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 “

Data Sharing / Selling Policy ?

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 :
