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,
Hemen Parekh

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

Friday, 12 November 2021

Thank You, Kris Gopalkrishnanji

 


What for ?

For “ in principle “ acceptance of my suggestion for creation of IndiaDataCustodian authority


Can you elaborate ?

Here is that news report :

Kris Panel on Data calls for National NPD ( Non Personal Data ) Authority /  ET  /  11 Nov 2021 


Extract :

Ø  The Kris Gopalkrishnan-led committee, tasked with defining the REGULATORY STRUCTURE for use of non-personal data ( NPD ) in the country, has recommended the establishment of a NATIONAL NPD AUTHORITY in the draft bill … Non-personal Data is information that is stripped of Personally Identifiable Material

Ø  The ..panel.. also lays out provisions under which companies that control high amounts of data will be classified as “ DATA BUSINESSES “ , as well as what will constitute as a “ HIGH VALUE DATA SET

Ø  The draft report envisages the setting up of several DATA TRUSTS by the government, which can ask for HIGH VALUE DATA-SETS – that are ANONYMOUS and will NOT IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS – from companies like Google and Amazon

Ø  These DATA-SETS can be sought by the Government or by OTHER COMPANIES

Ø  The PRICE at which the DATA-SETS will be shared will be left to the working of MARKET FORCES

Ø  The panel has “ rounded off the edges and made the report more palatable and done some fine tuning on aspects such as DATA SHARING , to make things easier and clearer for the industry “

Ø  While the core principles of the original report remain intact, some of the ambiguities have been removed

Ø  The Committee has taken cognizance of the people’s doubts and provided more clarity

Ø  This makes India one of the first countries to have a DRAFT LEGISLATION to regulate NPD even as other nations with large amounts of data are still weighing in on the contours of a legislation

MY  TAKE :

 

Ø  Kris Panel has accepted that,


      #  Personal Data can be treated / accepted as NON PERSONAL DATA, if it

          gets ”  Anonymized and Aggregated “

          

      #  Such NPD has a MARKET PRICE and can be SOLD / PURCHASED by

         companies and government


      #  Govt to set up several DATA TRUSTS , which can BUY (  and SELL ? ) –

          data sets

 

Ø  What disappoints me is that in the draft report there is no provision for : 


#  Treating every citizen to be the sole / absolute OWNER of his PERSONAL

     DATA , even if it is part of an Anonymized / Aggregated DATA SET

    

#  Every time anyone ( Company /  Individual / Govt ) buys a NPD DATA

    SET from anyone , the citizen will get a share of the PURCHASE

    PRICEif that DATA SET includes his own profile


    

Dear Shri P P Chaudhuryji

( Chairman, Joint Parliamentary Committee on Data Protection ),


Kris Panel has laid out the broad frame-work


But a LAW needs to spell out the MECHANISM / the digital PLATFORM, which will firmly REGULATE / MONITOR / ENFORCE, the citizen’s right to Personal Data Ownership and monetizing that data

 

To enable citizen to exercise these fundamental “ Data Ownership Rights, I urge your Committee to consider implementation of my following suggestion :


SARAL ( Single  Authentic  Registration for Anywhere  Login )…[ 10 Feb 2019 ]


Extract :


What does that stand for ?

 Single Authentic  Registration(for) Anywhere  Login

 

Advantage ?

No filling up / editing, your personal data, again and again, on hundreds of web sites. Just ONE site !

Preventing web sites to demand – and use – your personal data which they don’t need

     Enabling users to make money by “selling “their personal data

  

How much money can user ( possibly ) make by selling personal data ?

$ 4  from each website ( x 100 incidences / month = $ 400 pm = Rs 30,000 per month )

  

What DATA will be submitted on   www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in    ?

     Data will be submitted at 10 DATA LEVELS – described in detail at :

Only Answer :  a  Statutory  Warning   [  10  Nov  2018  ]

 

How will other web sites “Access “ these data of a user ?

    All web sites / mobile apps will enable a user to login by clicking ,

“ Log me with  www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in “


    No user will need to submit any personal data directly on ANY web site / mobile app


    Each user would need to select / specify ( on IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in ), which web site ( or type of web site ) can be granted  “ access “ to which DATA LEVEL , for free


    User will also select / specify which DATA LEVEL can be “ sold “ to what kind of web sites


    The “ Sale Price for each DATA LEVEL will be fixed by,

 b    www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in


   The “ for sale “ DATA will NOT reveal the identity of any user.

    It will be always anonymized / aggregated for a few hundred / few thousands users, based on “demographic profile “ configured by the buyer web site online ( on IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in ) and the purchase price paid online ( DBT to each User’s Bank account )

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Dear Shri P P Chaudharyji,

 

Your Committee meeting yesterday could not approve the DRAFT since various Committee Members raised following questions ( source :  Consensus eludes panel on Data Bill  /  Business Line   / 13 Nov 2021 ) :

Ø  We had unanimously recommended that these provisions are not enough and it should be made stronger. But the new draft does not have those provisions to our surprise

Ø  We asked the Chairman whose interest is the panel supposed to protect ? Of fiduciaries or citizens ?

Ø  It seemed to us that the Centre has a specific agenda to protect the data fiduciaries. We told him that if we continue like this, the committee will become a laughing stock

Ø  We should not delay it further. But it should not be a half baked law which will not strengthen the privacy of citizens. We will submit the report in the first week of winter session

Ø  There will be dissent notes to the report and to the Bill. Holistic views on the Bills will be given

Ø  Cases of breach of privacy are dealt by States. One Central authority sitting in Delhi cannot deal with such issues. The Chairman, however, has a different view. We will give dissent notes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    I urge you to incorporate my suggestion in your amended draft and re-circulate for consideration / discussion on 22 Nov meeting.


    Beyond doubt, it will prove to the Members that the interests of the Citizen comes first


    When the Bill gets introduced in Lok Sabha, it will find whole-hearted support from Opposition Parties


    And countries which are on look out for an alternative which is far better than GDPR, will copy your draft !

  

    With Regards,

     Hemen Parekh  /  hcp@RecruitGuru.com  /  13 Nov 2021

Centre initiates digital mission for digitisation of health records  /  ET  /  10 Nov 2021

Extract :

The Union Health Ministry has initiated digital registration of all medical facilities and doctors under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

 

In a letter to State Secretary and directors of health mission, the Health Ministry made it MANDATORY for all its health facilities to participate in the mission

 

Accordingly, all health facilities like,

 

#   Hospitals,

 

#   Clinics,

 

#   Laboratories,

 

#   Pharmacies,

 

#   Radiology Centres etc.,

 

where ANY HEALTHCARE FACILITY is provided, are requested to register for the Digital Mission, the letter said

 

Under the digitalization of Health Records Mission, Government hospitals are advised to procure :

 

Hospital Management Information System ( HMIS ) software

 

The Centre has also made available two solutions for the digitalization health records for the hospitals :

 

Ø  e-Hospital by NIC (National Informatic Center)

Ø  e-Sushrut by C-DAC (Center for Development of Advanced Computing).

PM Narendra Modi had launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission via video-conferencing on September 27

 

Under the Mission, every Indian will get a unique HEALTH ID that will also work as a HEALTH ACCOUNT to which PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS can be linked

   
The National Health Authority (NHA) has been entrusted with the task of implementing this initiative

 


MY  TAKE  :

 

Dear Shri Mandviyaji,


Thank you for enlisting all the HEALTH FACILITIES, as suggested in my following e-mail ( although, partially ) :

Ø  Modicare : A Game Changer………………… [ 01 Feb 2018 ]

 

Extract :

 

My suggestions :

 

      The scheme must cover

 

        #    Supply of Medicines / Medical Devices ( both preventive and curative )

 

 

        #    Delivery of Services ( Diagnostic /  Nursing  /  Hospitalization )

 

 

        #    Pregnancy / Delivery related medicines / investigations / hospitalization

 

 

        Prices for each / all of these must be fixed and published , not only on the

        web site of the Health Ministry but at ALL places where medicines or services

        are getting delivered

        

        Each eligible family member to be issued a “ Ayushman Card “ ( linked to

        Aadhar ID )

 

 

Ayushman card will have inbuilt memory capacity to store that person’s health data from “ Cradle to Grave “ ( Privacy advocate need not worry ! )

 

All the Health Data of all 50 crore beneficiaries to be stored on a Central Server for BIG DATA analysis , in order to “ Predict “ WHO might become susceptible to WHICH ailment and WHEN

 

As an alternative, a GPS enabled / NFC capable Smart Phone pre-loaded with AYUSHMAN MOBILE APP , could be considered to replace the card

  

      Ayushman Eco System shall consist of :

 

     #    50   crore poor beneficiaries

     #    All Medical Practitioners of India  ( Allopathic - Ayurvedic – Homeopathic )

     #     All Medical Shops of India  ( including  E – Pharmacies  )

     #     All  Nursing Homes / Hospitals / Diagnostic Centres / Health Centres etc

     #     All Pharma Companies

     #    Health Ministry

     #     All India Medical Association

     #     All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists ( AIOCD ) 

     #    Drug Controller General of India

     #    All  Medical  Colleges /  Medical Research Centres

     #    Any other entity which I might have missed out

 ================================

The Ayushman Eco System shall be built around the BLOCK-CHAIN technology , which will be the main operating system for implementation of the AYUSHMAN PROCESSES , described in my following earlier blogs ( sent as emails to Cabinet Ministers / Niti Aayog )

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

 

Dear Shri Mandaviyaji,

 

Here is one more suggestion :

On 26 Aug 2021, Govt launched e-SHRAM portal for registration of Migrant workers

As of yesterday ( 10 Nov 2021 ), some 7,33,48,928 workers have registered in 106 days since launch ( ave of 6.92 lakh / day ) – with, as many as 12.82 lakh registrations yesterday

92.35 % of those registered have a monthly income of Rs 10,000 or less and 83.56 % have furnished details of their Bank Accounts

As per e-SHRAM scheme, all registered are entitled to :

Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY)

( Health coverage of Rs. 5 lakhs per family / year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization free of cost )

( although with many Eligibility Conditions )

I urge you to consider issuing to these workers, Ayushman Bharat Health Record cards along with the e-SHRAM cards
