Lo and behold !


Tamil Nadu / Ease of Living



Extract :

Ø  A unique idea of the Tamil Nadu government, which is all set to come out as a formal order, is meant to make life easier for people with their own data — from birth to death certificates and from licenses to insurances — at a single click.

Ø  It is a zero proof, identity-based predictive government service, backed by a bulletproof Blockchain system

Ø  The plan that comes under e-Governance makes people free from the usual processes of applying for various government services like certificates, documents, licenses to various different government departments

Ø  A new system being implemented by Tamil Nadu will provide all such services “as a predictive service” to ensure that citizens need not apply for any statutory service. Instead, all these documents will be made available in a secret vault accessible through a One-Time Password (OTP)

Ø  Going a step ahead, a Citizen’s Vault is being created for each citizen in this new system which helps them view their certificates and documents using their mobile number as the user ID and an OTP ( one-time-password ) that they instantly receive on their phones as the password.

How about a card to replace all the above-mentioned cards ?

5 years ago , on 25 May 2015 , I sent following email to Shri RaviShankar Prasadji , listing reasons why the Central-Government proposed DIGITAL LOCKER project , as envisaged then , was simply UNWORKABLE ,

 

Then , in my blog of 06 Jan 2020 , I envisaged the following process :

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

Ø  Central Govt to launch an online portal called,
www.SUIIC.gov.in  (  Single Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )

Ø  By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD ISSUING AGENCIES to upload their “ Card Related Databases “ onto SUIIC web server and continue to do so DAILY for new additions to their databases

Ø   SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning - Big Data Analytics etc.,  to merge / collate all kinds of structured / unstructured databases pertaining to all kinds of Cards / unique IDENTIFIERS, issued by any entity, to any citizen

These will include Mobile Service Providers and E Mail ID providers


Ø  This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each citizen, and named :

YUP  ( Your Unique Profile )

YUP ( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE CARD which replaces all CARDS


Ø  YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC web server

Ø  Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ) , open it on his smart phone , enter his mobile number / E Mail ID and take a SELFIE of his own FACE


Ø  The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE IMAGE onto SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that person

Ø  SUIIC will embed into the FACE PHOTO , all data of all the CARDS ever issued to that person ( using STEGANOGRAPHY ), and send it back to the owner’s mobile phone

Ø  Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the Cards / Identifiers which have been embedded . Touching any item, will reveal the actual Physical Card

Ø  This will enable that citizen to EDIT his personal data online and click SUBMIT

Ø  Anytime required in future, that citizen can show that YUP photo to any party

Ø  There will be no compulsion for any citizen to use YUP . He may continue using his Physical Cards, if he so desires

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


Congratulations , Dr Santosh Babu 



Your innovation of a DIGITAL VAULT , will certainly make living easy for citizen of Tamil Nadu – and undoubtedly many more States would want to follow suit , with some changes here and there


But , why should each State design / develop / launch , its own unique DIGITAL VAULT ?


Why can there be not, a SINGLE vault for entire India , for all of its citizen ?


In which case , the process described by me above, might act as a guide


With regards,
