[edit] History
The National Database Organization (NDO) was established under the Ministry of Interior as a sister organization to undertake the task of handling the data being collected through National Data Forms during the Population census in 1998. The National Data Forms (NDFs) were designed by a committee of experts encompassing maximum social and fiscal indicators as implements for future planning, documentation of the economy, and for creation of a comprehensive Citizens' Database. To cater to a cohesive and unified approach in both registration and social fields, NADRA was formed on 10th March 2000 by merging the National Database Organization (NDO) and the Directorate General of Registration (DGR). It is an independent corporate body with requisite autonomy.
[edit] Biggest Information Technology Organization in Pakistan
NADRA is now the biggest IT Organization in Pakistan with more than 11,000 Employees. It has more than 400 Nation wide Offices and 5 International Offices (source NADRA official website).
