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?"

THERE IS STILL SOME WAY TO GO


BHIM   will  recognize  you

-----------------------------
Following news appeared in DNA ( 31 May 2018 ) :





Extract :

Currently, users need to enter a UPI PIN created by them for enabling transactions. The new feature of voice recognition will be available in addition to PIN option, giving users another secure way of managing the application, a senior government official told DNA Money.

This will also improve ease of using the digital payment app as it will be convenient for many to use their voice as the password.

Dear Shri Hota :


Just read your views in Eco Times (13 June / Start Ups and the Sarkar ), where you say,



“ We are very happy with Start Ups

Post BHIM we have decided as a policy to work with Start Ups in developing new products and applications to enhance the payments eco-system “



Could the next improvement in BHIM , be a “ Voice Activated “ version ( BHIM V 4.0 ) , as described in :


BHIM , the Unstoppable  [  14  April  2017  ]


This breakthrough will enable millions of illiterate / rural Indians to start using BHIM


Earlier , I have penned my suggestions in :


Let  BHIM  get  MAD      [  21  May  2017  ]


A  Beerud  named  BHIM  ?  [  17  April  2017  ]

Dear SNS,



If you so desire , I could myself write to Kant / ASSOCHAM / CII , etc but those emails may not get read !


But , coming from you , not only will these get read, but get appreciated as a noble CSR initiative on part of L&T to contribute towards growth of MSME .  A communication from you will get ACTED UPON !


It is more than a year since we started on this project . In this “ Relay Race “ , it is time to handover the baton to the next players !


With regards,

At the outset , allow me to thank you for sparing your time this morning , to view the demo of :




I am enthused by your very encouraging response to this L&T initiative in discharging it’s Corporate Social Responsibility


Ganesh / Rakesh will try to host the web site ( temporarily ) on my office Server , early next week


As soon as done , they will send the URL to you / PRK , for uploading 500 / 1000 documents , to test proper working of the site


In the meantime , I will appreciate if you can line up meeting with ASSOCHAM / CII presidents , when Ganesh / myself can go explain the concept


I also attach my past emails to Shri Amitabh Kant , starting with my first mail some 3 YEARS back – and his positive support to this idea


I request you to speak to him , for his help

DECENTRALIZING POWER :


Roof Top Solar : Better Alternative






 

 It’s Official. All New California Homes Must Incorporate Solar 


https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/solar-mandate-all-new-california-homes#gs.H_OcA_0

 

Starting in 2020, virtually all new homes in California will be required to incorporate advanced efficiency measures and rooftop solar — in an historic development for clean energy in the state

 

The new rules apply specifically to all new residences and major home renovations on buildings under three stories, starting on January 1, 2020. In the event a building isn’t suitable for a rooftop array, the standards require homes have access to community solar or offset energy usage through additional efficiency gains, while some homes may be exempt.

Around 15,000 new homes are built each year that include solar panels, according to the CEC. When the new standards take effect, that number is expected to jump to around 100,000 new solar homes per year.

 

Now under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana , we , in India plan to construct 11 million homes by 2022


https://myblogepage.blogspot.in/2018/05/solarindia-renewableenergy-mnre.html

 

As I have repeatedly advocated in my previous blogs ( sent as emails to all Policy Makers ) , this is our opportunity to clean up our polluted environment by mandating that ALL of these 11 million homes will have Roof Top Solar power plants – along with storage batteries


This produce all the GREEN POWER that we have targeted for 2022 (  100 GW  )



Each residential building will produce / store and consume its OWN power , without having to depend upon DISCOMS


No need for metering /  transformers / substations / cables / transmission lines !


No need for DISCOM to maintain the infrastructure ! or worry about thefts ! or sign Power Purchase Agreements – and then worry about rescinding !


Those who have doubts re my suggestion are requested to read :



Extract :

The Tesla plan, funded by a two million dollar grant and 30 million dollar loan from the Australian state’s government, could scale up to 50 thousand solar-powered home batteries if the earlier stages are successful.

In addition to the Liberal Party’s own 100 million dollar program — which would subsidize about 2,500 dollars of installation costs per household — this means that South Australia may have a grid of some 90 thousand solar-powered homes within the next few years.

If everything goes as planned this could make South Australia a world leader. It could also be a major proving ground, not just for renewable energy, but also for decentralized “virtual” power plants – a  new type of energy infrastructure that’s gained some popular traction lately.
