challenge of implementing a towering vision, of executing on an epic technology project, and of changing minds on an unprecedented scale. It examines the forces that both facilitate and derail change. It also examines the leadership style and motivation of Nilekani, and the transition in skills required to move from building a global organization to working within the Indian bureaucracy.

Aandoeningen van het bewegingsapparaat: In de algemene praktijk
by A. N. Wolf J. M. A. MensDit boek is het vervolg op Onderzoek van het bewegingsapparaat: fysische diagnostiek in de algemene praktijk van dezelfde auteurs. Werd in het eerste deel de nadruk gelegd op de praktische uitvoering van het lichamelijk onderzoek en de interpretatie van de gegevens, in dit tweede deel gaan de auteurs in op de in de praktijk meest voorkomende categorieën aandoeningen: arthritis, artrose en "weke delen letsel". Een ongebruikelijk kenmerk van dit boek is het vermelden van "statements". De benadering van klachten van het bewegingsapparaat berust meer op theoretische overwegingen en langdurige praktijkervaring dan op de resultaten van wetenschappelijk onderzoek. De auteurs hebben dit aspect willen benadrukken door definities en praktische uitgangspunten in de vorm van afzonderlijke, omkaderde statements weer te geven. Het zijn geen waarheden, maar soms provocerende uitspraken. Deze kunnen worden gebruikt als vuistregels voor de dagelijkse praktijkvoering, maar ook als uitgangspunten voor de ontwikkeling van wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
Aapda Prabandhan Bhag-2 class 9 - Himachal Pradesh Board: आपदा प्रबंधन भाग-२ कक्षा ९ - हिमाचल प्रदेश बोर्ड
by Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education - Dharamshalaहिमाचल प्रदेश स्कूल शिक्षा बोर्ड, धर्मशाला द्वारा प्रकाशित कक्षा 9 के लिए " पदा प्रबंधन भाग-२" का डिजिटल संस्करण, 2013 से 2022 तक की विभिन्न संस्करणों और पुनर्मुद्रितियों को शामिल करता है। इसका सारांश पाठ्यक्रम और शिक्षण प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से शिक्षकों और छात्रों के बीच एक सेतु के रूप में काम करता है। यह मूल्यांकन, संबोधन, और अच्छी तरह से प्रस्तुत सामग्री की महत्वता पर जोर देता है। अब हम यह सीखेंगे कि आपदाओं के दुष्प्रभावों को कम कैसे करें जिससे कि उनका प्रभाव समुदायों पर कम हो तथा संकट को आपदा बनने की संभावना से रोका जा सके। समुदाय एक दल के रूप में कैसे काम कर सकते हैं और सक्षम आपदा प्रबंधक बन सकते हैं (समुदाय आधारित आपदा प्रबंधन)। यह इसलिए महत्त्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि आपदा की स्थिति में जवाबी कार्रवाई करने वालों में समुदाय सबसे आगे आता है। आगे हमें यह भी समझने की आवश्यकता है कि हम विद्यालयों के लिए आपदा प्रबंधन योजनाएं कैसे तैयार करें तथा जवाबी कार्रवाई के कौशल के लिए स्वयं को कैसे प्रशिक्षित करें ताकि संकट के समय हम अपनी सुरक्षा स्वयं कर सकें। अंततः विद्यार्थी तथा अध्यापक के रूप में हमारा यह कर्तव्य बनता है कि हम अपने परिवार तथा पड़ोसियों को सजग एवं शिक्षित करें ताकि हम सब मिलकर एक सुरक्षित भारत का निर्माण कर सकें।

Abandoned Places in the Digital Era: Spatial Roots of Disaffection and the Internet’s Role in Inclusion (SpringerBriefs in Regional Science)
by Patricio Navia Patricio Aroca Pedro FierroThis book explores the spatial and contextual factors behind citizens' anger, frustration, and sense of abandonment, alongside the role of digital platforms in politically marginalized areas. It shifts the focus from voting geography to the geography of discontent, offering a new perspective on digital inequalities. The study addresses the complexities of "left-behind" places, recognizing that patterns of decline in developed countries differ from those in developing nations, where political and cultural dynamics play a key role. Using Chile’s Valparaíso region as a case study, the book applies its framework to a context characterized by a strong party system, robust institutions, and high Internet penetration. Chile’s recent political crisis, marked by widespread dissatisfaction, makes this analysis particularly relevant. Valparaíso, with its unique role as the host of the National Congress and as a focal point of the 2019 social uprising, serves as a microcosm for understanding the spatial dimensions of political discontent in digitally connected societies.
