DIGITAL   INDIA  ?

To take our GDP growth-rate above 10 % , it is absolutely necessary to empower each and every citizen digitally

This can only happen when all of them get internet-connected

To enable such connectivity , following conditions must be met :

SMART PHONES :

All citizens must have G4 / Wi-Fi capable / GPS - NFC enabled mobile phones

This is something competition among manufacturers will take care

BROAD-BAND  :

Entire country ( every nook and corner ) gets connected with , either land-based fiber optic broadband or wireless broadband , with minimum speed of 100 mbps ( as in S. Korea )

For this , the Central Govt must persuade Google ( Loons ) / Microsoft ( White space ) / Amazon ( low orbit satellites ) and other MSPs

E MAIL  ID :

Every citizen must be, allotted / assigned , a FREE Email Id , based on his / her Aadhar Number ( xyz@digitalindia.com ? )

This must be done by the Central Government

ONLINE  CITIZEN  DATABASE :

E-Mail Ids / Mobile Numbers / Postal Addresses of all the citizens should be easily accessible / searchable in an Online Citizen Database ( remember those printed Phone No Directories of MTNL / BSNL , of 30 years ago ? )

Any citizen can EDIT his own database by login from his Mobile phone only

And why not a similar ONLINE / freely SEARCHABLE database of :

#    3+ Lakh Companies in Organized Sector

#    30 + Million MSME Companies

And why not enable anyone to be able to send E Mail Messages to any of these Companies from the web site of Department of Company Affairs or of Registrar of Companies or of web site of Ministry of MSME ?

Just imagine the boost this small step will give to trade !

INTERNET  ADDRESS :

All electrically / electronically operated devices / gadgets / appliances etc , must be assigned IP V 6.0 address , before being sold

Beginning may be made with screens of all types ( Mobile / Tablets / PC / TV / Bank Locker Cover , etc )

And , above all , the UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER on each currency note of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 , will also become it's IP V 6.0 address

Let IoT ( Internet of Things ) begin with these currency notes

Mr Vishal Sikka would be glad to help out !

TRACKING   MONEY   FLOW  :

All currency notes of Rs 500 / 1000 , to have built-in RFID chips

Accumulation of a large number of RFID chips in any single location ( including private safe deposit lockers / wall cavities etc ) , to show up as a TAG CLOUD , on web site of Income Tax Department / Google Maps etc

Implication of this " Reform " is enormous

Currently , some 97 % of payments in India are made in cash

This reform alone will ensure that , within one year , ALL payments are made through Cheques / official banking channels / mobile wallets !

Who wants a BIG tag-cloud on his bank locker ?

Now couple this with other following reforms :

*  Abolish Personal Income Tax (Revenue loss = Rs 2.45 lakh*crores )

*  Introduce Bank Transaction Tax - BTT ( Income = Rs 15 lakh*crore )

*  GST revenue due to those 97 % official transactions (Additional Rs 50 lakh*crore ? )

*  Other reforms suggested by at..www...hemenparekh...in>Blog such as

  #    Conducting ALL elections , using  : VotesApp : mobile app

  #    Delivery of Govt services , using : I SIN><U SIN : mobile app

  #    Eliminate Black Money ( Create Wealth to Create Jobs )

  #    Generate Clean Energy ( From Greed to Great ? )

  #    Health Care  ( 3D-Digital Delivery of Drugs )

  #    Paperless Society  ( Digital Locker )

  #    Govt Budgets ( Budgeting by Objectives  )

  #    Increase Domestic Saving-rate ( Jan Dhan Sarjan Yojana )
