Crowd Control Rooms : Gaining Recognition after 7 years

Context :

Digital dashboard to mobilise, monitor crowds at Modi’s Vadodara meet-Business Journal / 18 June 2022

Extract :

As many as four lakh people are expected to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Gujarat Gaurav Abhiyan’ address in Vadodara on Saturday. What’s unique about the event is the way digital tools are being used to make mass mobilisation swift, effective and orderly.

State authorities are using an online dashboard for,

# registration,

# tracking,

# monitoring

# mobilising

of visitors to the venue

On the dashboard, officers will key-in data such as,

# event name,

# visitors’ list,

# taluka (tehsil) list,

# vehicle allotments (private and State transport buses),

# starting points, end points, etc.

The dashboard is monitored from a centrally-connected helpdesk control room set up at the Vadodara district collectorate, which flags any abnormal events to the concerned team of officers.

The dashboard, accessible through an authorised user ID and password, shows,

# status of each of the numbered vehicles,

# their location,

# contacts of their respective drivers/conductors and

# nodal officers.

A control room will monitor the route of the vehicles, alert on any deviation and also ensure timely departure and arrival to prevent congestion and traffic chaos at the venue.

MY TAKE :

Ø THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH …………………………….. [ 25 Aug 2018 ]

Extract :

At each “ Arrival Point “ ( Railway Station / Bus Stands / Airport / Parking Plots for private vehicles ) , each arriving visitor to be welcomed with a RFID sensor embedded wrist-band ( with a beautiful rendering of Ganga Mata and bearing a description which reads :

“ नमो गंगे – Kumbh 2019 “

Before issuing the wrist band, pilgrim’s AADHAR NO will be entered into the sensor

It will be mandatory for the visitors to wear this Wrist Band as long as they are inside the “ PILGRIMAGE PERIMETER “

This will help the central PILGRIM TRAFFIC CONTROL ROOM , to track :

# each and every visitor

# missing / lost persons

# mischief-mongers / miscreants

# accident victims / sick persons

For a fool proof solution for CROWD CONTROL, I urge Kumbh Mela Administation to consider :

# Increasing the no of CCTV cameras from 1,000 to 10,000

# Couple these with a FACE RECOGNITION software , such that those who

attempt to “ WALK “ ( instead of riding ), inside the Pilgrimage Perimeter ( area

covered by Methods A / B / C ,described earlier ) will find their face, name, and

their Aadhar ID number displayed on a large LED screen

Aadhar : Make it your Birth-Right

Context :

Newborns to get temporary Aadhar as UIDAI plans to link birth, death data / IndiaTVnews / 15 June 2022

Extract :

From birth to death, Aadhaar will soon cover entire lifecycle data.

According to a report, the Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ), is preparing to launch two pilot programmes that will link data from birth to death of citizens to 12-digit Aadhaar number.

The report said that UIDAI has plans to issue temporary Aadhar numbers to new borns.

The Aadhaar number will be renewed with biometric data on attainment of the majority

The government believes that integrating birth-to-death data will prevent the misappropriation of welfare schemes and also no one will be left out of the social security net.

The Aadhar linking of birth and death data as well as linking the data with public and private hospitals is aimed at stemming the leak of direct benefit transfers.

Further, once a child turns 18, biometrics are re-registered as the parameters stabilise by then and remain the same for an (individual’s) remaining natural life, the official added while noting it will also ensure that multiple IDs are not generated for the same child.

Since launch, Aadhaar numbers have been provided to most Indian adults with coverage in the 5-18 year age group estimated at 93%, but only a quarter of the country’s infants below five years are registered with the identity database.

UIDAI also plans to approach public and private hospitals for data on the deceased to ensure there is no duplication.

===================================================

MY TAKE :

[ A ]

According to you, what will be the next evolution of “ Aadhar at Birth “ ?

Following is only a matter of time ( not a question of “ if “ / only a question of “ when “ ) :

Aadhar : The Omnipresent ? …………………………………..[ 22 Mar 2017 ]

Extract :

I hope , someday soon , an India Start-Up comes up with a digital solution (

pasting, a unique RFID sensor on the forehead of each child , at birth ? ) to get rid

of all the CARDS , a person needs to acquire in a life-time

[ B ]

Is there similar process in any other country ?

Yes. Here is how a new-born gets his ID in Estonia :

Lessons from Estonia :

“ Now we will register our child,” Andrejs Lunde says with gravity as he inserts his

ID card into the card reader. And just like that, Oskar is Estonia’s newest citizen.

No paper. No fuss

[ C ]

When did you suggest Aadhar for new-born ?

In my following e-mail :

SARAL (Single Authentic Registration for Anywhere Login )…… [ 10 Feb 2019 ]

Extract :

Ø At birth of a child , parents will submit child’s data ( Name / Birthdate / Address etc ) on,

www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in

Ø Up to the age of 12 , parents will submit / edit, all data about the child

From 12 to 18 , data submission / editing will be done jointly with the child

From 18 onwards, child ( who has turned adult ) will maintain data
