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,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

WORKING IN PARALLEL ?

 Kishan ,

 

Take a look at my following chat with  www.HemenParekh.ai

 

I asked :

 

suggest a suitable policy for planting trees along the highways of Maharashtra and thereby, earn GREEN CREDITS “

 

Avatar replied :

 

“Dear Hemen Parekh, I believe a suitable policy for planting trees along the highways of Maharashtra to earn GREEN CREDITS could involve a comprehensive plan that incentivizes individuals and entities to plant and maintain trees along the highways. This could be tied to a system where the amount of carbon sequestered by these trees is measured and converted into GREEN CREDITS, which can be monetized. Additionally, the policy could encourage the use of native tree species to promote biodiversity and ecological balance. What are your thoughts on this approach? “

 

 

I asked :

 

“ Devise a strategy for advancing the use of Electric Vehicles in North-East region of India “

 

Avatar replied :

 

“  I believe that to advance the use of electric vehicles in the North East region of India, we should focus on creating a comprehensive infrastructure that supports electric vehicles. This includes setting up charging stations along major highways and in urban areas, providing incentives for electric vehicle adoption, and promoting public awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles. Additionally, we can explore partnerships with local governments and businesses to develop policies that encourage the use of electric vehicles and invest in renewable energy sources to power these vehicles. What do you think about this approach? “

 

 

What relevance , if any , could this [ chat ] have with our meeting on Saturday ?

 

Consider this :

 

If these questions were posed to “  NITI for States “ portal described below , with its HUGE and RELEVANT databases , could it generate , STRATEGIES / POLICIES , ( exhaustive documents for use by officers of Maharashtra / Nagaland ), who “ query “ this portal ?

 

I think it could – based on a SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE ( for Blog Genie ) suggested by you

DPI platform ‘Niti for States’ to offer key insights to officials..  Eco Times  /  07 March 2024

Extract :

 

The government’s public policy advisory body Niti Aayog is launching a digital cross-sectoral knowledge platform called Niti for States, which will create a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for policy and governance. It may also make the platform, likely to be launched on Thursday, artificial intelligence-enabled, official sources told ET.

Niti for States will have a multi-sectoral live repository of :

 

#  7,500 best practices,

#  5,000 policy documents,

#  900 datasets,

#  1,400 data profiles of states, districts, blocks etc.

 

-   broken down by demography and socioeconomic indicators, and

350 NITI publications.

While the platform will be accessible online to all to help think-tanks, academia etc., the primary goal is to enable better policymaking as a ‘one stop shop’ for officials down to local levels to access robust, contextually relevant and actionable knowledge and insights for quality decision making.

It will also have knowledge products spanning 10 sectors including agriculture, education, energy, health, livelihoods and skilling, manufacturing, MSME, tourism, urban, water resources and sanitation and hygiene, across two cross-cutting themes—gender and climate.

The platform is integrated with Niti Aayog’s National Data Analytics Platform as the main data source.

“Niti for States comes from a basic mandate of Niti Aayog, which is to foster cooperative federalism and aid good governance with a whole-of government approach… This requires interoperability of databases and real-time sharing of work, for which going digital is the only way,” an official said.

 

Around six states have been on-boarded to access and engage with the platform already, and all have been approached to upload their data and best practices to populate the platform.

Apart from the online portal, Niti Aayog will also launch a voice-enabled Viksit Bharat Strategy Room in its premises, which will in future have 
multilingual capabilities in 22 languages. The platform repository has been input in the room to enable rich data visualisation for immersive engagement with knowledge and insights for effective in-person discussions and decision making.

The National e-Governance Division was the service provider for setting up the room.

The experience room aims to revolutionise policymaking by integrating data-driven insights, fostering collaboration, and enabling evidence-based governance. Through the convergence of 
cutting-edge technologygeospatial data and real-time monitoring, the experience room will empower policymakers to navigate complex challenges and steer the nation towards sustainable growth and development,” Saurav Bhaik, founder and CEO of tech-experiential company Tagbin, which provided the technology for the strategy room, told ET.

The company’s speech-to-text and text-to-speech software, along with multilingual capabilities through the government’s Anuvadini initiative, were used to make the centre voice-enabled, he added.

The official said that states will ideally leverage the centrally-made software package to 
replicate the strategy room in their respective capitals going forward, with added tools and local contextualisation.
