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?!!

Freedom 2.0

It is just another Independence day for those who were not invited for the party of India's economic progress.

This is a feeble noise calling all sensible Indians who spend a good time flying all over the world and boasting big about the body (shopping) power.

It's not just Web 2.0 that Indian brains should be thinking, it's the Freedom 2.0 that is the need of the hour. This time it's not the benevolent British, the freedom lovers of India would be taking on. This time it's the hard to handle Indians themselves!

This time it's not a fight or non-cooperation but a major shift in the approach.

If you have the approach and some action items, tell this feeble blogger how could India get a system that is fair for all the billion Indians?

Happy Independence Day or is it Freedom 2.0 day?

A feeble noise of India

Just trying to make a feeble voice err.. noise heard amidst the loudspeakers that rule the roost in India!
