Thank You,
Aarogya Setu Team
At 11:23 am yesterday , I sent you following email requesting
launch of Version 2.0 of Aarogya Setu App, incorporating “ among few other , E – Pass “ feature :
At 06:07 pm , you replied :
-----------------------------
Dear Sir / Mam,
We appreciate your
inputs.
Aarogya Setu has already helped identify individuals who have come in close
proximity of persons who have tested positive for COVID-19 later on.
The inputs from the
App are being shared with the concerned Government authorities, who then
reaches out to these individuals and then undertake further testing and
containment measures accordingly
The e-pass feature is currently under testing and it will be
rolled out soon
As more people start
using this App, the more effective it can be as tool in combating the COVID-19.
regards,
Aarogya Setu

Thank You and Congratulations !
A few years ago, such a prompt and positive response to
a suggestion from an ordinary citizen, would have been unthinkable.
I wish you all success and look forward to
the launch of E – pass
And, even as you continue to develop E-pass, you must be
wondering :
“ So far , Aarogya Setu ( download / installation / entering
one’s infection status ) is voluntary .
It is not mandatory to download . Even those 6 crore persons who
have downloaded , may not install the E-pass feature when it gets launched.
How do we ensure that everyone with a mobile phone, not
only downloads Aarogya Setu V 2.0, but also uses E-pass ?
Till a law makes it mandatory, how can we MOTIVATE
people to install V 2.0 ?
How can we make downloading / installing of V 2.0, IRRESTIBLE ? “
Dear Team,
Corona Virus , besides being invisible, resembles the
legendary demon brothers, AHI-RAVANA and MAHI-RAVANA
When Lord Rama’s arrow made wounds in the bodies of
these demons, a hundred drops of blood fell on the ground
From each drop of blood , arose a duplicate / clone
demon . 100 drops produced 100 new demons !
Corona Virus is the 21st Century
version of those demons , where each infected person creates 100
infected persons ( within in a few days of spread from one to another )
There is no way we can win this WAR if it is left to
the sweet will of 130 crore Indians to decide
While fighting a war, we cannot take a REFERENDUM for,
“ To be or not to be ? / To install E-pass or not to install E-pass ?
There is just no time to seek a CONSENSUS or SELLING an
idea .
It is time for TELLING the people :
Ek ka Vishwashghat - Subka Vinaash
I urge you to consider ALL of the following (make it
YOUR BUSINESS without waiting for anyone to tell you ):
=======================================================================
# Arogya Setu , on its own, will
access / retrieve / sync with central database every hour and download
Mobile Numbers of ALL those who tested positive
and phones will start BEEPING
on proximity to infected
# Aarogya Setu to be pre-installed before phone
leaves factory / dealer’s shop
# Mobile Service Providers ( Reliance-Airtel –
Vodafone ) to stop serving phones without E-pass installed
# Tracking all phones using Indian GPS of NaVIC
====================================================================
# Central
Government ask all Mobile Service Providers [ MSPs ], to furnish location data ( GPS based ) of
all
of their customers , in order to develop “ HEAT MAPS “
=======================================================================
# Remotely identifying persons running high
body temperature ( one of the first symptoms of Corona virus )
, using a drone
[ source :
=======================================================================
# To implement
these suggestions, if required, get Google / Apple to modify their Operating
Systems ( Android-
IoS )
=======================================================================
# E-pass to also serve as a
MOBILE ATTENDANCE SYSTEM
As currently
envisaged, E-pass
will grant online permission to people to leave their homes (
for specified reasons )
for a few hours
If suitably
modified, it would enable people ( especially employed persons ) to “ mark their
attendance “ upon
reaching their place of work ( E-pass to be a PERMANENT FEATURE of
our economy , in both, the Organized and
the Un-organized sectors – including MSME )
As recommended
by me earlier, should the Governments ( Central + States ) decide to grant 25
% wage subsidy for the months of July-Aug-Sept ( 2nd quarter ), this modification of E-pass is a MUST
To know how E-pass should get modified to serve this purpose, read :
Ø From
BAD to MAD ……………………………………………….[ 01 June 2016 ]
Ø MAD
goes to Mandi ……………………………………………… [ 02 Jan 2020 ]
If all the employees of all the establishments in India were to
start marking their attendance using modified E-pass of Aarogya Setu, then , over a
period of a few months, following advantages will ensue as “ byproducts
“ :
# For employees , no need to file a separate
annual Income Tax Return
# Direct deposit of PF / TDS amounts into bank
accounts of Govt Depts
# Direct Benefit Transfer ( DBT ) to every Employer
for Stipend Subsidy ,
based on number of total trainees /
apprentices employed
# Total number of employees in India ( category
/ region / industry )
# Employment Density ( Industry wise /
Region wise / Skill wise etc )
# Net Employment Growth Rate ( weekly - monthly
/ Industry-wise )
# Co-relation with no of persons
graduating at various levels
# Data about those Unemployed ( "
Graduating " less " Employed " )
# Overtime Statistics ( Use / Abuse )
# Work-hour Analysis ( Ave hours / week
- month )
# Wage / Salary Rates ( Rs per hour ) -
Industry wise / Region wise
( of great interest to Foreign
Investors looking to bring down
manufacturing costs , by
outsourcing to India / manufacturing in India )
# Compliance
with labour laws / tax laws / Apprentice Act etc
# Job Market Forecasts through BIG
DATA ANALYTIC ( region / industry )
# Demographic Profiles of employees
( Rural to Urban migration )
# Per Capita Income Growth for persons using
MAD app ( MOM / YOY )
# Changing composition between Blue Collar
and White Collar employees
======================================================================
Dear Shri Narendrabhai,
As the proverb goes : The Buck Stops on your Table
You have no one to pass on the decision in respect of modifying
E-Pass as suggested above
Fortunately for our country, we have frontline soldiers of
Aarogya Setu Team , who say :
Karenge
ya Marenge
