Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dhakneji says : Pahile APP

 


 

Context :

APP KE LIYE     /   Mumbai Mirror  -  11 April


Extract :

Ø  The Regional Transport Office (RTO) is all set to introduce the application within a month’s time

Ø  The app will allow passengers to register their complaints or suggestions about services offered by rickshaws, taxis or mobile-app based taxis

Ø  The complaints related to overcharging, refusal to take passengers, misbehavior by auto or taxi operators and other wrong practices, which often lead to arguments between passengers and drivers, can now be tackled properly

Ø  Since the data related to complaints or grievances will be recorded in the app, the transport department can assess it and take appropriate action against errant auto or taxi operators

Ø  The State Transport Commissioner, Avinash Dhakne, avinashdhakne@gmail.com / smccommissioner@yahoo.com

said the decision has been taken to improve public services

Ø  The mobile application will serve dual purpose : resolve complaints and problems of passengers and create awareness about road safety

Ø  The transport grievance mobile application will be a web-based application and anyone can download it

Ø  Anyone can lodge the complaint according to the location and after lodging the complaint, they can even check the status of their complaint at any time in the future

Ø  They will be able to see what action has been taken against the violator, and will also have the data of the complainant and that can also be tracked

Ø  The mobile application was planned in 2017, but the project could not take off. But now the work has already been done and it should get functional in one month’s time

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

MY TAKE :

Ø  Once again , Congratulations Shri Dhakneji, for implementing ( although, just that part which concerns your department ), what I have repeatedly requested in my following blog / email :

I SIN >  < U SIN  ( I Seek It Now > < U Solve It Now )  …………[ 12 Dec 2012 ]


Extract :


Ø  No need to login to the App , whose screen will read,


         I wish to send my complaint to the following department :


     #  National Commission for Women

     #  Garbage Clearance

    #  Water Supply

    #  Electricity Supply

    #  Roads Repair

    #  Rationing ( Food Distribution )

    #  Police

    #  Bus Transport

    #  Railways

    #  Post

    #  Employment

    #  Education

   #  Irrigation

   #  Building Permits

   #  Revenue / Land Records

   #  Anti Corruption

       #  Other …etc (List should not exceed 50)

 

Ø  Touching name of any department name will open a SMS message box where the user will type out his complaint (in language of his choice )

There will be option to speak-out and record voice message, for illiterate users

Touching SEND button will transmit the complaint and within minutes, user will receive SMS reply , giving,


#  Name of Officer responsible

    #   Office Landline No

    #   Mobile No

    #   Email Id

    #   Complaint No

    #   Expected date of solving


Bingo !

 

Ø  Then publish online, a tabulation of departments, arranged in the descending order of the no of complaints received / cleared / pending !

This frugal innovation will bring in Good Governance all over India

 

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

Dear Shri Dhakneji,

I urge you to ensure the following features in this App :

Ø  No typing / Just touching an icon and all entry by SPEAKING ( speech-to-text software integration )

Ø  Speaking in any of the major Indian languages

Ø  App to work even on a FEATURE phone ( millions of rural folks do not have Smart-phones )

Ø  No need to enter the exact LOCATION where the incidence took place ( could enable  What3Words integration in app or mandatory installation of SKYLO hub in rickshaws / taxis  )

Ø  Complainant’s details to get deciphered by just needing her to take a SELFIE ( Facial Recognition )
