And really fast on the uptake , as well !
In my following blog yesterday, ( emailed to Arvind,
along with all other State Chief Ministers / Central Cabinet Minister ),
- where I suggested :
“ Could we modify Aarogya Setu to become a
“ Appointment-Giving
Secretary “,
for that doctor / kirana store / vegetable shop ?
And admit you/serve you, only at the APPOINTED TIME ? [ Social Distancing guaranteed ! ]
Although this ( modification of Aarogya Setu ) might seem
impossible to you and me , why not leave it to the Aarogya Setu Team to decide
after reading the following news ?
=========================================================
Now Arvind reads fast – and acts even faster !
And he has no patience to wait for the Aarogya Setu Team to modify
it as suggested above
So , he went ahead and launched :
www.qtoken.in ( - though not
opening at the time of writing ! )
Although not a mobile app, here is how it will work :
To
avoid overcrowding, Delhi govt launches e-token system for liquor purchase
Extract :
Ø The Delhi government on Thursday started an e-token system under which customers would be given specific time for purchasing
liquor in the wake of violations of social distancing norms by people crowding such outlets.
Ø According to an
official statement, the government released a web link - www.qtoken.in - where people will
be designated specific time for purchasing liquor after they fill personal details.
Ø The e-tokens will be sent on
the mobile phones of the registered persons, it said
Ø The e-token will
help maintaining social
distancing and cut
down on waiting time in long queues by specifying time for each e-coupon holder to buy liquor at a
shop.
Ø The people will be required
to furnish address of liquor shop in their area along with their mobile number
and other details, while applying for e-token on the web link.
=========================================================
Congratulations
, Arvind
,
For implementing what Bill Gates wrote 21 years ago ,
viz :
No doubt, while implementing qtoken, you ( a bania ? ),
also considered the following bye-products of “ qtoken “ :
Ø Number
of “ drinkers “ in Delhi with their full contact data (do add, Aadhar No. )
Ø Daily
/ Monthly consumption of each “ drinker “ and money spent ( drink-wise )
Ø Monthly
sale ( item / quantity / value ) of each of those 200 shops
Ø Item-wise
consumption for entire Delhi
Ø Manufacturer-wise
sale ( item wise broken up )
Ø Tallying
sale of each shop with taxes paid
Ø How
much govt is subsidizing each “ drinker “ with different Social Benefit Schemes
( DBT )
Ø Area-wise
concentration of “ drinkers “ ( Hot Spot – Red Zone – Containment Zone etc )
Ø Are
there some poor proxy persons buying for their rich masters ?
Ø Are
manufacturers taking advantage ( of panic buying ) to raise prices ? How much ?
I am sure your very able party-worker , Raghav Chaddha,
would come up with some more
He may even advise you to extend the “ qtoken “ system
to cover Kirana Stores
!
Dear State Chief Ministers,
Raising tax on liquor [ Corona Tax ], is a fine
But, if you are looking for “ monetizing “ consumption
data of millions of citizen ( - remember, DATA IS THE NEW OIL ), then you
should hurry up with your own “ qtoken “ portals – and do it fast !
It is very likely that, the Central Government may do
it even FASTER !
