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

It is time you come up with HINDI language version for India’s 1.3
Billion people , where millions live
/ sleep on footpaths ( sidewalks )
