Buoyed by the response of several eminent individuals to lend their services to 'The Unique Identification Authority of India', the body has made rules for such volunteers willing to help in the project.

The government project headed by Infosys founder Nandan Nilekani will take assistance of such people and NGOs to ensure that poor and marginalised people are included in the system.

"In order to ensure that the poor and marginalised are included into the system, it hopes to take the assistance of volunteers and NGOs.

"The UIDAI hopes that it will be able to areas of technology, awareness creation and enrolment. The Authority plans to have volunteers both on full time and part-time basis," an spokesperson of UIDAI said in a statement.

He said application for volunteers would be put up on the website 'www.uidai.gov.in' and shall assess if theirservices are required in their area of expertise.

"If the authority is satisfied that the applicant has the requisite specialised skills, experience and qualifications and there is no conflict of interest then the Authority will issue an offer letter along with the specific role for the volunteer," he said.

UIDAI has also come out with a Code of Conduct the volunteers need to follow.
