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?"

With regards,

Thank You , Policy Makers !




Dear  Policy  Makers :


I just came across following news report:

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


Financial Intelligence Unit to generate reports on black money suspects in 72 hours 

( Source : Economic Times / 22 Nov 2015 )




NEW DELHI:

Government has bolstered the capabilities of the elite Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), which can now dish out volumes of data on suspicious transactions in 72-hours flat and gain access to

   " secret database of offenders maintained by various law
    enforcement agencies in the country. "

Earlier, when an agency wanted to get any information on financial transactions and other similar details on entities on its scanner the time taken used to be between a fortnight to 20 days.

The elite financial snoop wing under the Union Finance Ministry has switched to

 full electronic mode for exchange of data,

 from the earlier existing paper-based pattern, with all probe and enforcement agencies of the country like the Income Tax department, CBI, ED, DRI and Intelligence Bureau among others, beginning November 1.

Thank you for listening - and acting on my following suggestion , sent to you sometime back

E - Governance ?



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,

- 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




Will BJP want to make this , a prominent promise in their Poll-Manifesto , likely to be released on 7th April  ?  ( Congress /  AAP missed this boat  ! )


It is high time political parties stop talking of motherhood in vague terms and start telling the voters ,


" If you vote us to power , this is precisely what we will do , to bring about E-GOVERNANCE  -  and do it within 6 months of assuming power  "
