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,

#BlackMoney #Corruption #Narendramodi

Prime  Minister’s  Challenge


Addressing a group of Company Secretaries last evening , PM Shri Modi challenged them to help make Corporate India , free of Corruption / Black Money / Tax Evasion ( - not a single “ Shell Company “ ) , by 2022



In his speech , Shri Modi listed a series of steps taken by his government during the past 3 years , to achieve this goal



He left out any mention of the following step , which somehow also got scant coverage in the media


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


Economic Times [ Oct 01 2017  ]  carried following news :



“  L&T Infotech bags $100 mn contract to help pin down tax evaders  “


The ambitious initiative to use social media analytics to identify tax non-compliance is a $100-million project for the Infotech arm of engineering giant Larsen & Toubro, according to a company official. 



That is really advanced analytics. Now, that is like a $100-million deal for us. It's not a small deal," L&T Infotech chief executive and managing director Sanjay Jalona told


Terming the work awarded by the Central Board of Direct Taxes as a "high volume digital deal", he elaborated that the project involves creating a 'semantic web' where web pages are structured and tagged in such a way that can be directly read by the computers. 



"We are creating a systematic web on a person. If his wife is going to the Seychelles and putting photos on Instagram, we will capture it ... that is really advanced analytics," Jalona said. 


It can be noted that in its efforts to shore up tax collections in a country with among the lowest tax to GDP ratios among its peers, the government has decided to use the best that data analytics offer 


Who would think that  ICSI  would find an Engineering Giant as an ally in taking up the Challenge thrown by Shri Modi  ?

 


I have only a vague idea of the contour of the “ Semantic Web “ that Shri Jalona has in mind



To me , such a “ Semantic Web “ ( of a person ) would consist of :


#    KARMA………. (  Action  )

   All over the World , CCTV cameras are catching the ( evil – dishonest – law breaking ) ACTS of the
   people through pictures /   videos



  
#    VACHANA …. (  Spoken /  Written Words  )

   L&T Infotech is apparently planning to “ capture and analyse “ , every Indian’s “ Social Media
   Existence “ , to decipher the “ Database of Evil Intentions



#    MANA………  (  Unexpressed  Thoughts  )

     If Shri Sanjay  Jalona wants to “ Exceed the Expectations “ of the customer – CBDT – then he may
     want to go ahead and develop “ Semantic Web – V 2.0 “ , by implementing :



     Fast  Forward to  Future – 3F  [  20  Oct  2016  ]






But Shri Modi’s journey ( - to eliminate Black Money / Corruption ) does not end with this “ Semantic Web “ project



It is only a matter of time , before you hear of the following   MILE STONES  of that journey :

The  March of  Algorithms  [  05  July  2016  ]










India has been proud of L&T’s capabilities in developing  its PHYSICAL  INFRASTRUCTURE


Soon , we will all be proud of L&T’s miracle in constructing  our DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE   !
