UIDAI AADHAAR : What is the introducer system and who can be an introducer?

What is the introducer system and who can be an introducer?
UIDAI recognises that some people particularly children, women, migrant workers, homeless, nomadic tribes, urban poor and others may not be able to produce documentary proof of identity and proof of address. In order to enable inclusion of these individuals for AADHAAR, the data standards committee recommended that the introducer system be created similar to the introducer framework followed by banks for opening bank accounts. 

The main objective of the introducer system is to enable inclusion of people into the UID system who are otherwise hard to reach and may not be able to provide proof of identity and address. In situations where a resident is unable to provide proof of identity or proof of address they can be introduced for an aadhaar number by a pre designates "Introducer".
An Introducer is a person who is authorized to introduce a resident who does not possess any PoA / PoI documents. The main objective of the introducer system is to enable enrolment of residents into Aadhaar, who are otherwise hard to reach and may not be part of any government database.
Introducers are individuals (for example, Registrar's employees, elected members, members of local administration bodies, postmen, influencers such as teachers & doctors, Anganwadi / ASHA workers, representative of local NGO's etc.) identified by a Registrar and registered in UIDAI's CIDR as "Introducers".
Introducer's are to be predominantly appointed by Registrars. In certain cases UIDAI may choose to appoint introducer's as well. It is the intent of the UIDAI to ensure that multiple Introducers are available for residents right down to the village level and in this regard will encourage Registrars to consider appointing government officials, school teachers, local NGO's, anganwadi workers and other reliable persons as Introducers.
