The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has won the Sri Lanka ID Card project. Various International IT firms participated in this international competitive bidding process. The mega project shall involve data collection of all eligible citizens' biometric, biographic and digitization of the same; thus transforming it into a National Persons Registry (NPR). This data will be scanned and converted into digital format to be uploaded to the National Persons Registry.


Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan congratulated Chairman NADRA and his winning team on this success. "NADRA has made Pakistan proud", he said. The Sri Lankan government invited IT firms from across the world to participate in the bid based on three components segregating Scanning/ Digitization of new ID Forms, ID Card Backend system & Data Centre and Personalization of ID Cards. It was mandatory for international firms to bid in partnership with local firms. NADRA has submitted bids for the first two components through NADRA-Informatics consortium. The consortium has been awarded the Letter of Intent for the first phase of the project by being the lowest bidder.

In the first component, at present, there are approximately 15 million manual paper based identity card holders. For the re-registration purpose, Department for Registration of Persons expects to collect re-registration data from the existing issued population (ie citizens who have been issued with the present paper based National Identity Card). This process covers the manual paper based collection of applicant's data and subsequent transfer of such data for digitization in an ambitious and challenging duration of 9 months. NADRA is committed to meet this challenge within the timelines.

Chairman NADRA, Tariq Malik said: "It is encouraging to see that customised systems indigenously developed by NADRA are winning international competitive process." NADRA's other international achievements include Machine Readable Passport (MRP) Issuance System for Kenya, Driving Licensing system for Bangladesh, Biometric Refugee Registration System for UNHCR and World Bank's Poverty Score Card |System. NADRA is among the top 50 system integrators in world ranking, according to Italy-based ID World Congress ratings. "This extraordinary milestone will further improve NADRA's international ratings," said Tariq Malik.-PR

These ID cards don't contain any biometric data do they?

NADRA should and must reach out to other African and South American countries to provide there services. Also they should also reach out to Muslim Countries in the first place...
 
What is the expected gross/net income that NADRA is looking to make? And that will go into treasury boosting our reserves, won't it?

P.S, congrats NADRA and Pakistan. A worthy and proud achievemen indeed.
