IT IS NOT TOO LATE , EVEN NOW FOR NEXT BUDGET

3  years  to  cover  32  Km  ?

--------------------------------

How many more years ( or Lok Sabha elections ) will it take to cover 3200 Km  ?

CONTEXT :

Ahemedabad based cardiologist Dr Tejas Patel , performed remote angioplasty on a patient from a distance of 32 km , what is claimed to be , “ the World’s first in-human telerobotic coronary intervention “

Sources :

Seated 32 km away, city doctor fixes woman's heart 

BRAVO: Gujarat Doctor Performs World’s 1st Robotic Angioplasty 30 km away from patient ]

WHAT DR PATEL SAID :

“  Today, the patient was 32 km away . Tomorrow , using the same technology , it will be possible for expert hands to operate on patients anywhere in the State, country and World

This has the power to transform coronary interventions in practice and beyond . Surgeons can cater to patients from anywhere if they are at a facility with a cath lab, a robotic arm and a reliable internet connection

Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke , are the number one cause of death worldwide , resulting in nearly 18 million mortalities per year

The application of telerobotics in India has the potential to impact a significant number of lives by providing access to care that may not otherwise have been possible

The success paves the way for large-scale , long-distance telerobotic platforms across the globe “

SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PIONEERING STEP :

The cost of a coronary angioplasty around the world are as follows ( in US $  ) :

Poland   ………………  3,950

India      ……………… 6,523

Spain   ………………  12,312

UAE    ………………   13,027

Israel  ……………….  13, 500

Germany  …………… 17,000

Australia  …………… 22,000

UK  …………………..   25,000

USA   ………………..  30,000

FAST BACKWARD TO  09  SEPT  2015 :

In my email to Cabinet Ministers , here is what I wrote :

We depend upon you to bring the jobs to India - jobs such as ,

  *   Operating Machinery in Factories abroad

  *   Controlling Air Traffic at Airports around the World

  *   Operating upon patients in Hospitals , all over the World

  *   Teaching students in Schools , in remote Africa

  *   Any job that currently requires immediate presence of a worker

[ source : " BACK FACTORY " OF THE WORLD ?  ]

 

NEEDED  :  A  RELIABLE INTERNET CONNECTION

GSAT-11 is expected to bring far greater speeds (16 Gbps of it, no less) to meet the growing data demands of Indian telecom subscribers. It is also expected to bridge the communication gap between the country's urban and rural population. Large parts of rural areas still remain untouched by the scope of commercial telecom today — something GSAT-11 is designed to address.

Under Digital India's BharatNet project, GSAT-11 will boost access to voice and video streaming in most, if not all, of rural India, ISRO said.

“With India moving fast towards implementing ‘Smart Villages and Cities’, they can be efficiently linked through a large communication satellite,” K Sivan, chairman of ISRO, said in a curtain raiser.

WHAT IS HOLDING BACK INDIA FROM BECOMING “ BACK FACTORY TO THE WORLD “  ?

Could it be that BJP is waiting to get 400 + seats in Lok Sabha in 2019 elections , in order to usher this REFORM that can catapult India to a $ 5 TRILLION economy by 2022 ?

If so , we must provide BJP with such an absolute majority ( both , in Lok Sabha and in Rajya Sabha ) that this reform gets approved in ONE DAY

This reform does NOT require passing any NEW LAW in Lok Sabha  !
