Vahan,
Sarathi Data Sharing Yields Rs 111
Cr / ET –
12 Feb 2021
Extract :
Ø The government has
earned over Rs 111.38 Crores
by providing access to Vahan and Sarathi databases to private entities, Union
transport minister Nitin Gadkari informed the Parliament on Thursday.
Ø The data has been
shared with law enforcement agencies, the home ministry, auto, freight and
insurance companies. A list of around 170 parties with which the two databases have been
shared include BMW, Axis Bank, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, L&T Financial
Services, Mercedes Benz, among others.
Ø The
Transport Ministry has however discarded the bulk data sharing policy issued in 2019, which
allowed the Ministry to share the Vahan and Sarathi databases
===================================================
Hey ! That
averaged to Rs 65.52 Lakh per each “ share “
What is more, data is not like a piece of furniture, which
you can “ Sell “ only ONCE, to one party – and then, it is no more “ Owned “ by
the seller . It is gone for ever
Beauty of DATA is that you can “ SELL “ the same data
AGAIN & AGAIN , simply by keep making Digital Copies
Dear Shri
Gadkariji
,
News report reads :
Ministry has discarded bulk data SHARING policy
I suppose that means : Ministry will replace this
SHARING policy with a DATA SELLING POLICY !
Please consider this alternative
For justification , I urge you to refer to my following earlier e-mails :
Ø Bulk
Data Sharing / Selling Policy ? …………………………………[ 12 Mar 2019 ]
Ø Released
: Govt Policy for Selling Personal Data…………… [ 05 Sept 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø
The DEPA
infrastructure provides a simple and transparent mechanism for making data
exchange visible and explicit in ways that benefit all parties – either through
enhanced services or direct monetary profits from sharing data.
Ø
However,
since most individuals are accustomed to free services, Consent Managers could
subsidize or relinquish the service fee charged to the data principals by charging the data users (much like a subscription model).
