Unique ID for Indians! A dream coming true

As someone who has spent time thinking how to solve problem of Unique Patient ID that can be transferred across healthcare providers in India, I am overtly delighted that the Government of India is listening!

Now that GoI has listened and proposed to issue Unique Citizen ID from 2010 we should wait and see how it will actually bring the concept to implementation especially in rural India.

The first time I wished that India should have an UID system was when I learnt of NRIC system in Singapore way back in 1995.

Better late than never! Welcome Unique ID. It helps avoid submitting various docs for identity proof. It will also help us push for voting mobility due to the Unique ID being truly unique for each voter?!!

Nano gets a meaningful home!

Narendra Bhai Modi settled Ratan Tata's problems by offering land for his dream project of delivering Nano car in Gujarat!

While Nano in dictionary means short or one billionth, the meaning of "Nano" in Gujarati is small!! I wonder if the word Nano was derived from the Gujarati "Nano" (aka Naana) :-)

Whatever, the logic behind the origin of the word Nano, I feel Tata's Nano has finally got a meaningful home thanks to Narendra Bhai's swift action to offer clearance for a "Mota" (meaning big in Gujarati!) Project in a record 10 days.

I would have liked if Nano had also made a second delivery base from Dharwad to cater to South India.

I have another link to the word Nano as a company I am associated with in Singapore is preparing to launch another Nano offering!!

Let's hope Nano helps the People of India in bettering their lives.
