Hi Friends,

Worth Investigating

 Manish  / Nirmit ,

 

 

From following post , it may be worth talking to SundayGrids :

Thanks. We should see more penetration of smart metering, apart from as makes it possible to pay any discom bill from anywhere through bill pay stacks. Adding onto this the benefit net metering and virtual metering makes it possible for us to get invested in roof top solar projects anywhere in India and offset the solar credit money in any electricity bills of self, friend n family any place in India.

 

For Example I got invested for as little as INR 2500 at a solar rooftop at Lodha Green building at Mumbai and the solar credit share earned from there I can use to pay my electricity bills at MSEDCL Pune, my other set up electricity bill at Ghaziabad UP and my native village home electricity in Southern Odisha.

Amazing on ground applications by team SundayGrids of the new- age tech, paytech stacks aadhar stack and UPI integration  “

Digital solar isn’t like rooftop solar; It doesn't supply power directly to your home, instead, you receive credits to offset your power bill.

These credits are transferred online, enabling you to access solar from places with excellent sunshine regardless of where you are.

headlines from Newspapers

 Sandeep ,

 

During our meeting yesterday , I demonstrated the process of writing a blog, as follows :

 

Ø     Read headlines from newspapers ( I subscribe to Times of India / Economic Times / Hindustan Times / Business Lines )

Ø     Cut out some news , for which I want to write a blog ( I enter on each cutting > Name of paper / date )

Ø     From each cutting, I enter the news-heading in Google to get several related links

Ø     In those links , my first choice is the link from same news paper . If I cannot find , then link from some other source for same “ news “

Ø     I copy / paste the “ News Heading “ and the URL , in a WORD document under “ Context “

Ø     I copy / paste ( entire or partial news from that link ) text under “ Extract “

Ø     I highlight some keywords in the pasted TEXT

Ø     Then I proceed to MY TAKE

Ø     I enter some news-related  keywords in our BLOGGER Dashboard to locate, one or more of my OLD BLOGS about the same subject . When I

          find one suitable / relevant , I type its heading AND URL , under “ My Take “

Ø     Under “ Extract “ , I copy /paste, relevant paragraphs from one of the selected OLD BLOG

 

 

As I mentioned yesterday , most of the times , a link of “ Times of India / Economic Times “ do NOT permit “ copy / paste “  [  pl find out how much would it cost / year for subscription and let me know ]

 

In such case , I adopt one of the following options :

 

Ø     Manually read and TYPE OUT the desired paragraphs from TOI / Eco Times ,       OR

Ø     Select similar news from “ HT / BL “ or any other source ( Hindu /  Indian Express etc ) , which permits copy / paste

 

Please send Dilip to my home tomorrow to pick-up all the news cuttings – which I have segregated newspaper – wise

 

Then create following 4 tabulations ( 3 columns in Excel ? ) – separate one for each news paper :

 

Ø     Title / Heading of the news

Ø     URL of same news title ( in same newspaper  ) – mention whether copy / paste allowed

Ø     If copy / paste NOT allowed, then URL of any other source ( for similar or identical news-heading  ), which DOES allow copy /paste

 

Send these to me and Kishan

 

These tabulations will help Kishan to test BLOG GENIE when ready

 

It will also help Kishan to advise us , which Newspapers we need to subscribe to

 

And of course, these tabulations, will help me to generate ( may be ) 5 / 10 blogs every day , when tool is ready !

 

Apart from newspapers , every day , I come across one or more news ARTICLEs in online sources ( or sent to me as Newsletters to sites which I subscribe to ) . I send these links to myself ( hcp@RecruitGuru.com ) for later detailed reading to decide whether I should use for writing a blog

 

When I send these links while reading on my iPAD , it gets stored in a folder ( which you created ) titled “ iCloud Emails 

 

Here is a crazy thought ( for examining by Kishan ) :

 

Instead of sending these links to hcp@RecruitGuru.com  from my iPAD or PC , could I . possibly send it to “ BlogGenie@RecruitGuru.com “ – and it gets automatically loaded into Blog Genie , straight away ?

 

Now , since I send many of these links ( to myself ) between 8 pm to 10 pm , lying in bed, while pretending to watch TV but reading on iPAD , I have certainly no desire ( or strength ) to write a blog , right away !

 

In this case , could I see next morning , in Blog Genie, a link which reads > Blogs awaiting writing

 

Clicking on this link will list ( say ) 4 links , one each for the blog awaiting to be written ?

BLOG GENIE

 Kishan  ,

 

·     Thanks for your visit to my home this morning

·     I am glad , we were able to ( more or less ) , finalize what the tool should be able to do ( generate blogs in 2 formats + post on Social Media + auto e-mail to select groups ) . As far as posting the generated blog on Blogger is concerned, it seems , I would need to do it manually from a WORD doc generated by tool. This was considering that a generated blog MIGHT contain URL links / images. But, in case it does NOT , then can Blogger API allow auto uploading ? If yes , pl provide for this  “ auto – upload “ option

·     Besides accessing database of my past blogs , tool will also search entire Web ( thru LLM ? ) for finding latest developments on the “ Blog Topic “

·     It is welcome that , we will be able to use FREE APIs

·     The tool and database will be hosted on my home PC

·     I suggest that besides 3000 Blogs database , we also host other WORD documents of > Reports / Notes / Linkedin posts / Emails ( others ) , on my home PC , for tool to access

·     Our tentative target > 09 April 2024

·     Your fees > Vishesh to decide after installation / satisfactory working of the tool

 

Regards,

WORKING IN PARALLEL ?

 Kishan ,

 

Take a look at my following chat with  www.HemenParekh.ai

 

I asked :

 

suggest a suitable policy for planting trees along the highways of Maharashtra and thereby, earn GREEN CREDITS “

 

Avatar replied :

 

“Dear Hemen Parekh, I believe a suitable policy for planting trees along the highways of Maharashtra to earn GREEN CREDITS could involve a comprehensive plan that incentivizes individuals and entities to plant and maintain trees along the highways. This could be tied to a system where the amount of carbon sequestered by these trees is measured and converted into GREEN CREDITS, which can be monetized. Additionally, the policy could encourage the use of native tree species to promote biodiversity and ecological balance. What are your thoughts on this approach? “

 

 

I asked :

 

“ Devise a strategy for advancing the use of Electric Vehicles in North-East region of India “

 

Avatar replied :

 

“  I believe that to advance the use of electric vehicles in the North East region of India, we should focus on creating a comprehensive infrastructure that supports electric vehicles. This includes setting up charging stations along major highways and in urban areas, providing incentives for electric vehicle adoption, and promoting public awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles. Additionally, we can explore partnerships with local governments and businesses to develop policies that encourage the use of electric vehicles and invest in renewable energy sources to power these vehicles. What do you think about this approach? “

 

 

What relevance , if any , could this [ chat ] have with our meeting on Saturday ?

 

Consider this :

 

If these questions were posed to “  NITI for States “ portal described below , with its HUGE and RELEVANT databases , could it generate , STRATEGIES / POLICIES , ( exhaustive documents for use by officers of Maharashtra / Nagaland ), who “ query “ this portal ?

 

I think it could – based on a SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE ( for Blog Genie ) suggested by you

DPI platform ‘Niti for States’ to offer key insights to officials..  Eco Times  /  07 March 2024

Extract :

 

The government’s public policy advisory body Niti Aayog is launching a digital cross-sectoral knowledge platform called Niti for States, which will create a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for policy and governance. It may also make the platform, likely to be launched on Thursday, artificial intelligence-enabled, official sources told ET.

Niti for States will have a multi-sectoral live repository of :

 

#  7,500 best practices,

#  5,000 policy documents,

#  900 datasets,

#  1,400 data profiles of states, districts, blocks etc.

 

-   broken down by demography and socioeconomic indicators, and

350 NITI publications.

While the platform will be accessible online to all to help think-tanks, academia etc., the primary goal is to enable better policymaking as a ‘one stop shop’ for officials down to local levels to access robust, contextually relevant and actionable knowledge and insights for quality decision making.

It will also have knowledge products spanning 10 sectors including agriculture, education, energy, health, livelihoods and skilling, manufacturing, MSME, tourism, urban, water resources and sanitation and hygiene, across two cross-cutting themes—gender and climate.

The platform is integrated with Niti Aayog’s National Data Analytics Platform as the main data source.

“Niti for States comes from a basic mandate of Niti Aayog, which is to foster cooperative federalism and aid good governance with a whole-of government approach… This requires interoperability of databases and real-time sharing of work, for which going digital is the only way,” an official said.

 

Around six states have been on-boarded to access and engage with the platform already, and all have been approached to upload their data and best practices to populate the platform.

Apart from the online portal, Niti Aayog will also launch a voice-enabled Viksit Bharat Strategy Room in its premises, which will in future have 
multilingual capabilities in 22 languages. The platform repository has been input in the room to enable rich data visualisation for immersive engagement with knowledge and insights for effective in-person discussions and decision making.

The National e-Governance Division was the service provider for setting up the room.

The experience room aims to revolutionise policymaking by integrating data-driven insights, fostering collaboration, and enabling evidence-based governance. Through the convergence of 
cutting-edge technologygeospatial data and real-time monitoring, the experience room will empower policymakers to navigate complex challenges and steer the nation towards sustainable growth and development,” Saurav Bhaik, founder and CEO of tech-experiential company Tagbin, which provided the technology for the strategy room, told ET.

The company’s speech-to-text and text-to-speech software, along with multilingual capabilities through the government’s Anuvadini initiative, were used to make the centre voice-enabled, he added.

The official said that states will ideally leverage the centrally-made software package to 
replicate the strategy room in their respective capitals going forward, with added tools and local contextualisation.
