Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji ,
Congratulations for your bold vision and your meticulous
, time-bound implementation , to turn India into a DIGITIZED INDIA
I believe The Telecom Commission will be meeting on 29 June to approve the
draft of this policy
While approving the policy , I urge you to keep in mind
the suggestions that I made in my email dated 04 Oct 2016
Extract
from my E Mail :
In my yesterday's blog
* “ Slow
and Steady wins the Race / 03 Oct 2016 “ ,
and in earlier blog,
* “ If
Mohamed cannot Go to Mountain / 26 July 2015 “ ,
I had suggested allowing 1.3 million schools of India to lease out
their premises at night ( 6 pm to 6 am ) , for private parties to set up Call
Centers ( BPOs )
Also enabling them with 100 mbps Internet
broadband connections ( of course , FREE )
Idea was to reduce investment in
setting up of BPOs by " round-the-clock " utilization of , otherwise
idle assets
That logic could be extended to many
similar under-utilized public assets such as :
# 2,25,000 Gram
Panchayat offices ( all getting internet
connection )
# 1,45,000 Post
Offices ( also getting internet connection
under Payment Bank
scheme )
# Lakhs of Government offices ( Central / State / Municipal / PSUs
etc )
# Lakhs of branches of Public Sector Banks
