Local residential registration, specially for rental tenants

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 19-MAR-2010

I think the local registration and yearly renewal should be started and made mandatory in Indian towns, cities. Currently its very difficult to track/confirm proof of residence. I believe this will help in several ways if planned and implemented/enforced well. It may be one difficult/massive project, its beyond my imagination. But I feel strongly believe it will be best complementary project for UID. Both put together will make it.

Jeffrey Lee in Australia is sitting on Uranium deosits which can provide 'clean' energy to the entire country for decades together and beyond. But, he is not interested in selling out even if it will make him amongst the richest men in the world (check this report in Daily Good).

Way out of the mining imbroglio

murali772 - 1-DEC-2009

Mining, like defence contracts, is prone to corruption. Extracting resources from the ground does not lend itself to the usual rules of competition. A mine is a natural monopoly and the state, which gives the right to mining, is also a monopoly. The two come together in the backroom and you get crony capitalism. What is the answer?

The Karnataka Private Medical Establishments Act, 2007

vinod_shankar - 26-OCT-2009

In the first week of october 09 the rules for karnataka private medical establishment act were notified.  The bill itself was passed in august 2007.  The bill affects every person who undergoes medical treatment in karnataka.   I think this deserves attention as effects everyone from the poor to the rich of our state.
