E- SamikSha Platform
( Eco. Times/ Dec. 19, 2014)

Proposed Feature in  “ Make
In India ” Website


Allows a real time clear view of intra and inter-departmental file movement.


Enable a real time view of all “Interest Message”, being blasted by Foreign Companies to potential Indian Partner companies.


Power to intervene if things are moving slowly.


Enable DIPP to intervene, in respect of those messages where, either our Consul/ Trade Commissioner (posted in the country of the message- sender Foreign Company) or the Industry Secretary of the States (where message- recipient Indian Companies are located ), are SLOW to respond.


Allow the prime Minister to intervene digitally and ask the officer concerned to explain the delay or expedite decision- making.


Enable DIPP to intervene digitally and expedite decision-making by the State Industry Secretaries.

PM’s interventions appear in bright RED on the officer’s screen. Cabinet secretary’s interventions also appear in Red.


In the PERT Activity- Schedule Tabulation, DIPP will “flag” the activities, lying on the CRITICAL PATH.

Warning from other bosses-such as department Secretaries or State Government Chief Secretaries appear in other colors.

Departments other than DIPP, will also “flag” ( in different colour), those activities where decision/ action is required by them. (on PERT Activity- schedule Tabulation.


Before the warning, come the Alerts.

For each “EVENT” on the PERT chart (indicating completion / end of an “Activity” , there will be a MOST LIKELY COMPLETION date).
A few days before this date, a ALERT email will automatically get sent to the department / officer, responsible for completion of the preceding ACTIVITY.

The moment a job is assigned to a department, text messages and “E-mail Alerts” go to all officers responsible for delivery, and (to) their top bosses.

Every “ Interest Message ” (from every Foreign Company ) will be assigned as a TASK for some or other DIPP officer.
Rules will be framed for “assigning “ this automatically .
As soon as “assigned” ,a Email Alert will appear on the PC of the concerned officer.


A unique Identity Number is also automatically generated for each task. This number allows easy digital tracking of a Projects Progress.

“Ditto” for each “Interest Message”.

Every electronic file movement can be monitored at the click of a mouse… and the system allows a boss to retrieve the file’s journey at any point of time.


Physical Movement of files is Not envisaged an “Make In India” portal.

e-SamikSha, is both, a project Monitoring system as well as an audit  trail of the bureaucracy’s efficiency.

Like e- SamikSha , CONTROL PANEL of “Make In India” too, will serve as a Project Monitoring System.
Any delayed decision (by any assigned decision-maker) on the CRITICAL PATH activity, will get automatically transformed to the concerned officer’s ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW.


Over 400 initiatives, project and action points are already being digitally monitored thru e-SamikSha.

We can expect to monitor, hundreds of “ Interest Messages” from Foreign Companies, at any given point of time.

Every task is assigned 4 “status Descriptors”:
·         Not Started
·         Under Implementation
·         Implemented
·         No Further Action required.


Every “ Interest Message ” will have following “Status Descriptors” :

·         Being followed up
·         Completed
·         Project abandoned by Foreign Company.

The PM navigates through e-SamikSha via a “Digital Dashboard” that has customized drop down window- each allowing him to see progress in different areas, such as

·         Infrastructure
·          
·         Administrative Reforms
·          
·         Pending Court Cases
·          
·         Special Campaigns (Swatchh Bharat / Ganga Cleaning)

Secretary –DIPP, Will monitor Make In India “Flight Deck/ Control Panel/ Digital Dashboard ” which will have separate sections for each of the following types of “ Interest Messages ”:

Interest Messages” from Foreign Companies to Indian Companies:

·         Inviting Indian Companies for Technical Collaboration/ Joint Venture
·         Subcontracting/ Outsourcing/ Purchase/ Buying of Product / Services.
·         Invitation for Bids/ Proposals/ Tenders
·         Business offers.

Interest Messages’ from Indian Companies to Foreign Companies

·         Inviting FOREIGN (Non-Indian) Companies for Technical Collaborations/ Join Ventures.
·         Sale of Product/ Services (Export) - 120 Million Cell-phones by 2019 ?


There is a Centre- State module in e- SamikSha to cope with, Co-Ordination issues. Several States have a already started updating the status of “Action Points” that need to be completed at their level.

·         On “Make In India” flight-deck, there will be STATE-WISE windows. Designated officers from each state, will get access to his own STATE WINDOW, (thru appropriate passwords), where he can monitor the PERT Charts for all STATE-related projects and also be able to make appropriate entries.

Human Resource Ministry has its own platform called “HRD- SamikSha.”


__________ ________

Other ministries are also seeking to create their own versions of e-SamikSha for intra ministry file movement.


__________ ________

Every time an “Action Point” is added to this system, it generates a unique Identity Number for the issue and allocates it automatically to the relevant departments that need to act on it.

__________ ________

Every time a meeting is held by these department on the issue, the decision is updated on the portal and higher-level official can step-in at any stage to give directions.

Make In India” flight- deck, will have provision for conducting VIRTUAL VIDEO CONFERENCES (simultaneously), between DIPP officer/ State officer/Foreign Company.
Any concerned party may request for such a Video-conference, however, it will be coordinated by the concerned DIPP officer.
