Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

THIS REFORM WILL END BENAMI FOREVER


Aadhar  :  The  Omnipresent

====================

Economic Times ( 22 Nov ) carries following news :



Property Deals to be linked to Aadhar ”


Now the next big step against black money is round the corner, and this time it's immovable property that's on target.


For the first time, a Union Cabinet minister has indicated that Aadhaar linkage with property transactions would be made mandatory. 

Union Housing Minister Hardeep Puri has said that he has no doubt the linkage would happen. Speaking to Nayantara Rai of ET NOW, Puri said such a move would go a long way in sucking out black money from real estate and also help in crackdown on benami properties.


"Seeding Aadhaar to property transaction is a great idea but I’m not going to make an announcement on that. We are already linking Aadhaar to bank accounts, etc, and we can take some additional steps for property market also,” he said. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has indicated several times that the government would crack down on benami property. Aadhaar linkage could be one part of that drive. 


When asked if seeding Aadhaar with property is a logical conclusion of the government's drive to push Aadhaar to bring transparency in economy, Puri said, “Absolutely, that’s the way it's heading anyways. I have no doubt that it will happen." 




This is a “ Half Way House “  !


Why link Aadhar with only a “ Property Deal “  ?  Why not link it with a given “ Property “ itself  ?  Permanently  ?


That is linking Aadhar with the “ Postal Address “ of each and every “ Property “ in the country , so that we know WHO owns that property !


Of course , there are millions of “ properties “ which have NO  POSTAL  ADDRESSES  !


Properties ( eg : land parcels / buildings ) located in deserts / jungles / valleys  / on mountain tops or ( may be ) even in City Slums !


So , how can we link Aadhar with a property which does not even have a postal address ?


No problem  !

www.What3Words.com  ,  has divided entire surface of the Earth into 57 trillion squares of 3 meter by 3 meter each


And assigned to each square , a unique combination of 3 words ( currently from 40,000 English words ) – which determines its precise location on the surface of the Earth ( - replacement of Postal Address )


Of these 57 trillion squares ( of 3M * 3M ) , India’s share is 1368 Billion squares ( 2.4 % of entire Earth’s surface area )


So , there is no problem in linking Aadhar Number to ANY NUMBER of squares – whether adjacent / contiguous or separated


Now , the only problem is that millions of our citizens are not familiar with ENGLISH language words


So , I wrote to the support team of …..www.What3Words.com  :
