Unprecedented Opportunity Seized !

On 11 April 2019 , I sent following blog / email to our Policy Makers ( - including Registrar General of Census ) ,

Census 2021 : an Unprecedented Opportunity ,

-          Where I suggested ,

“    In Census Form , add following optional fields :

·          Aadhar ID

·          PAN

·          Mobile Phone Number

·          E Mail ID– to be treated as “ User ID “ for accessing own data for EDIT purpose

·          Password – for EDITING own data, online , at any time

·          Voter ID

#     Once the enumerators have uploaded all 2021 Census data in Online Database,

       enable each Registered person to Update / Edit , his / her data , by logging in

       

#     Personal Data may be updated as follows :

·          Once a year ( Mandatory ) – some service deprived if he / she does not update

·          As often as personal data changes

-----------------------------------------------

Then on 28 Dec 2019 , I sent following mail  :

“ Census / NPR , would cost the country, Rs 12,000 crore ( once every 10 years ? )

  That is Rs 1,200 crore PER YEAR

  If my following suggestion gets implemented , we could save that recurring cost of Rs

  1200 crore

  But, that saving is PEANUTS compared to the potential benefits of a DYNAMIC /

   PERPETUALLY ONGOING / AUTOMATIC , updating of population data ( 24x7 ) , by

   implementing my suggestion !

   I urge Shri Amit Shah [ Home Minister ] to ask his officers to examine my suggestion:

   A Case of Mistaken Identity ?   “


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

I am glad that the Registrar General of Census has seized this opportunity to implement my suggestion

Context :

Non-BJP states object to methodology of NPR 

Hindustan Times, New Delhi

Extract :

Ø  Home secretary Ajay Bhalla [ hshso@nic.in ] ,

     told the state representatives that individuals need not declare their Aadhaar, passport

    or driving license when NPR is updated,

Ø  A second senior officer said for the first time ever, India is planning to introduce “self-enumeration” that will allow individuals to register their personal details online  for Census 2021

Ø  The Registrar General of India ( RGI / Rgi.rgi@nic.in ) has told states that the Centre is planning to allow “self-enumeration” through an online procedure for the population enumeration phase – the second phase of the census, the official said on condition of anonymity.

Ø  “Self-enumeration has been cleared by the Centre and initial meetings have been held at the State-Level Census Coordination Committees,” the official said.

Ø  The RGI is developing an online application protected through a one-time password that allows individuals to log on the Census website and fill in their details, a third official said. Self-enumeration will not, however, do away with the enumerator.

Dear Shri Amitbhai Shah,

In spite of the fact that the CAA – NPR – NRC , are not intended for taking away anyone’s citizenship, opposition parties seem to have succeeded in confusing the citizen

To remove this misunderstanding from the minds of people, I urge you once again to complete and publish the COMPARATIVE TABULATION of these 3 processes, as per my following earlier email :

Confused about CENSUS - NPR - NRC ?  [  24  Dec  2019  ]

With regards,

Hemen Parekh
