The instant invention relates to an integrated system and method of secure national citizen identity management and e-Governance—known as the CimeGo System®—using as the foundational platform a centralized national-level electronic database of all citizens known as the National Registry (NR) or Central Data Repository (CDR) (containing all relevant data including biometrics in uniquely designed formats, periodically updated) (and also separately for non-citizens) for national level identity management deploying secure smart cards bearing a single, unique scientifically derived identity reference allocated to each citizen valid for the lifetime of the citizen for all applications countrywide, replacing all multiple IDs presently in use. Dedicated India Card Centres (ICCs) across the country serve to rapidly complete citizens' enrolment procedures leading to card issuance and activation. Data stored on the card chip is ported from NR (CDR) and accessed by authorised personnel via card reader units located countrywide. Using the method offered under the instant invention, the NR also serves as the basis for operationalising a modern e-Governance programme with numerous advanced functionalities for efficient, facile bi-directional interaction between citizens versus government and other agencies, spanning a wide range of statutory and non-statutory applications. The Cimego® System facilitates efficient national administration, ensuring compliance by citizens with laid-down laws and national directives. The invention also helps to plan and monitor welfare measures to the populace and to maintain stringent levels of internal security and border regulation by means of the wide ranging actionable inputs and functional capabilities offered by the instant invention.
