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?"

MSP > Most Saleable Proposal

 


 

 

Dear ,

Shri Piyush Goyalji ( piyush.goyal@gov.in )

Shri Arjun Mundaji ( Arjun.munda@gov.in / Arjun.munda@gmail.com / agrimin.india@gmail.com )

Shri Bhagvant Mannji ( cmo@punjab.gov.in / bhagwant.mann@sansad.nic.in / bhagwantmann@gmail.com )

 

When you meet the Kisan leaders today evening , do meet in a spirit of “ Give and Take

Make your “ compromise “ a “ win win “ solution where no one is a victor and no one gets defeated

I urge you to invite the Kisan Leaders to participate in “ good governance “ of the entire country and subsume

their self interest for the sake of a larger good

Please offer them my following proposal ( originally shared with them and the government , 2 years ago ) :

GIVE :

Ø  Legally binding MSPs for all 26 crops ( subject to revision every second year )

TAKE :

Ø  Legally binding MPQ ( Maximum Purchase Quantity ) for each crop ( calculated each year ), in such a way that the total budget allocation for purchase of all crops ( for the year ) shall NOT exceed ( say ) 10 % of Central Government’s TOTAL EXPENDITURE for the year ( as announced in Budget speech )

Eg :

For 2023-24, government’s total expenditure is estimated at Rs 45 lakh*crore

Therefore , government’s total purchase ( of all 26 crops ) shall not exceed Rs 4.5 lakh*crore

 

Here is how that procedure will work :

Ø  Point : Counter-Point // MSP : MPQ  …………………..  28  Nov  2021

 

Extract :

Dear Kisan Netas / Shri Tomarji,

Here too a Compromise Solution is possible in the spirit of Give and Take

It is : MSP linked with MPQ

Where, MPQ = Maximum Purchase Quantity ( separate figure for each of those 23 crops )

This means, in each year, Government shall not be obliged to purchase more than the MPQ ( at its MSP ), for any crop

The MSP and MPQ shall be worked out and announced by the govt. 6 months in advance of the coming year

As suggested in my following earlier blog-email, it is possible to automate this entire process of computation of MSP, by using Geo-Spatial Technology :

Agri Reforms : an Ongoing Process…………………….[ 20 Nov 2021 ]

 

Using same technology, it is possible to also calculate ( automatically and without human intervention ),

the MPQ for each of those 23 crops for the upcoming year

 

 Both, the Government and the Farmers should be happy with such an AUTOMATIC – SCIENTIFIC – UNBIASED

 – TECHNOLOGY BASED – DYNAMIC process, which announces its results on a Govt website within a specific

 time - frame

 This way, Govt will know in advance, the total amount of FUNDS that will be required for the coming season

And, knowing in advance, the MPQ / MSP for each crop, farmers will decide WHICH crop to plant and HOW

MUCH to plant ( Demand / Supply / Price, dynamics in regulated manner )

On Govt web site, each purchase ( at MSP ) will be published ( individual and cumulative ) for each crop

This will show, how much total has been purchased ( for each crop ) and how much still remains to be purchased

When Govt purchase for an MSP crop reaches its stipulated MPQ ( for a given season / year ) , the Govt will stop buying and declare in all media

Irrespective of this provision, farmers will be free to negotiate with any trader / middleman / business , any SALE QUANTITY at any negotiated price ( whether higher or lower than published MSP )

Based on State-wise distribution ( of production ) of any particular crop, Central Government will work out State-wise QUOTAS of purchase quantities for each crop

23

 msp_1 x mpq_1  =  Funds needed for Crop 1………..( insert data for all 23 crops, one by one )

0

 (  Formula based on INTEGRAL CALCULUS )

To win, Cars getting Light and Lean

 


 

Context :

 Carmakers go extra mile to keep vehicles light      ET  / 21 Jan 2024

Extract :

Indian carmakers are using lightweight materials like high strength steels and aluminium alloys to reduce the weight of bulky SUVs . The usage of high-strength steels and hot-stamped parts has increased in new age cars, reducing weight by about 30 kg. Mahindra & Mahindra has managed to reduce the weight of their SUVs, such as XUV-700 by 79 Kg

So, to have more features and still have lower CO2 emissions, carmakers employ high strength to weight ratio materials like high tensile and ultra high tensile steel, aluminium alloys , CARBON FIBRES and other engineering performance materials

 

 

 

My Take :

 

Ø  E – Car Extrapolation : a Wishful Thinking ?  .. …………..20 March 2019

 

Extract :

   Can weight of an E Car be reduced by 50 %  ?  And, if yes , can the Lithium-ion Battery capacity also get

 

   reduced by 50 % ?

 

     Eg :

 

     Can weight of Mahindra e-Verito [ D6 ], be reduced from 1265 kg to 650 kg –

     leading to its battery size going down from 21.5 KWh to 10 KWh ?

 

     [  e-Verito , most likely uses  840 kg  of steel and  130 kg of aluminum  ]


    Hey , Sounds incredible ! But is there a direct relation between the “ Car

   Weight “ and “ Battery Size “ ?


   Can a 10 KWh battery suffice if e-Verito’s weight gets reduced to 650 Kg ?

 

    OK, fine ! but how can we bring down the weight of e-Verito from 1265 Kg to

    650 Kg ?

 

    #  By replacing Steel used in car , with Graphene

 

How is that important ?

 

#    Graphene is  200 times stronger than steel  and  10 times better at conducting

      heat  than copper

 

#    Graphene-based chips could deliver speeds more than ten times faster than

      silicon chips

 

#    In chemical and electrical sensors, graphene could increase sensitivity by a

      factor of more than 30

 

#   Graphene is also  250 times better  at conducting electricity than silicon

 

#   If we replaced the silicon chips in today’s transistors with graphene-based

     chips, we could increase the speed of electronic devices ten-fold

     

Do you think any of our Policy Makers would ask our scientists / engineers to

 examine this ?

 

I have no doubt that should  Shri Nitin Gadkariji  get to read this blog ( - being

sent to him as an email ) , then he will waste no time to do so

 

He might ask ISRO :

 

“ Can you develop Solar Panels using Graphene to boost its efficiency manifolds (

   say from current 20 % to 80% ) 

 

  – then install such a Solar Panel on roof-top of an Electric Car , to continuously

   charge its Lithium-ion battery, so that E cars do not need any road-side Battery

   Charging Stations , saving an investment of Rs 175  lakh*crore ? “

I am not worried about my Deep Fake

 


 

Reason ?

Obvious reason >  I am not a celebrity ( Politician-Actor-Author-Sportsperson-

                           Singer etc )

Not so obvious  >  I have already launched my DEEP REAL(www.HemenParekh.ai

                            ) before someone does my Deep Fake

                            

But you could still get scammed by hackers. Yesterday, a TV anchor warned that

you could receive a phone call from a scammer which sound just like the voice of

your child, but totally fake ( voice cloning )


If you are still not afraid, you will be after reading following news report :

Is it love or just AI? 26% Indians’ potential love interest is AI bot: Report       Business Line … 12 Feb 2024

 

But then, you could turn this “ threat “ into an “ opportunity


By turning yourself into an “ Influencer “ as described in following report :

The rise of virtual influencers    … Humanity Redefined  … 13 Feb 2024

 

 

Not a Virtual, but Real ( like www.HemenParekh.ai )

 

 

Then no one would waste his time in creating your Deep Fake

 

Having already seen and “chatted“ with your Digital Avatar, people will recognize if


they see your Deep Fake !

 

 

Celebrities, beware of the “ Ides of March “  !
