Dear Rajiv ,


I reproduce below , two of my old blogs

These pertain to my concept of Mobile Apps which , I believe , have potential to bring about an e-governance revolution

I have sent these to several Ministers / Politicians / Policy Makers and to Chief Election Commissioner

But no acknowledgement  !

VotesApp



Here is a suggestion to IIT-Bombay , to develop a voting app , to be called VotesApp. Highlights of VotesApp :

Ø  An Android app which can be downloaded from Google Play / Android Zoom / GetJar and the official web site of Election Commission of India

Ø  It will be pre-loaded on 220 million Aakash tablets  which Govt of India plans to distribute to students

Ø  It will also be pre-loaded on those Smart phones ( to be called, “ Dharati “ ? ), which Govt of India plans to distribute free to 400 million “ poor “ Indians , before 2014 National elections

Ø  All tablet / smart phone manufacturers will be encouraged to pre-load VotesApp

Ø  Using this app , a voter can register at Election Commission web site, where he will enter the same data which he has submitted for his Aadhar card, including Aadhar card number (Unique Identification No)

Ø  All of these details will be verified by Aadhar database

Ø  Obviously , those who have not obtained their Aadhar card , will not be able to use VotesApp . They will need to visit nearest polling booth

Ø  Upon correct verification , Aadhar Database will permanently link the person’s Aadhar number with the mobile number from which  registration is done, and issue a Password

Ø  An under aged person will not be allowed to register

Ø  A person will be able to vote only from that mobile number

Ø  After login on first screen, user will be asked to select one option from > Panchayat Election > Municipal Election > State Assembly Election > Lok-Sabha Election

Ø  Upon selection, user will be presented with the list of candidates contesting , from which , he can select only one by ticking a checkbox. There will be also a choice , labeled “ None “

Ø  A long press on a candidate’s name will display details of his declared assets as also his criminal record


Ø  After ticking / selecting a candidate, voter will click on  “ VOTE “ button, whereupon his vote gets registered and VotesApp gets inactivated

Ø  Once a voter registers on Election Commission web site , he cannot go to a poling booth and vote physically

Ø  In less than one year , Govt of India will recover the cost of 220 million Aakash tablets and 400 million” Dharati “ smart phones , through this customized / personalized / shrinking of EVMs ( Electronic Voting Machines ) to a hand-held device. And imagine the millions of man-hours saved !

Ø  And the beauty is , no one can capture this booth , or conduct exit polls ! What will “ experts “ discuss on TV channels ?

Ø  What next ? Election Commission “licensing “ this App to other countries ?

I SIN><U SIN



That could be the name of an android app ( I Seek It Now > < U Solve It Now )

To be developed by India’s Central Home Ministry for successful implementation of proposed,

“ Delivery  of  Services  Act “

The app will come pre-installed on those mobile phones which Government of India plans to distribute FREE , to some 400 million “ Poor People “ of India , before the 2014 National Election ( and on those 220 million Aakash Tablets )

Issuer will enter the Mobile No and that person’s Aadhar Card No, in a computerised central database , before issuing the phone
Hence , no need to login to the App , whose screen will read,

“ I wish to send my complaint to the following department :
  • National Commission for Women

  • Garbage Clearance

  • Water Supply

  • Electricity Supply

  • Roads Repair

  • Rationing ( Food Distribution )

  • Police

  • Bus Transport

  • Railways

  • Post

  • Employment

  • Education

  • Irrigation

  • Building Permits

  • Revenue / Land Records

  • Anti Corruption

  • Other ……………………………………….etc
(List should not exceed 50)

Touching name of any department name will open a SMS message box where the user will type out his complaint ( in a language of his choice )

There will be option to speak-out and record voice message , for illiterate users

Touching SEND button will transmit the complaint and within minutes, user will receive SMS reply , giving,
  • Name of Officer responsible

  • Office Landline No

  • Mobile No

  • Email Id

  • Complaint No

  • Expected date of solving

Bingo !

Then publish online , a tabulation of departments , arranged in the descending order of the no of complaints received / cleared / pending!

This frugal innovation will bring in Good Governance all over India
Request Nandan Nilekani / Sam Pitroda to help out , even though they may be busy implementing my earlier suggested app , 

“ VotesApp “



I have no doubt that the political party which promises , “ I SIN >< U SIN “ ,  will get voted to power in 2014

WHY    PENALIZE     POOR     FARMERS   ?


Why take away " ownership " of their land ?

We know that this ownership is not profitable for the farmers

By continuing to till those lands for a pittance , farmers are obliging the rest of the society

They barely manage to eke out a subsistence-level living , even when rains are good

Rest of the times , they remain perpetually  indebted to " Shahukars "

On an average , 17,000 farmers commit suicide each year , when they fail to repay their debt ( - may be , no more than Rs 20,000/- ! )

Have you ever heard a Businessman or an Industrialist commit suicide , after willfully defaulting to repay bank loans of Rs 20 Crores / 200 Crores ?

No , they go on Swiss Holiday ! ( You guessed right why Swiss ! )

How many " Lakhs*Crores " have banks written off as NPA over the years ?

Is any banker losing his / her sleep ?

No !  Just write-off or ask Government for " Re-Capitalization " !

Why can't we write-off our " Societal Debt " to farmers by paying each farmer-family , a sum of Rs 20,000 / - per month ?

That is less than what we ( thru the Central and the State Governments ) have been paying by way of wages to millions of workers employed by PSUs , for the past 60 years  !

Workers who have NO WORK ( - since there is NO DEMAND for what those PSUs produce ? ) , but still troop in every morning to punch attendance - then play cards on the shop-floor for the rest of the day !

Has any Minister / MP / MLA, bothered to visit these PSUs , incognito ?

How many " Lakhs*Crores " of rupees have the honest tax-payers paid over these years , to protect their " Idle / Non Productive " jobs ?

And , did we not pay another " Lakhs*Crores " to hundreds of erstwhile Rajahs / Maharajahs ( - and their children ) for 50 years , by way of " Saliyana " ( Pension / Annuity ) , for divesting of their Kingdoms ?

Even as they were " legally " permitted to retain all of their ill-gotten wealth ,accumulated over the years by plundering the " Praja " ?

So , why can't we take care of our farmers' families for the next 25 years ?

Why this double standard ?

When a clever professional can be paid " Sweat Equity " in an enterprise for contributing his brain power , why can't we pay similar Equity to farmers , for allowing us to use their lands ?

Central Government is planning to fund ( by way of EQUITY ) ,thousands of " Start-Ups " , and has set aside Rs 10,000 Crores for this purpose

Does Central Government believe , any of these will pay dividend for the next 10 years ?

Of Course , not !

Please , have mercy on the farmers , who continue to display the highest " Work Ethics " of any working group , in this country !


*   Do not take away their " Ownership " of their land

*   Request them to allow Governments ( Central + States ) to become
     " Co - Owners "

*  For allowing such " Co-Ownership " , give them EQUITY in the concerned
    Project ( separate SPV for each project )

*  Give them some immediate " Joining Bonus " in cash ( do not call it " Compensation " )

*  Give them monthly " Rental " for land-lease ( do not call it " Subsidy " )



This is all about , " Sabka Saath , Sabka Vikas "

(  My  email  to  Shri Gadkariji  on   23 March 2015  )


Dear Nitin Gadkariji,


Farmers are opposing this bill for the following reasons :

>    Low / Inadequate compensation

>    Once land is sold , not being able to benefit from the appreciation of land value , when the project comes up

>   Private parties bought their land at low price and then sold it ( mostly to private builders ) for a whooping profit


I think there is a simple solution to the concerns expressed by the farmers . Please consider the following :


>     Each project will be tied to a specific SPV , created for that purpose only

>    In the first instance , affected farmers will create a " Cooperative Society " 

>   Co-operative Society will issue shares to each land-donor farmer , in proportion to the QUANTITY / VALUE of the land donated by him

>   In turn , Co-operative Society will receive shares in the SPV , equal to the value of the land + a cash compensation equal to 4 times the value of the land

>  Farmer's shares of Cooperative Society cannot be sold in open market before 5 years but can be gifted to wife / Children

>  Shares of Cooperative Society in the SPV itself cannot be sold for next 10 years

>  The " Cash-Value Compensation " received by the Co-operative Society ( ie 4 times the land value ),  will be deployed as follows :

   *  To be immediately paid in cash to the farmers............ 2 times

   *  To be deposited in the Jan-Dhan Account of each farmer as FIXED DEPOSIT ( with 10 @ interest ).............2 times


Dear Gadkariji ,


My proposal will ensure :


>     Immediate attractive compensation to farmers

>     Recurring income from FD in Jan Dhan account ( for a sustained livelihood )

>     Continued sense of " Ownership " in the SPV / Project , which will facilitate QUICK implementation without resistance

>     Willing farmers themselves canvassing / convincing " Reluctant " farmers

>     No fear of private parties benefiting by appreciation of land value

>    A sense of " Enlarged Participation " thru Co-operative Society representing them on the Board of Directors of SPV

>    Board Representation enabling farmers to ensure that honest decisions are being taken


PLEASE , GIVE  THIS  SUGGESTION   A  CONSIDERATION

Gujarat Govt to buy land in joint venture with farmers

(  Source :  Times  of  India  /  07  May  2015  )

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



GANDHINAGAR: Even as the Land Acquisition Bill gives heartburn to the Narendra Modi government for being branded as 'anti-farmer' by opposition parties, the Gujarat government has proposed joint ventures (JV) with farmers under the new industrial policy.

The new Gujarat model encourages farmer groups to give their land to Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) to develop industrial parks under a JV with GIDC.

While the scheme was introduced in a different avatar a few years ago, officials say it would work well at a time when acquiring land for industry has become a sensitive issue.

The move promises to be a solution to contain growing discontent over agriculture land acquisition for industrial purpose.

The 'Financial Assistance to Industrial Park' (FAIP) scheme declared recently under the new industrial policy promotes
JVs with farmers to develop industrial parks ranging from 20 to 100 hectares.

"Farmers will be made equity and profit partners in proportion of their land holding. Under the JV, farmers may continue to be owners of the land but may sacrifice their right in lieu of equity and profit rights in the park," said an official.


Saurabh Patel, state government spokesperson and in-charge minister for industry and mines, said, "It is a win-win model for all.

GIDC faces a lot of issues in acquiring private land.

 The new model will motivate farmers."

 Modalities of the JV will be approved by the State Level Expert Committee.


Industrial parks under FAIP will be provided financial assistance of 25% of eligible fixed capital investment in building and infrastructure facilities up to Rs 30 crore excluding the land cost.

Additional Rs 20 crore assistance will be provided if the park developer (JV also) develop hostel and dormitory facility for workers.
The private developer or JV of farmers and GIDC will get 100% reimbursement of stamp duty paid. Individual units will also get 50% stamp duty waiver.
