Context :
Ease
of living issues high on agenda at PM-chaired NITI Aayog meeting ….
Busi Line …….. 14 July 2024
Extract :
Modi
wants, businessline has
learnt, to finally give comprehensive shape in his third regime to ease of
living issues for the benefit of common man, he has been talking about in
the last one decade at power.
That essentially would mean easy access to welfare schemes and quality in
service delivery, said government sources.
It is
learnt that the participants including Chief Ministers of States and Lt
Governors have been apprised beforehand that the theme of ease of living will
figure prominently in the NITI Aayog’s Governing Council meeting.
But, government sources stated that a detailed agenda was being worked out and would
be shortly shared with the participants ahead of the meeting in Delhi.
The
letter to CMs and LGs also stated that the theme ease of living was
deliberated extensively at the 3rd National Conference of Chief Secretaries
held late last December.
Removing bureucratisation
The Chief Secretaries had converged on five sub-themes that they
thought were necessary to weed out bureaucratisation of governance and delivery mechanism.
They are land and property; electricity; drinking water; health; and schooling.
The public’s maximum exposure with the government happens in these
domains, and, if things get simplified, it would bring much relief
from routine hassles in their lives, believe sources.
About 21 States and UTs have enacted acts to give right to
public services, which binds the administrations for timely
delivery of services such as issuing certificates for caste, birth, marriage and
domicile, besides land record copies, ration cards, voters’ cards, and electric
connections. Still, the struggle for people is far from over due harassment
by government officials.
Apart from that, the NITI Aayog Governing Council will also
take a stock of the vikasit bharat@2047 matter, which is a road-map and outcome-oriented
action plan to make India a developed nation when India turns 100.

Questions :
Ø How many of our 140 crore citizen, even know about this online source for finding
suitable schemes ?
[ How many of those Chief Ministers attending the NITI meeting on 27th July,
know
about this portal ? ]
Ø Has any Government Officer ever tried to search on this portal, schemes for which she
is
eligible ?
If she did then she will tell you that :
# It is a very laborious and complicated process to search/find, schemes for
which a visitor is eligible
# At the end of search-process, the schemes SUGGESTED by portal , are just
not meant for her !
Dear
Prime Minister :
If Mohamed cannot go to Mountain, then let the Mountain
go to Mohamed

Not only is my suggestion eminently possible , it is the only SURE WAY to enroll those
eligible for each scheme

Hardly a day goes by without you exhorting Government Officers, to use Artificial
Intelligence ( AI ), for solving “ Ease of Living “ issues
My suggestion requires use of AI Technology
