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 :
[ A ]…… PLATFORM
# That platform must provide the citizen with following “ interfaces “ using
any of which , she
can view
to “ interact “ with the MPs :
Ø A TV Channel
Ø A Web Portal ( accessible using smartphone /
tablet / AR-VR glasses )
Ø A Mobile App
Use of “ Immersive Tech “ should enable a citizen to get a feeling that she is
actually “ sitting “ in the
[ 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
Source-code for this, can be freely downloaded from
When any “ voting “ is taking place, citizen should be able to register
their own “ Vote “ ( in
favour /
App. Of course, the results of such a “ CITIZEN VOTE “ will not be displayed
until all MPs have cast their own votes first. This ( intentional ) delay is to
ensure that the MPs are not getting biased by what the citizen think about
any given resolution / bill
[ C ] MP “ Janam Kundli “
# Web Portal must display comprehensive data about each MP ( past and
present ) including his
[ D ] Performance of MPs in Parliament
# Live telecast / searchable database of entire proceedings ( audio – video
search ) but no
[ E ] “ Work from Anywhere “ for MPs
# MPs are required to be travelling in their respective constituencies to
meet the citizen for listening to
the progress of “ Development Projects “ .
Hence,
on many
ongoing Parliament Session in person
I urge you to ensure that the DIGITAL SANSAD platform enables such
travelling MPs to participate in
