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,

Thanks , Shri Piyush Goyalji ,


Thanks , Shri Piyush Goyalji ,


For bringing some clarity to a utterly confusing issue
Today’s Eco Times carries following news :




Extract :

The government is planning to set up a national data governance centre to hold all public data, and establish guidelines for the management, sharing and monetisation of information. State agencies and even startups could access the data through this facility.
 

Public data relates to freely available information that is collated by various agencies or companies in the course of their operations and which can be traded without restrictions or be used for public utility purposes. This includes traffic and illness patterns. 


“Data has an economic value, but who, when and where uses that, that would then lie under a national data-sharing policy to be developed under the data governance centre,
 

But recently, commerce minister Piyush Goyal directed his ministry to take out the data elements from the draft ecommerce policy, leaving the PDP Bill to handle those. 


“Shouldn’t all this community or public data be available at one centralised location with the government, so that it can be used by everyone, including government agencies to make relevant laws and even help startups 

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

I am glad that the Govt ( Ministers and officers ), have finally appreciated that :


Personal data ( of course , aggregated and anonymized ), have ECONOMIC VALUE , which must be unleashed



I hope, they will not hesitate to take the next logical step, viz :


  Data Owners MUST be compensated , each and every time , some private party / agency is enabled to make money from use of this data for commercial purpose . Govt must keep away from the temptation of making money from selling the user data “

Dear Shri Goyalji,



Here is your unprecedented opportunity to bring about a totally new DATA COMPILATION / SHARING / MONETIZING REGIME , not only in India but as a BENCH MARK for the rest of the world !




A DATA REGIME which ensures for the DATA OWNERS , a just “ Compensation “ for one of their most precious “ Asset



I urge you to implement :
