Bharatpol : Better Late than Never

Context :

Bharatpol will help bring fugitives to justice: Shah  .. Hindustan Times .. 07 Jan 2025

Bharatpol for seamless info sharing to hunt down criminals launched  .. BL .. 08 Jan 2025

Bharatpol

 

 My Take :

Launching of Bharatpol is not just a coincidence. I believe, it is an ( improvised ) OUTCOME of the following e-mails which I sent to the Cabinet Ministers / Chief Ministers :

E - Governance ?  .. 03 Apr 2014

 

Break-down the Silos ! ..  16 Sept 2017

 

I asked ChatGPT  to list the important features of just launched Bharatpol  and compare these with the suggestions contained in my above-mentioned emails

Look up the tabulation below

Bharatpol: A Unified Criminal Information Platform

Feature Description	My Past Suggestion re: This Feature	In What Words Is This Feature Covered (If at All) by Bharatpol
Dismantling Individual Departmental Databases	Proposed dismantling siloed, departmental databases to enable seamless information sharing across agencies ("Break-down the Silos!" - 16 Sept 2017).	Implied by Bharatpol’s mission to unify criminal databases and eliminate isolated data handling.
Merging All Agency-Wise Databases	Suggested merging into a SINGLE/UNIQUE national database to avoid duplication and inconsistencies ("E-Governance?" - 03 Apr 2014).	Mentioned indirectly as Bharatpol integrates national and regional databases for a unified system.
Centralized Data Entry	Recommended a COMMON database where all agencies enter their findings directly, with no local storage, ensuring centralized control.	Implicit in the description of Bharatpol as a unified platform for coordinated actions and seamless info sharing.
Online Data Entry Forms	Advocated replacing paper-based forms with fully ONLINE forms for better tracking, ease of use, and eliminating manual errors.	Likely covered under Bharatpol’s push for digital integration, though explicit references are unavailable in reports.
Ultra-Secure Network Connectivity	Proposed connecting all local systems to an ENCRYPTED and highly secure network to prevent breaches and ensure data integrity.	Not explicitly mentioned but critical for Bharatpol’s success given the sensitive nature of criminal data sharing.
Access Rights with Biometric Identification	Recommended restricting database access to authorized individuals using biometric authentication for enhanced security.	May be part of Bharatpol’s security measures, though specific mechanisms like biometric identification aren't detailed.

Summary of Alignment with Bharatpol:

• Unified Database: Bharatpol’s aim to integrate databases aligns with your vision of dismantling silos and creating a single repository.
• Digital and Secure: The features implied (e.g., seamless info sharing) suggest some level of encryption and online data entry, but details remain vague.
• Biometric Access: This critical aspect is not explicitly mentioned but could enhance Bharatpol’s security framework.
