Role of Business
     and Government
Enabling a Groundswell of Change


            Rajesh Jain
         NetCore Solutions
                                   1
We need to combine Information,
Participation, Regulation, and Tech

 Information        Participatory
Infrastructure      Governance

           Regulatory
            and Tech
           Framework
                                      2
An “InfoStructure” is needed to
aggregate and dissemination information
• Constituency-level
   – Local data
   – Social and Infrastructure Metrics, and changes
     over time
• Election-time
   – Candidates info availability in structured format
      • “Political Bio”
   – Track promises made
• Governance
   – Actions, Results, Scorecards, Comparisons, Funds
     flow                                                3
Citizens need to be given ways to
Participate in the Governance Process
• Two-way governance: Input and Involvement in
  Decisions
   – Engagement
   – Feedback
   – Response
• Businesses also needs to be involved in a positive,
  pro-active manner
• We, the People, need to be more-proactive
   – Will need Time from each one of us
   – Real Reform will come when candidate quality
     improves
                                                    4
This needs to be supported by a
    Regulatory and Tech Framework
• Regulation
  – Transparent Government Act
  – Mandatory declaration of info
  – Internet / Mobile voting?
  – Sharing across government agencies!
• Technology
  – Internet
  – Mobile

                                          5
Experiment: Use of SMS to disseminate
   info in recent Assembly Elections
• Chattisgarh, Delhi, MP, Rajasthan Elections
• 4 free, opt-in, multi-lingual SMS channels for updates
  on candidates and their criminal records
   – eg. To subscribe: sms START ELECTIONDEL to 575758
   – Promotion: via ads on MyToday and ADR website
• 1,500+ citizens subscribed
• 15+ SMSes sent to each subscriber
   – There are 24 MLAs in current Delhi Vidhan Sabha with
     pending criminal cases. Vote for clean candidates this time.
   – The present Delhi Vidhan Sabha has 70 MLA’s out of which
     6 MLA’s are women (Src: Delhi Govt website).               6
Ideas for “InfoStructure” in
         National Elections 2008
• Internet + Mobile combo
  – Constituency-wise info availability
  – Candidate comparison
  – Political party info
• Opt-in SMS service to drive voter education
  – Voter Registration
  – Candidate info
  – Alert on Election day
  – Feedback on ‘Mischief’ (SMS, Photos, Videos)
                                                   7
