Thank You , Shri
Hardeep Singh Puriji
[ Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs ]
Eco Times ( 26 Dec 2018 ) carries following report :
Extract :
·
The
Ministry of housing and urban affairs, which is spearheading the highest number
flagship programs , is developing the app and is likely to open its data platform to public in Jan 2019
·
The
app will involve geotagging of all infrastructure created
and then uploading the unique address with
videos and photographs……..
·
The
biggest challenge is being posed by Swachh Bharat Abhiyan , under which 6.2
million individual household toilets and about 500,000 community and public
toilets have been constructed. Geotagging all of
them with photographs is a tedious task but
ultimately it is creation of asset from government funds so it will happen
gradually
=========================================================
In my blog / email ( 04 Dec 2015 ) to
the Cabinet Ministers , I had urged :
[ Nothing
prettier than PERT ! ]
·
When any Ministry submits any Project Proposal for Cabinet
approval , it must be accompanied by a PERT ( Program Evaluation and Review Technique ) chart
, clearly showing all the " Activities " lying along
the CRITICAL PATH
( earlier known as the CRITICAL PATH METHOD
)
·
Insist that all the government departments / contractors,
responsible for execution of any of these "activities", update the PERT chart
status online on the web site of the
Project Monitoring Group
·
PERT charts for all the projects should be made visible to the general public
·
If there is any " slippage " in any activity lying on
the CRITICAL PATH , the name of the department or contractor responsible ,
must appear in bold RED letters , against that activity
·
This is the only INNOVATION that we need , to ensure that the projects get completed
in time and within budget

.
PERT network chart for a seven-month project with
five milestones (10
through 50) and six activities (A through F).
The program (or project) evaluation
and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management,
which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved
in completing a given project.
=========================================================
And 5 months after my first email to the Policy Makers , following is what I wrote to NITI
Aayog, on , 07 May 2016 :
Dear Sir :
Economic Times (
05 May ) talks about a PMO letter to NITI
Aayog , as follows :
" NITI Aayog is requested to
undertake monthly monitoring of the
implementation of decisions taken, create a
dashboard for constant Monitoring, Evaluation and Review, and fix up
outcome targets for all major schemes of infrastructure and social sectors for
FY2016-17 and submit them to PMO by May 21, 2016 "
As you would have noticed in my earlier
suggestion , the best results would be achieved , when department / ministry
proposing the project is , itself made
responsible for :
# Preparing a
comprehensive list of Project Activities and their " sequences " (
parallel or
consequential )
# Estimating " Time
" , each activity will take to complete
# Defining ( by name /
designation / mobile number / email ID ) , those responsible for
each activity
# Uploading all of these DATA , in the PERT INPUT page on web site of NITI
Aayog
# Updating the
PERT CHART on daily basis
Entire idea is to put the ball in the
court of these departments / ministries !
If created / maintained by NITI Aayog , the chart ( Dashboard ) would become an instrument of
endless arguments !
=========================================================
Dear Shri Puriji,
As far as geotagging of those millions of toilets is concerned, I
suggest adopting the technology platform of www.What3Words.com , who are in the
process of adapting their unique / simple tech for HINDI language
All we need to do is to feed this “ location database “ of 6.2 million toilets in 3 HINDI Words, to an army
of DRONES , which
will precisely locate each of those toilets , take a photo and create a geotagged
database – all within weeks !
Following correspondence with the support team of What3Words
shows how this can be done , with
least human intervention :

How do I find address for a small hut in the middle
of DHARAVI SLUM in Mumbai ?
Support team replied :
“ Using our map site, which you can find here :
you can locate the location you wish to find.
I have set the 3 word address to Dharavi, Mumbai so finding the
location you wish will be easier.
Drag the map around to find the location you wish, and there you
may see the 3 word address for that location “
