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 :

MEA sets up emerging technologies division

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
