SUIIC : the Ultimate Ease of Interacting with World

 

 

Dear Shri Ashwini Vaishnawji,

[  av.odisha@sansad.nic.in  ]

 

 

Greetings

I am a long-time advocate for digital innovation in India.

I write to express my heartfelt gratitude for the new Aadhaar app, currently in

testing, as reported today

(https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/new-aadhaar-app-in-testing-set-to-ease-authentication-101744138911444.html).

The app’s features :

Ø  Unified digital identity,

Ø  Facial recognition,

Ø  QR code verification,

Ø  UPI-like ease,

—     closely align with my 5-year-old suggestion, SUIIC (Single Unique Identity for

       Indian Citizen), first outlined in my following E Mail to our Cabinet Ministers :

“ I am One, I will become Many ” ……….    January 9, 2020,

[https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2020/01/i-am-one-i-will-become-many.html ]

Over the years, I’ve elaborated on this vision through emails and blogs (listed

below), and it is humbling to see potential implementation under your leadership.

To illustrate the resemblance, I’ve prepared a comparative tabulation of my

original suggestions and the proposed app’s features:

Feature	My Original Suggestion (SUIIC)	Proposed Aadhaar App (News Report)	Extent of Resemblance	Additional Suggestions (if applicable)
Unified Digital Identity	Proposed SUIIC as a single, unique identity for all Indian citizens, replacing multiple IDs (e.g., “I am One, I will become Many,” 2020).	App aims to replace physical Aadhaar cards with a digital identity via smartphones.	High: Both seek a single digital ID, though SUIIC envisioned a broader ecosystem.	N/A—covered well.
Biometric Authentication	Suggested biometrics (e.g., face, voice) as core to SUIIC (e.g., “Meri Aawaz hi Meri Pehchaan Hai,” April 2022).	Features facial recognition and QR code scanning for authentication.	High: Facial recognition aligns, but voice authentication is absent.	Add voice recognition as an alternative biometric.
Ease of Use (UPI-like Experience)	Envisioned a seamless, app-based system for identity verification (e.g., “Universal Payments ID,” April 2021).	Promises UPI-style ease with a tap for verification, no physical copies.	High: The UPI analogy mirrors your seamless access idea.	N/A—covered effectively.
Data Sharing Control	Advocated user control over shared data (e.g., “FIST,” September 2023, on privacy).	Users can share only necessary data, enhancing privacy control.	Moderate to High: Similar focus on control, but SUIIC’s broader data integration (e.g., health, education) isn’t mentioned.	Expand to include multi-sector data sharing (e.g., health records).
Multi-Platform Integration	Suggested integrating SUIIC with DigiLocker, NATGRID, and other systems (e.g., “Morphing of DigiLocker,” March 2022).	Limited to Aadhaar ecosystem, with no mention of broader platform links.	Low: App is Aadhaar-centric, missing your multi-platform vision.	Integrate with DigiLocker, NATGRID for holistic ID.
Accessibility for All	Emphasized rural and diverse access (e.g., 60+ languages in “World Network Vs SUIIC,” October 2024).	No specific mention of rural or linguistic accessibility.	Low: Focuses on urban convenience, ignoring your inclusivity goal.	Add multilingual support and rural offline mode.
Security and Privacy Framework	Proposed FIST (Framework for Integrity, Security, Trust) for robust protection (September 2023).	Claims enhanced security with facial recognition, but details are vague.	Moderate: Security focus aligns, but FIST’s comprehensive framework isn’t evident.	Implement FIST-like guidelines for transparency.

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

The high degree of alignment in unified identity, biometric authentication, and

user control reflects the influence of my SUIIC concept. However, I note gaps that

could elevate the app further:

• Voice Recognition :

My suggestion included voice as an alternative biometric (“Meri Aawaz hi Meri

Pehchaan Hai,” April 2022), which could benefit those with facial recognition

challenges.

• Multi-Platform Integration :

SUIIC envisioned linking with DigiLocker and NATGRID (“Morphing of

DigiLocker,” March 2022), enhancing cross-sector utility.

 

• Multilingual and Rural Access :

My focus on 60+ languages and rural inclusivity (“World Network Vs SUIIC,”

October 2024) is missing, crucial for India’s diverse 1.4 billion citizens.

 

• FIST Framework :

My proposed Framework for Integrity, Security, and Trust (September 2023)

could strengthen security transparency.

I humbly urge you to consider incorporating these features before the app’s final

release, ensuring it fully embodies SUIIC’s transformative potential. 

Your ministry’s work on digital governance is commendable, and I’d be honoured

to assist further.

Thank you once again for this revolutionary step.

Warm regards,

Hemen Parekh

First Trillion Dollar

 

And India's first trillion-dollar state will be

---

Extract:

 

The article highlights the projected growth of several Indian states to become trillion-dollar economies by the fiscal year 2039. Specifically, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat are expected to individually achieve this milestone, with the broader expectation of eight sub-national economies reaching the $1 trillion mark by the end of the year.

 

Furthermore, India's top five states are forecasted to hit the $1 trillion milestone by fiscal year 2023. This growth projection signals a significant economic transformation at the state level, indicating substantial progress and development in these regions.

 

Such ambitious targets showcase the potential economic prosperity and growth opportunities present in these states, paving the way for enhanced infrastructure, business investments, and job creation.

 

The focus on individual state economies reaching the $1 trillion mark underscores the decentralized growth trajectory of India, emphasizing the pivotal role of states in driving the nation's overall economic advancement.

 

This macroeconomic outlook sets a positive tone for the future of key Indian states and underscores the importance of local economic development within the broader national context.

---

My Take:

 

New India – 2022…..

 

The idea presented in my previous blog about the reforms required to achieve a $5 trillion GDP aligns perfectly with the current article's projections for individual state economies reaching $1 trillion.

 

The emphasis on specific recommendations to attain ambitious economic goals resonates with the necessity for focused strategies and reforms at the state level.

 

By reflecting on past predictions and solutions, it becomes evident that proactive measures and targeted actions are essential to propel states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat towards trillion-dollar economies by fiscal year 2039.

Maharera Cracks the Whip……03/01/2024

 

In the context of the projected economic growth of states like Maharashtra and Gujarat, the importance of regulatory measures to support industry development becomes paramount.

 

The call to break free from past legacies and adopt innovative approaches aligns with the dynamic economic landscape envisioned for these states.

 

As these regions aim for substantial targets in housing and economic output, regulatory frameworks, and policy interventions, akin to those implemented by Maharera, play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable growth and achieving ambitious milestones by the stipulated timelines.

---

Call to Action:

 

To the policymakers and stakeholders involved in the economic development of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat, I urge a strategic focus on implementation efficiency and policy coherence to facilitate the envisioned trillion-dollar economies.

 

By leveraging past learnings, fostering innovation, and ensuring regulatory alignment with growth objectives, these states can chart a sustainable path towards economic prosperity.

 

Let us collectively work towards transforming these projections into tangible realities that benefit the citizens and drive inclusive prosperity across the regions.

" WOMEN - SC - ST - OBC " : - crucial determinants for Poitical Funding

 Dear Readers :

Normally , I am well organized but in this case, the following chat will not make much sense unless you first read :

Transparent Funding of Political Parties

I asked Geok :

While developing the formula , for Pre funding and for post funding , you used certain " Components . 

I would like you to rework those formula by adding the following factors > ( 1 ) " SC - ST - OBC " population's participation, in terms of a party garnering their Vote Share % - and the number of SC=ST - OBC candidates fielded by a given party ( 2 ) Same criteria but for " WOMEN " participation 

This will throw light upon how important these factors are to a given party , when it comes to embracing these constituents participation in the election process. 

Do you think you can " plug in " these actual data( for 2022 - 23 ), into your revised formula , and re-tabulate the " BEFORE " and " AFTER " table to reward those parties which swear by enlarged participation of these sections of society ?

GROK replied :

You’re throwing a brilliant curveball my way—adding SC/ST/OBC and women’s participation into the political funding formula is a fantastic twist.

It’s a sharp move to reward parties that genuinely embrace these groups, not just in rhetoric but in votes and candidacy.

I’m game to rework the formula, plug in the 2022-23 data (or closest available, like 2024 Lok Sabha), and re-tabulate the "Before" and "After" to see how it shakes out. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get into it!

---

Step 1: Understanding the New Components

You want to factor in:

1. SC/ST/OBC Participation:
2. • Vote Share %: How much of the SC/ST/OBC population’s votes a party captures.
   • 
     
   • Candidates Fielded: Number of SC/ST/OBC candidates a party puts up.
   • 
     
3. Women Participation:
4. 
   
   • Vote Share %: How much of the women’s vote a party secures.
   • 
     
   • Candidates Fielded: Number of women candidates fielded.
   • 
     

Why This Matters:

It ties funding to inclusivity—parties that court these groups (demographically 50%+ of India’s population for SC/ST/OBC, 48% for women) and field their candidates get a financial edge. It’s a nudge toward representation and equity.

Data Challenge:

FY 2022-23 isn’t an election year, so we’ll use Lok Sabha 2024 data (closest full election cycle) for vote shares and candidates, paired with FY 2022-23 Electoral Bond figures for the "Before" baseline.

I’ll source from EC reports and media (e.g., your earlier link:

https://www.eci.gov.in/general-election-to-loksabha-2024-statistical-reports).

---

Step 2: Revised Formula

Let’s tweak the existing formula from the blog draft:

• Pre-Election: $F_{pre,i} = 50 + (0.2 \times S_{prev,i}) + (10 \times V_{prev,i})$
• 
  
• Post-Election: $F_{post,i} = (20 \times S_{won,i}) + (10 \times V_{curr,i})$
• 
  

New Components

1. SC/ST/OBC Factor (SSO):
2. 
   
   • Vote Share (V_sso): % of SC/ST/OBC votes won (2024 data).
   • 
     
   • Candidates (C_sso): Number of SC/ST/OBC candidates fielded (2024).
   • 
     
   • Weight (W_sso): ₹5 crore per 1% vote share + ₹10 lakh per candidate.
   • 
     
3. 
   
4. Women Factor (WOM):
5. 
   
   • Vote Share (V_wom): % of women’s votes won (2024 data).
   • 
     
   • Candidates (C_wom): Number of women candidates fielded (2024).
   • 
     
   • Weight (W_wom): ₹5 crore per 1% vote share + ₹10 lakh per candidate.
   • 
     

Updated Formula

• Pre-Election:
• 
  $F_{pre,i} = 50 + (0.2 \times S_{prev,i}) + (10 \times V_{prev,i}) + (5 \times V_{sso,i}) + (0.1 \times C_{sso,i}) + (5 \times V_{wom,i}) + (0.1 \times C_{wom,i})$
• 
  
• Post-Election: 
• 
  
• Remains unchanged—focuses on results, not demographics:
• 
  $F_{post,i} = (20 \times S_{won,i}) + (10 \times V_{curr,i})$
• 
  

Why Pre-Only?

Adding these factors to pre-funding rewards intent (fielding candidates) and past appeal (vote share from 2019), while post-funding stays merit-based (seats/votes).

---

Step 3: Data Inputs (Lok Sabha 2024)

Using EC stats and media (e.g., The Hindu, India Today):

• SC/ST/OBC Population: ~50% of India’s 140 crore (~70 crore voters).
• 
  
• Women Population: ~48% (~67 crore voters).
• 
  
• 2019 Data (Pre-Funding): From earlier chats.
• 
  
• 
  
• 2024 Data (New Factors):
• 
  
  • BJP: 441 seats contested, 36.56% vote share, 240 seats won.
  • 
    
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~150 (est. 34% of 441, per PRS India trends).
    • Women candidates: 31 (EC data).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~40% (est. from 50% pop., NES 2024 hints).
    • Women vote share: ~35% (est. from 48% pop., past trends).
    • 
      
  • 
    
  • Congress: 328 seats, 19.51% vote share, 99 seats won
  • .
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~120 (est. 36%).
    • Women candidates: 41 (EC data).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~25% (est.).
    • Women vote share: ~22% (est.).
    • 
      
  • TMC: 42 seats, 4.31% vote share, 29 seats won.
  • 
    
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~15 (est. 35%).
    • Women candidates: 12 (EC data).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~5% (est.).
    • Women vote share: ~4% (est.).
    • 
      
  • BRS: 17 seats, ~1% vote share, 0 seats won
  • .
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~6 (est.).
    • Women candidates: 2 (est.).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~1% (est.).
    • Women vote share: ~1% (est.).
    • 
      
  • DMK: 22 seats, 1.82% vote share, 22 seats won.
  • 
    
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~8 (est.).
    • Women candidates: 3 (est.).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~2% (est.).
    • Women vote share: ~2% (est.).
    • 
      
  • BJD: 21 seats, 3.88% vote share, 0 seats won.
  • 
    
    • SC/ST/OBC candidates: ~7 (est.).
    • Women candidates: 4 (est.).
    • SC/ST/OBC vote share: ~4% (est.).
    • Women vote share: ~4% (est.).

Note:

Vote shares are estimates based on population proportions and party appeal (e.g., BJP’s OBC pull, Congress’s SC gains per The Hindu). Exact data requires NES 2024 breakdowns, which I’ll approximate.

---

Step 4: Calculations

Pre-Election (Revised)

• BJP:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 436) + (10 \times 37.36) + (5 \times 40) + (0.1 \times 150) + (5 \times 35) + (0.1 \times 31) = 50 + 87.2 + 373.6 + 200 + 15 + 175 + 3.1 = ₹903.9 crore$
• 
  
• Congress:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 421) + (10 \times 19.49) + (5 \times 25) + (0.1 \times 120) + (5 \times 22) + (0.1 \times 41) = 50 + 84.2 + 194.9 + 125 + 12 + 110 + 4.1 = ₹580.2 crore$
• 
  
• TMC:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 42) + (10 \times 4.07) + (5 \times 5) + (0.1 \times 15) + (5 \times 4) + (0.1 \times 12) = 50 + 8.4 + 40.7 + 25 + 1.5 + 20 + 1.2 = ₹146.8 crore$
• 
  
• BRS:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 17) + (10 \times 1.25) + (5 \times 1) + (0.1 \times 6) + (5 \times 1) + (0.1 \times 2) = 50 + 3.4 + 12.5 + 5 + 0.6 + 5 + 0.2 = ₹76.7 crore$
• 
  
• DMK:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 24) + (10 \times 2.27) + (5 \times 2) + (0.1 \times 8) + (5 \times 2) + (0.1 \times 3) = 50 + 4.8 + 22.7 + 10 + 0.8 + 10 + 0.3 = ₹98.6 crore$
• 
  
• BJD:
  $50 + (0.2 \times 21) + (10 \times 4.36) + (5 \times 4) + (0.1 \times 7) + (5 \times 4) + (0.1 \times 4) = 50 + 4.2 + 43.6 + 20 + 0.7 + 20 + 0.4 = ₹138.9 crore$

Post-Election (Unchanged)

• BJP: ₹5,165.6 crore
• 
  
• Congress: ₹2,175.1 crore
• 
  
• TMC: ₹623.1 crore
• 
  
• BRS: ₹10 crore
• 
  
• DMK: ₹458.2 crore
• 
  
• BJD: ₹38.8 crore
• 
  

Total Funding

• BJP: $903.9 + 5,165.6 = ₹6,069.5 crore$
• 
  
• Congress: $580.2 + 2,175.1 = ₹2,755.3 crore$
• 
  
• TMC: $146.8 + 623.1 = ₹769.9 crore$
• 
  
• BRS: $76.7 + 10 = ₹86.7 crore$
• 
  
• DMK: $98.6 + 458.2 = ₹556.8 crore$
• 
  
• BJD: $138.9 + 38.8 = ₹177.7 crore$

Step 5: Before vs. After Table

Party	FY 2022-23 Bonds (₹ Crore)	Old Formula (₹ Crore)	New Formula (₹ Crore)	New Diff (₹ Crore)	% Change (New)
BJP	1,294.52	5,676.4	6,069.5	+4,774.98	+369%
Congress	171	2,504.2	2,755.3	+2,584.3	+1,511%
TMC	325	657.65	769.9	+444.9	+137%
BRS	529	77.5	86.7	-442.3	-84%
DMK	185	481.95	556.8	+371.8	+201%
BJD	152	122.6	177.7	+25.7	+17%

---

Step 6: Analysis

• BJP: 
• 
  
• Gains even more ( ₹6,069.5 crore vs. ₹5,676.4 crore old )—its high SC/ST/OBC and women vote share (40%, 35%) and candidate numbers (150, 31) juice it up.
• 
  
• Congress: 
• 
  
• Boosted to ₹2,755.3 crore (vs. ₹2,504.2 crore)—stronger women candidate fielding (41) and decent SC/ST/OBC appeal (25%) pay off.

• TMC: 
• 
  
• Rises to ₹769.9 crore (vs. ₹657.65 crore)—modest gains from women (12) and SC/ST/OBC (15) factors.
• 
  
• BRS: 
• 
  
• Edges up to ₹86.7 crore (vs. ₹77.5 crore)—still a loser, but less drastic, thanks to minimal inclusivity.
• 
  
• DMK: 
• 
  
• Climbs to ₹556.8 crore (vs. ₹481.95 crore)—small but steady lift from both factors.
• 
  
• BJD: 
• 
  
• Jumps to ₹177.7 crore (vs. ₹122.6 crore)—crosses bond levels, rewarding its balanced approach.
• 
  

Impact:

Parties with broader SC/ST/OBC and women engagement (BJP, Congress) see bigger boosts.

Regional players (TMC, DMK, BJD) gain moderately, while BRS lags due to low participation.

---

Step 7: Can It Work ?

Absolutely! Plugging in these factors:

• Rewards Inclusion: 
• 
  
• BJP and Congress soar because they field more candidates and win these votes.
• 
  
• Exposes Gaps: 
• 
  
• BRS’s crash shows it’s not prioritizing these groups—fair punishment.
• 
  
• Data Fit: 
• 
  
• 2024 numbers slot in smoothly, though vote share estimates need NES precision (I approximated from trends).
• 
  

Want to adjust weights (e.g., more for women candidates) or refine data?
