The Social Welfare Department of Govt of Pondicherry celebrated the World Disabled day on 3rd December 2001 to honour the disabled persons. In this context, NIC, Pondicherry has developed the necessary software to computerize the Identity cards and passbooks distributed to the disabled persons. The ID cards have been prepared bilingually (both English and local language) using GIST technology. The information is stored in the database along with the photo and signature of the individuals. In the first phase, 200 ID cards and passbooks were generated using this software and distributed to the individuals, by the Hon’ble, Lt. Governor of Pondicherry, Smt Rajani Rai.
