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?"

Welcome NATGRID : Thank You, Shri Amitbhai Shah : FOR THIS, I WAITED FOR 8 YEARS !

 Welcome NATGRID  :  Thank You, Shri Amitbhai  Shah

 

 

 

Context :

 

 

Centre plans national database to strengthen policing and criminal investigation ../  ET  /  04  May 2022

 

 Extract :

NATGRID is the integrated intelligence master

 database structure for counter-terrorism purposes,

 connecting databases of various CORE  SECURITY 

 AGENCIES under the Govt of India , collecting

 COMPREHENSIVE  PATTERNS procured from 21

 DIFFERENT  ORGANIZATIONS , that can be readily

 ACCESSED by SECURITY AGENCIES , around the

 Clock

 

MY  TAKE  :

Ø  DATA is better than Third Degree ………………………[  25  April  2022  ]

 

Extract :

 

Ø  E - Governance ?  ...................................... [ 03 April 2014 ]

 

(  AN  8 YEAR WAIT / PERSEVERANCE, HAS FINALLY PAID OFF ! NEVER SAY DIE !  ) 

 

Extract :

 

Can e-Governance help eliminate corruption  ?

Most certainly

Look at the following , partial list of Central and State Agencies set up to fight

fraud , money-laundering , corruption , tax-evasion , economic crimes etc :

 

>  Public Accounts Committee           (  PAC  )

 

>  Central Vigilance Commission        (  CVC  )

 

>  Central Information Commission     (  CIC  )

 

>  Research and Analysis Wing           (  RAW  )

 

>  Serious Fraud Investigation Office   (  SFIO  )

 

>  Information Bureau                        (  IB   )

 

>  Economic Offence Wing                   (  EOW  )

 

>  Central Bureau of Investigation        (  CBI  )

 

>  Department of Revenue Intelligence (  DIR  )

 

>  Comptroller and Auditor General       (  CAG  )

 

>  Anti Corruption Bureaus ( States ).... (  ACB  )

 

>  Enforcement Directorate                    (  ED   )

 

>  Lok  Ayukts    (  States   )

 

>  Lok Pal           ( Central  )

 

 

Despite such an army of Agencies , how do corrupt manage to get away  ?

Or , in case caught , manage to delay delivery of punishment for years  ?

No doubt , there must be several reasons , including , inter - agency rivalry to get credit - something difficult to eliminate altogether

But , I believe , the most important reason is :

 

Lack of a COMMON  / COMPUTERIZED database of all offences / cases / persons being investigated

 

And , which is readily " Accessible " to all of these Agencies , all over the country ( 24 * 365 )

 

Already , every Agency compiles huge dossiers on " Suspects " in its own "

Departmental Database " , which is never shared with other Agencies , leading

to ,

 

>   Huge amount of duplication of efforts / information

 

>   Fractured / scattered profiles of " Suspects "

 

>   Enormous waste of time / resources

 

 

What will help  ?

  

>  Dismantling of individual departmental databases

 

>  Merging of all Agency-wise databases into a SINGLE / UNIQUE database

 

>  All Agencies to enter their findings / data / info into this COMMON database ,

    with nothing preserved on  local computers

 

>  All data-entry FORMS to be ONLINE . No paper forms at all

 

>  All local computers connected to ultra-secure Network ( Encrypted )

 

>  " Access Rights " to individuals , based on Biometric Identification
