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 using cutting-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 Pigouvian
approach to transport pricing, which I agree would be great.

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 “ !
