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,

Thank You , Dr S Jaishankarji,

( External Affairs Minister  /  eam@mea.gov.in  )




For accepting my following suggestion ( sent as e mail to Cabinet Ministers ) :

Need of the hour ? : TEAM  [  21  April  2017  ]


By TEAM , I mean :  Technology Evaluation and Acquisition Minister


Whose job description will be :


Remain constantly on look-out for developing / developed technologies from around the World , evaluate their relevance to India’s myriad problems and acquire the same from the developers ( including patent rights / IP rights , to exploit it / improve upon it )


Make available these acquired technologies to Indian Companies ( both , in private and in public sectors ) / NGOs / Start-Ups etc , FREE of cost ( conditions apply in respect of production targets / pricing / time to implement / after-sales service etc ! )

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


In today’s Economic Times, I came across following news :




Extract :

Ø  The external affairs ministry on Wednesday announced the setting up of new, emerging and strategic technologies  ( NEST ) division

Ø  NEST will act as the nodal division within the ministry for issues pertaining to new and emerging technologies

Ø  Its mandate shall include, but not be limited to, evolving India’s external technology policy in coordination with domestic stakeholders and in line with India’s developmental priorities and national security goals

Ø  It will also help assess foreign policy and international legal implications of new and emerging technologies and technology-based resources, and recommend appropriate foreign policy choice

Ø  NEST will negotiate technology governance rules, standards and architecture, suited to India’s conditions, in multilateral and pluri-lateral frameworks




In my e mail , I had not only listed following 10 urgent problems  facing India, but also listed the contact details of Scientists / Institutions which have developed technologies to address these problems of national importance :



>  Unavailability of clean drinking water in drought / famine affected areas    
 

>  Pollution thru plastic bottles / Mountains of Land Fills – Garbage Dumps

 

>   Loss of Forest cover / Rampant Desertification  



>  Millions sleeping in Streets / Slums, for want of affordable houses

  


>   Traffic Jams on City Roads / Hours to reach Office-Home

   

>   Charging of Batteries of Electric Vehicles takes hours !

     

>   No transmission lines for taking electricity to far-flung villages

     

>   No way to store ( for use at night ), billions of KWH of Solar Power

     

>   Fossil Fuel Power killing millions / Urgent need to generate Solar Power

    



>  Dependence on import for Li-ion batteries / Fast charging button batteries




>  High value currency notes facilitating generation of BLACK MONEY


   

>   Making available high speed Internet to entire India ( remotest corner )



     
>   Poor road construction methods resulting in perennial pot-holes





I hope, NEST will work in close co-ordination with :

Ø  Dr HarshVardhan  ( Minister for Science and Technology )
           drhrshvardhan@gmail.com   /   dr.harshvardhan@sansad.nic.in  



Ø  Professor K VijayRaghavan ( Principal Scientific Advisor )
