A
Grand Challenge ?
=============
Some 20 days back ,
PM Shri Modi threw a challenge
Extract :
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a grand challenge to
further improve India’s position in the World Bank’s ease of
doing business ranking to the top 50 by usingcutting-edge technology to
reform government processes.
At a
meeting with top industry honchos and policymakers to discuss the ease of doing
business ranking, in which India jumped to 77th position this year, Modi sought
input based on areas such as
· Artificial Intelligence,
· Internet of Things,
· Big Data Analytics , and
· Block-Chain
to streamline and speed up processes to
improve overall business environment in the country.
===========================================================================
I urge
IIMs - IITs - ISBs – Institutes offering courses in Transport /
Traffic Managements etc to rise to the occasion and develop a technology
platform to implement :
Here is what Prof Tom Davidoff [ Associate
professor - UBC Sauder School of Business ] wrote to me about
my concept outlined above :
==================================================
Hemen
Thank you for this note.
What you propose sounds like an integrated
Pigouvianapproach to transport pricing, which
I agree would be great.
Regards,
Tom [ Davidoff, Thomas thomas.davidoff@sauder.ubc.ca

========================================
In India , when the smart phones have
nearly obsoleted the land lines , we are in the process of installing thousands
of CCTV cameras on the roads to monitor
vehicular traffic
Question :
With our very own NaviC satellite capable of tracking each vehicle
on the roads of India , can we not bypass the CCTV technology ?
For that matter , how long before NaviC obsoletes the RADARS at our airport ATC
towers to track , not only each plane but thousands of DRONES , in real time ?
If Shri
Nitin Gadkariji agrees to giving a grant of ( say ) Rs 10 crores ,
I am sure one of the Institutes mentioned below , would develop such a platform
in 6 months !
But it is also possible that some Professor
in one of the institutes may not wait for such a grant and guide this as a “student project “ !
