That is what the National Institute for Smart
Governance [ NISG / contact@nisg.org ] recommends
Here is that report :
And just so that you do not reject this recommendation
by confusing that the strategy is only about introduction of a National
Cryptocurrency ( like Bitcoins ) , following are the highlights :
Ø Blockchain
technologies are a set of technologies that enable ,
# to keep a tamper-proof record of
transactions defining asset or
value ownership efficiently through appropriate data structures,
# allow peer-to-peer
participants to update the records when asset or
value transfer takes place using foolproof mechanism through
distributed consensus
protocols,
# create business value through smart contracts which
are coded in
software and are executed when
objective conditions set in the
code are met.”
Ø Draft paper said
that it should welcome all such applications that fall in the permissioned blockchain space.
Ø Besides other uses
cases of blockchain, the draft strategy also recommends for official cryptocurrency. It suggests that
the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should release a Central
Bank Digital INR (CBDR) administered over a public permissioned blockchain and
supporting decentralised applications.
Ø Draft paper
emphasises that laws and regulations should be based on the functions performed by
blockchain and not on the technology itself.
=========================================================
Following are my suggestions for some of the “ Issues “
that need application of Blockchain to usher India in a regime of “ Smart
Governance “ :
-------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
[ 1 ]
Function > Eliminate Black Money / Corruption
Blockchain Application >
Introduction of
Central Bank Digital INR ( CBDR )

# Will
China Reign Supreme ? [ 15 Oct

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 2 ]
Function > Eliminate Polling Booths / Conduct online
voting using a Mobile App
Blockchain Application > Tamper-proof
record of transactions
# While anyone can validate transactions
on a public block-chain, only authorized persons
can
validate transactions on a permissioned block-chain
# However, like a public block-chain, anyone can
view transactions recorded on a
permissioned block-chain. That means that once
the groups managing the block-chain
verified the Sierra Leone votes, anyone —
voters, candidates, or just interested third
parties — could see the election results.

Chain for Voting ? [ 11 Mar 2018 ]

Function > Banking
for everybody – without banks
Blockchain Application > Peer-to-peer participants
to update the records
# Anyone
with an internet connection and a mobile phone can send, save and borrow
money peer-to-peer . Low income people could open small businesses and
send money
easily and cheaply
# Blockchain backers advocate its use
for secure, tamperproof digital records

Function >
Centralized Database of Health Records
Blockchain Application >
Distributed consensus
protocols
As described in :

[ 5 ]
Function >
Centralized Database of Financial Fraud Records
Blockchain Application > Distributed consensus
protocols
As described in :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 6 ]
Function >
Public Scrutiny of Infrastructure Projects
Blockchain Application
> Peer-to-peer participants
to update the records
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 . Once “ Event Date “ is entered by an authorized officer,
it can be viewed by all but cannot be EDITED !
As described in :

[ 7 ]
Function > Creation/
Editing of database of Construction Projects by Builders/Ministries
Blockchain Application > Peer-to-peer participants
to update the records
As soon as the builder submits the online BUILDING PERMIT
APPLICATION , it automatically and instantly , appears on the web
sites of ALL the concerned Ministries
The
concerned officer of each Ministry , makes APPROVED / REJECTED entries in the application form , from the
backend
Ministry officers are required to carry out this entry , within
24 hours
As soon as an officer of any Ministry makes entry and SUBMITS , the application forms
on web sites of ALL
Ministries and web site of the concerned Municipality , get updated
simultaneously and instantly , making for MIRROR IMAGES at all times
The database so created
on web sites of ALL Ministries - and concerned Municipality - will be
searchable State-wise / City-wise

Function > A
citizen is issued different cards by different agencies . Most of these capture
SAME / SIMILAR data , which reside in the databases of Issuing Agencies
.
Examples : PAN – Voter ID – Passport – Credit/ Debit Cards – Ration Card
–
Senior Citizen Card – Ayushman Bharat Card – Aadhar card etc
Updating / editing any data-field of any one
card, does NOT simultaneously /
instantly and automatically, update that SAME
DATA VALUE in all the other
databases ( residing on servers of hundreds of
PUBLIC – PRIVATE agencies ) .
This
would also apply to data furnished by citizen ( - and non-citizen ) for
CENSUS – NPR – NRC etc .
There
is urgent need to ensure an up-to-date ,
UNIQUE PROFILE of each and every citizen, at all times

Function > It
is now widely accepted that,
# Personal Data is owned by a person
# He has the right to “ monetize “ such data
# Currently, Social Media are earning huge
money by selling user data
# Mechanism must be put in place through SMART CONTRACTS to
compel
Social Media to make payments to users for use
of such data
Blockchain Application >
Defining asset or value ownership efficiently through
appropriate data Structures
/ when asset or value
transfer
takes place using foolproof
mechanism through distributed
consensus protocols

drug name ) made by WHO (
name of drug manufacturer ) , to WHOM (patient
name ) , and WHY ( disease
diagnosis ) , and WHEN ( date ) and sold by WHICH

Except for Bicycles, all vehicles cause pollution harm – some more, some
less
Determine each vehicle’s “ HARM QUOTIENT “ every hour, using NaVIC GPS
Levy a TRANS-TAX ( Pigovian
Tax ) proportionate to HARM QUOTIENT
Mandatory FASTag –
type , prepaid sensor, to be installed in all vehicles
Automatic (no human intervention ) deduction of TRANS TAX ( like toll
plaza )
Blockchain Application >
Smart contracts which are
coded in software and are
executed when objective
conditions set in the code are met.”

Function > So
far, Annual Employment Surveys have failed
miserably to provide any real /
useful data on type of jobs / number employed
/ wages-salaries earned /
working hours / regional employment density / education
levels of employed /
retirement benefits / age profiles etc
Absence of such accurate / dynamic / real-time data , across entire country ,
covering , not only 5 lakh companies in
organized sector but also re 65 million
MSME , is proving the biggest hurdle in
framing viable employment generation
policies
Blockchain Application > Smart contracts which are coded
