It will be a great achievement for the Government, if all political parties come under RTI. Am sure everybody understand the difficulty of achieving this on book-keeping of past records, hence please make it on prospective basis, let’s say effective from 01 April 2017 onwards all such information to be provided under RTI

It will be good idea, if the Government pushes for all donations to Political parties only through digital mode, including cheque payments. Let the digital payments make the compulsory for all political parties.

I am not aware of PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT MECHANISM for Government positions. Private organisations are using various management tools to spell out JOB DESCRIPTION for each position starting from chairperson exploding it down to the junior most staff. Work men are covered by INCENTIVE SYSTEM. There are many HUMAN RESOURCE CONSULTANTS specializing in providing this service. In my opinion our HRD Ministry must IMMEDIATELY implement identical system for all levels in/under Govt.

Let people learn digital way of transactions & otherwise it never happen

For making India a digital India we need free or cheaper Internet connection with high and un-interrupted internet connections. Telecom industries can play vital role by implementing their ideas. Providing cheaper or free internet access to the users can also be added as one of the areas under CSR policy. Thank you. Ibha Shaw

Out of a cyberpunk dystopia, China has gamified obedience to the State. China has created a social tool named Sesame Credit which gives people a score for how good a citizen they are. The system measures how obediently citizens follow the party line, pulling data from social networks and online purchase histories.www.independent.co.uk http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-has-made-obedience-to-the-state-a-game-a6783841.html
