Biometric Cards for Indian Population: Role of Mathematical Models in   Assisting and Planning
  Mathematical models could be helpful in assisting the Indian Government's new initiative of issuing biometric cards to its citizens. In this note, we look into the role of mathematical models in estimating the missing, non-enumerated population numbers, estimating annual numbers of cards required by age, gender and regions in India. The linkage between National Population Register and biometric cards is also highlighted. See technical Appendices. There are other scientific issues, namely, electronic, data storage management, identity verification etc, which we do not address in this paper.
