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,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Even Better Than Suggested ?

 

 

In some respects, YES . In some other respects, NOT YET

 

Context :

New E-enabled Parliament , assemblies to Work on Unified Digital Infra  /  ET  / 14 May 2022

  

Extract :

 

When lawmakers move into the brand new Parliament building in the national capital, they’re likely to be given touchscreen tablets that will

#  facilitate voting on matters of national importance,

#  help with speeches, notices, submissions and

#  laying of papers and reports

The move is a part of the government’s larger plan to bring the nation’s 37 state legislatures-31 Assemblies and 6 Councils-on to a single digital platform which will have enabling provisions for the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha.

 

A single, process-based, end-to-end digital platform called National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) has been developed for the parliamentary affairs ministry.

An official mentioned the software program will bring  “synergy in the working and dissemination of information by all legislatures…” on the only platform, breaking silos.

“All legislatures are proposed to be linked together so that on one platform, the public at large can see what is happening in all 39 legislative houses across the country,” he said

Once implemented , the new e-platform will enable members to ,

seek divisions whenever they want, and also

cast their votes digitally from anywhere within the Houses

While members will be able to make submissions digitally, notices can be sent anytime from anywhere, approved and processed on-line in the legislature secretariats.

A touchscreen device will be provided to every member inside the House that will contain,

#   list of businesses ,

#   papers to be laid,

#   bills consideration and passing,

#   committee reports,

#  questions and answers,

#  bulletins,

#  synopsis of proceedings,

#  digital library,


#  notices  

#  members directory,  

#  visual display of House proceedings.

The platform has been developed to ensure members can find everything they need in the House on one platform–their notices, replies, notifications, constitution of committee, agenda, minutes, room booking, to preparation of report, and also enable them to talk to their aides and secretaries,

 

 

MY  TAKE  :

 

Ø  Congratulations, Shri Rajeev Chandrasekharji …………. ( 23 Apr 2022 )

 

Extract :

Dear Shri Chandrasekharji,

 Congratulations on this great initiative to launch DIGITAL SANSAD , with the

explicit objective to BRING MPs and CITIZEN together by “ covering the entire

spectrum of functioning of the Indian Parliament “

 

In this context, I urge you to examine my following suggestions ( to view details, CLICK HERE ):

 

[ A ]…… Platform

[ B ]….. Citizen Feedback

             A citizen should be able to send ( email / sms / whatsapp ) any message

             to any MP 

         

            These messages can only be a question or a constructive comment ( AI

            software must weed-out any abusive messages )

            

            You may want to consider the following U / I  :  Influence Policy Makers


           Source-code for this, can be freely downloaded from

           :     B2BmessageBlaster.com

 

[ C ]     MP “ Janam Kundli “

[ D ]     Performance of MPs in Parliament

[ E ]    “ Work from Anywhere “  for MPs

 

With Virtual Parliament sessions, you can do following :

           Ø    Online broadcast of Virtual Session through a Mobile App ( LokRaj ?  )

           Ø    Receive Questions / Answers / Notices , online ( as being done already )

           Ø    Decide ( and control ),  WHO will speak , WHEN and for HOW LONG .

           Ø    Display these “ Speaking Schedules “ on the Mobile App with a provision

                 for the viewers to cast their  Ratings “ online / instantly,

                  as each speaker delivers his / her speech

                  Dynamically display “ No of Raters “ and “ Rating Score ( 1 to 5 ) “ .

                  Such an “ Instant Feedback “ will dramatically improve , not only the

                  behaviour of each Member of Parliament, but also improve the “

                  Relevance “of his talk

                  

            Ø   Turn-off the member’s mike if he refuses to stop or starts shouting /

                 abusing

            Ø   No question of anyone speaking “out of turn “ or rushing to the well of

                 the house !

           Ø    Bar unruly members from attending a VIRTUAL SESSION

           Ø    Display ( as in case of Augmented Reality – AR ), following record of an

                 MP as he is speaking :

                   #    Attendance percentage  /  Punctuality

              #    No of questions asked

             #    Number of minutes spoken during the session


          Ø    Just before the voting starts on any Bill , enable the Members of

                Parliament to receive “ Instructions ( really  , feedback from citizen who

                voted for him / her ) “, as to how voters want him to vote ( “for “

                or “against “ the bill ) , as outlined at :

                            

                VotersWill  ………………………………….[  03  Nov  2018  ]

 

    Ø    Enable every Member to receive Online Feedback whether his overall

          performance is so bad that the citizen who voted for him , now want

          him “ Re- called “ , as described at :

     

                   ROMP - A Panacea ?   ……………….[ 06 Aug 2015 ]
