Infy boss to join government

The person behind Thomas Friedman`s bestselling` The World is Flat' and the poster boy of indian infotech and co-chairman of Rs.22,000cror infosys Nandan Nilkeni is now ready to construct a real India from his `imagining India'. He is heading the project to equip every Indian with a biometric Uniqe Identification Card.I think this is a landmark event of Indian governance system. This is the biggest movement from private sector to government in India in the post-independence era.Now he is holdingRs.3,500cr. worth share in Infosys of which he was co-founder with his mentor N.R.Narainmurthy. Both Mr.Nilkeni and his mentor have always been imbued by a sense of public purpose. To avoid any conflict of interest, he will quit his lucrative job as co-chairman of the Rs.22,000cr. Infosys. Mr. Nilkeni has been given the rank and status of cabinet minister, a corpus of Rs.100cr. For building his core team, he can draw in talent from the private sector. This would be a revolutionary step. In the past, we have an example of DMRC, headed by E.Sridharan.He was given freedom to a great extent. It resulted in huge success of project. Many depeloped countries especially in U.S. lateral entry of capable persons from various field into government is fairly common but rare in India. Earlier in 1987, then Prime Minister Rajiva Gandhi bought in Sam Pitroda to head the Technology Mission which is largely responsible for the I.T. revolutions. Even our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was bought in for then urgently required economic reforms. We know that by new economic reforms we are the world`s fourth largest economy of the world in PPP terms. The UIC project is an ambitious project of Rs.15000cr. It will catalogue personal details of every Indian citizen on smart cards.Name, sex, address, marital status, photo, identification mark and finger biometric will be included.Since it is a technology driven initiative that dovetails perfectly with the core competence of this electrical engineer from I.I.T.
