सरकार की दो समांतर चलाई जा रही योजनाओं, यथा ‘आधार कार्ड’ और ‘राष्ट्रीय जनसंख्या रजिस्टर’ (एन.पी.आर.), एक स्वैच्छिक और दूसरी अनिवार्य, ने राष्ट्रीय स्तरों पर वाद-विवादों और मुकदमों को जन्म दिया है। गुणों-अवगुणों के आधार पर चर्चा कीजिए कि क्या दोनों योजनाओं को साथ-साथ चलाना आवश्यक है या नहीं है। इन योजनाओं की विकासात्मक लाभों और न्यायोचित संवृद्धि को प्राप्त करने की संभाव्यता का विश्लेषण कीजिये।
