Better Late than Never

Some 2 months back, I sent following blog / email to our Cabinet Ministers :

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

where I suggested :

Confused about CENSUS - NPR - NRC ?

I am 

Notwithstanding the following tabulation that I tried to construct , using various sources,

I could not find the " Data Fields " that are required for NRC 

I urge our Home Minister, Shri Amitbhai Shah , to get this tabulation completed and then publish it in all the News Papers / Social Media web sites / all Central Govt web sites

Such a COMPARATIVE TABULATION will remove all doubts / anxiety from the minds of the citizens re ACTUAL PURPOSE of each of these exercises 

It will also lay down the LOGIC behind collecting / compiling some fields of COMMON DATA , again and again

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

Thank You, Amitbhai ,

-      for asking the RGI ( Registrar General of India ) to come forward with examples of the ACTUAL PURPOSE of these surveys, as reported in :

   NPR drive: 21 departments, 50 celebrities to reach out to masses  /  Eco Times – 03 Mar 

Extract :

Ø  NPR data is used for Schemes targeted at Individuals or Households :

#   Public Distribution System ( PDS )

#   Jan Dhan Yojana (  for financial inclusion of so far un-banked )

#   Ayushman Bharat Yojana ( for comprehensive Health Benefits for 50 cr )

#   PM Awas Yojana ( for Housing for All )

#   Ujjwala Yojana   ( for LPG gas cylinders )

#   Saubhgya Yojana  (  for electric supply to

 remote villagers )

#   Rescue of flood affected people ( NDRF )

#   Electrification Schemes ( Region wise )

#   Insurance Schemes

#   Gas Subsidy …………etc

Ø  Census data is used for :

#   Irrigation Schemes

#   Health Schemes

          Census Data has a confidentiality clause that prevents the Government from using an

          individual’s data and hence census data is largely used to design broad-based area-

          specific schemes, mostly related to irrigation and health interventions

Ø  At the request of RGI ( Registrar General of India ) , following persons / departments will interact with the citizen to explain the ACTUAL PURPOSE of Census / NPR :

#   21 Government Departments, including ,

          *  Health Ministry

          *  Indian Railways / All India Radio / National Highway Authority of India

          *  Publicity wings in States

      #   50 Celebrities ( Army – Sports – Actors – Singers – Spiritual Leaders )

      #   Acredited Social Health Activists

      #   Anganwadi workers

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

Dear Shri Vivek Joshiji 

( Registrar General of India /  rgi.rgi@nic.in  ) :

Congratulations on this initiative

But, a word of caution

2 months have passed since sending my above-mentioned E Mail

During this period, many persons have spared no pains to poison the minds of gullible citizen

In order to undo this damage , persons designated to undertake this IDEA SELLING campaign, would need to answer each and every question raised by the citizen , which may include :

How will following DATA FIELDS in NPR form help you design a benefit for me ?

#   Highest  Education attained

#    Occupation

#   Birth Place

#   Duration of Stay ( at present address )

If these SALES-PERSONS fumble giving a uniform / consistent / convincing answer, then, I am afraid this exercise will do more harm than good , to this noble cause !

You will need to hold full-day TRAINING SESSIONS for these persons , over the next 2 months !

Anyway – better late than never !
