Today’s Business Today carries following news report :
Highlights :
·
There are
about 80 lakh blind or visually impaired people in the country, who are likely to benefit
from the initiative of the central bank.
·
The
device/mechanism should be able to identify
the denomination of a banknote with
handheld operation, when the banknote is held in front of it / near it / inserted in it / scrolled across it, within a few seconds (preferably
2 seconds or less) and read out in English/Hindi the denomination, said the tender document.
·
In case of a
software-based solution, the document said: "The solution can be either
total software based capable to run
on mobile phones or hardware driven or a combination of both...
."
·
Also, it
should not require a data connection and should function in offline mode, as
per the document.
·
In the case
of a hardware-based solution, the device "should be battery operated,
rechargeable, small and handy" for ease of operation and should not
require additional light source including daylight
·
The tender
document also said it should be amply made clear to the user that the
device/mechanism does not authenticate the genuineness or otherwise of the
banknote and the user may ascertain the same separately.

Dear Start Up :
Here is your opportunity of a lifetime . Carpe Diem !
On 17
July 2016 , I had sent following email to Cabinet Ministers / NITI Aayog
etc – although it was in the context of the menace of fake
notes :
Fak - e - Mon
Highlights :
·
Govt to
develop a mobile app , to be aptly called , " Fak-e-Mon " and insist its pre-install on all smart phones
·
Whenever presented with a Rs 500 / 1000 note for payment , a
citizen simply takes a photo of that note with his mobile . He has to do
nothing more !
·
Fak-e-Mon transmits that photo to the Central Server of the Treasury which
has the MASTER DATABASE of those unique
Serial Numbers of Rs 500 / 1000 currency notes
·
Software compares the Serial Number sent ( as photo ) with
the Database and determines whether that note is Genuine or Fake
·
This information is instantaneously relayed back to the sender
and appears as a GREEN dot ( for genuine note ) or RED dot ( for fake note ) , on his
mobile , so that he can refuse to honour it !
·
Fak-e-Mon also transmits the GPS location of the place of transaction , to
figure out " where " are these fake notes entering the circulation
·
Central Server records / logs , full details of ALL the
good and ALL the fake notes processed through each Fak-e- Mon / mobile phone , to
develop CURRENCY VELOCITY and CURRENCY
MAP of India
·
Just print those unique / hidden Serial Numbers on currency
notes with INK containing RFID
micro-sensors
( Yes , these are nano-scale , so no
problem to flow with ink ! )
·
Then tell millions of unemployed young Indians :
"Go out on the streets of your city
with your GPS / NFC enabled and Fak-e-Mon
installed smart phones
As you keep walking , now and
then , on your mobile's screen , you will see images
of FAKE currency notes popping up , out of the pockets of total strangers ! Just
touch
those images and earn Rs 10 !
(of
course, instantly deposited in your Jan Dhan Bank Account ! Only DBT - no cash )
·
Pokemon is so passe ! Fak-e-mon is THE FUTURE !
Is
anyone listening ?
=================================================================================
Dear Start Up,
In the 30 months since I
sent this email , technology has made huge strides ( AI – ML – Big Data etc )
It should not be too
difficult for you to modify my suggestion so that :
# It is useful , not only for blind persons
but also for seeing persons
# It recognizes the “ Denomination “ ( from Serial Number ) and loudly announces it
# It need not be used / activated “ consciously
/ deliberately “ by any one. Using
BlueTooth / NFC , it will “ figure out “ the total number of high denomination notes
on the person of the user
and relay that data to the central server of IT Dept / ED
etc [ End
of BLACK MONEY
/ CORRUPTION ]

Catch Black Money , Ask Google ?
