Man who sees
Future
---------------------------------
Our PM Shri Modiji is one such person
Not only because he understands how AI / Machine
Learning / Block-chain / Big Data / Digitization of Government processes etc.,
can be instrumental in changing ( for better ) , lives of millions of poor
Indians
But also because he can visualize how exactly those “
changes “ must appear on the ground and how to implement the same
Proof :
He just set up :
PM – STIAC [
Prime Minister’s Science, Technology and Innovation
Advisory Council ],
under chairmanship of the principal scientific advisor
, Professor K VijayRaghavan
The committee will advise the
Prime Minister on all matters related to S&T, innovation and monitor the
implementation of PM’s vision on
the same.
It will facilitate the
formulation and implementation of policies and decisions,
provide action-oriented and future preparedness ,
advise and assist in directing S&T to solve the socio economic
problems in the country.
It will also have a large
focus on driving innovation in education, research, industry etc.
I urge the Members of PM-STIAC , to consider the ‘
technologies “ listed in my following email ( to the Cabinet Ministers / NITI
Aayog / PM-EAC members ), for “ solving socio economic problems “
faced by India
This is , by no means , a comprehensive list
The best way to make it comprehensive ( and to “
prioritize “ it ), is to publish it ONLINE , asking citizens to “ Rank ( Top /
Moderate / Low ) “ and ADD new items
Need of
the hour ? : TEAM [
21 April 2017
]
By TEAM , I
mean : Technology Evaluation and Acquisition Minister
Whose job
description will be :
Remain
constantly on look-out for developing / developed technologies from around the
World , evaluate their relevance to India’s myriad problems and acquire the
same from the developers ( including patent rights / IP rights , to exploit it
/ improve upon it )
Make
available these acquired technologies to Indian Companies ( both , in private
and in public sectors ) / NGOs / Start-Ups etc , FREE of cost ( conditions
apply in respect of production targets / pricing / time to implement /
after-sales service etc ! )
Following
are some such technologies :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems :
Unavailability of clean drinking water in drought / famine
affected areas
Pollution thru Plastic Bottles / Mountains of Land Fills – Garbage
Dumps
Tech from
:
Prof
Omar Yaghi ( Uni of California ) / Skipping Rock Labs ( UK )

Problem :
Loss of Forest cover / Rampant Desertification
Tech

Zhong
Zhihua, Chinese Scientist (Chongqing Jiaotong University ).

Problem
:
Millions sleeping in Streets / Slums, for want of
affordable houses
Tech

Problem :
Traffic Jams on City Roads / Hours to reach Office-Home
Tech from
:
Electric
Front Wheel for Bicycle from Geo-Orbital ( Cambridge – USA )

Problem :
Charging of Batteries of Electric Vehicles takes hours !
Tech from
:
Flash
Battery Charger from Stores-Dot ( Israel )
Details at :
Problem :
No transmission lines for taking electricity to far-flung villages
Tech from
:
Bicycle
Generated Power from Manoj Bhargava ( BillionsinChange )
Details at :
Problem :
No way to store ( for use at night ), billions of KWH of Solar Power
Tech from
:
PowerPack
Batteries from Elon Musk ( TESLA )
Details at :
Problem :
Fossil Fuel Power killing millions / Urgent need to generate Solar
Power
Tech from :
All over the
World
Details at :
Problem :
Dependence on import for Li-ion batteries / Fast charging button
batteries
Tech from :
Thangadurai [ vthangad@ucalgary.ca ] says :
“ The
technology we have developed would enable absolutely stable, robust, safe,
high-powered, all solid state lithium batteries for future energy storage ,
which have many potential applications , including charging
of electric vehicles “
And then
there is Israeli firm Stores-Dot , which claims to be developing a car battery that can be
charged in 5 minutes and give a range of 300 miles !
A research group at the University of California (UCR), Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering has developed
nano silicon anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, by simply using
a low-cost chemical process and waste
glass bottles.
The
batteries will not only extend the range of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, but also provide extra
power with fewer charges to laptops, cell phones, and similar personal electronics.
Problem :
High value currency notes facilitating generation of BLACK
MONEY
Tech
from :
RFID
technology from Sanjay Sarma ( MIT ) [ SESARMA@MIT.EDU ]

( from Google ) / Drones ( from Facebook )
Problem
:
Poor road construction methods resulting in perennial
pot-holes
Tech
from :
Cold
Asphalt technology from COLAS ( France )

Let
us hope that PM - STIAC [ Prime Minister’s Science, Technology and
Innovation Advisory Council ] , does not remain , a mere THINK TANK but assumes the role of an ACT TANK , in order
to galvanize various govt ministries / departments / agencies , into
" GO GETTERS " , who will pick up the phone or catch a flight ,
( after reading this blog ) and not rest till these TECHNOLOGIES / INNOVATIONS
and even those INDIAN SCIENTISTS working abroad , are brought to India
