Previous post: Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis? - Post-1.

In this post we are trying to club together economy, environment, inclusiveness, crisis, technology and innovation. Mainly, with our limited/scarce resources, focusing on availability of essential goods and services to everyone to achieve inclusiveness goal minimizing environmental impacts 1 2 3 by judiciously streamlining production of goods & services along with crisis/disaster avoidance/prevention strategies and supporting inclusive entrepreneurship. Though the post seems incomplete let me just post it now and then edit and post next version or delete it entirely later depending upon satisfaction of other criteria which are written at the end of this post. We will try to discuss views of many other swadesi, videsi and paradesi (?!#%^%) economists & environmentalists also later.


3. Goods & Services Gateway (GS Gateway, GSG)

Here are a few quotes from earlier posts in various other threads.

The news says that medical history of any patient will be available to all networked government hospitals. But what we need is an interface similar to UPI for cashless transaction which will enable any record of any patient undergone treatment at any hospital irrespective of government or private to be available in any other hospital through Unified Hospitals Interface.

Other intersting thing is whether the government is going to make doctor's prescription available to pharmacist electronically. Irrespective of digitization and electronic signature I would like a printed copy being signed by doctor available to patient so that he can cross check what pharmacist gave against this. Although purchase data can be stored it should not be transparent to doctor! And some of issues may also have to be addressed like what is the expiry time for doctor's prescription? Or how long a person can take medicine without renewing prescription? Whether system will just generate warning or stop issuing medicine itself (not for medicines recommended for life time) or whether prescription can be automatically renewed without the patient visiting doctor again?

In which election we will have a promise on 'Health Gateway' (Medical Interoperability Gateway 2)? General Election 2029? I think if we get promise in 2029 then we can hopefully have useful one in 2059 only.
What we are trying to create is "Enterprise software" for the country.
Quote:
Services provided by enterprise software are typically business-oriented tools, such as online shopping, and online payment processing, interactive product catalogue, automated billing systems, security, Business Process Management, enterprise content management, IT Service Management, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, business intelligence, project management, collaboration, human resource management, manufacturing, occupational health and safety, enterprise application integration, and enterprise forms automation.
Federal enterprise architecture
Introduction to Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)
Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)

We talk about 'Digital Economy' 2 3 4 5 initially and then move on to other phases. (How many universities/colleges in India are teaching M.Sc. in Digital Economy? 1).

Our priority is 'Essential Goods & Services' and hence we can call it 'Essential Goods & Services Enterprise software'. Most importantly we want to demonopolize 1, decentralize resources & services and keep it open to all through 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway'. Apart from demonopolization (fairness), decentralization & openness 2 3 4 5 other design qualities like human-centricity 1 2 (inclusivity), portability 1 2 3 4 5, modularity 1 2 3 4 5, autonomy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, resilience 1 2, evolvability 1/evolutionity 1 2 3 4 5 6, adaptability 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, emergentism 1 2, agility 1 2 3 4 5, scalability 1/expandability 1, expansionism 1 2, symbioticity 1, diversity/multiplicity 1 2 3 4, pluralism 1, security 1 2 3, shareability/distributability 1 2 3, efficiency 1, effectiveness 1, reactivity 1 2 x 3, mobility 1 2 3 4, determinism 1/predictability 1 x 2, controllability 1, coherency, consistency, unambiguity, acceptibility, usability, integrity, reliability, availability, simplicity, accountability, privacy (not against openness or transparency), maintainability etc are also important for economy & society enabled by technology (for example, modular, autonomous, resilient, evolutionary administraton/governance/society/enterprise/machine with symbiotic relationship & porting/sharing data/information/knowledge with others; another example is autonomous decentralized cities vizualized by Society 5.0)(modularity, autonomy enable easy decoupling hence decentralization). Though here 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' is further classified as Health Gateway, BFSI Gateway etc in reality there could be only 'Enterprise Gateways' (or 'Enterprise Platforms' or 'Business Platforms' or 'Organization Platforms') hosting all types of enterprises interoperating with each other. Through 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' we are trying to achieve 'Digital Essential Goods & Services'. Anyway, this is foundation for our 'Integrated Platform Economy' (Meta/Hyper Platform Economy?) or 'National Enterprise software'. The integrated knowledge database of 'Integrated Platform Economy' enables us to analyze/synthesize linkages between different sectors (aided by big data & artificial intelligence - systems/smart thinking.) and build colloboration among sectors.

We need detailed study of interdependency of essential goods & services sectors with other MSME sectors (Link missing to start economic activities from April 20 despite green signal from government). For example, a MSME enterprise serves agriculture and automobile sectors then under crisis it can be degraded to serve only agricultural vertical (of couse, automobiles are used by essential services also but to a small extent compared whole sector).

First of all, what we need is "Essential Goods & Services Resource Planning" software tools. Most important one is "Essential Goods & Services Supply Chain Resource Planning" to understand the entire flow of goods & services. What we need to capture by using the tools is dependency of primary, secondary, tertiary sectors of "Essential Goods & Services" with non-essential ones. Once we know all dependencies we have to reclassify those "Non-essential Goods & Services" which are needed by "Essential Goods & Services" as "Dependee Goods & Services" (or "Maintainers Goods & Services") to operate with reduced production or service capacity clauses and add to "Essential Goods & Services". If a company maintains its purchases & sales account (is this a data privacy issue?) properly then this data may be captured from there. Based on this data the government can issue e-permission to operate a company during lockdown. The mapping also helps us in analysing what will happen to supply chain and which are the other companies going to suffer if a company is forced to shutdown for not following lockdown rules. For example, mobile/internet service is one of dependee service.

If we think nation as an enterprise mainly at macroeconomic level then nested within it will be so many other enterprises mainly at microeconomic level. Each state is an enterprise and even each local government is an enterprise. Then there are so many other individual/family/public/private/corporate/non-corporate/organized/unorganized/cooperative/volunteer enterprises. Many of them may be enterprise at international levels. We can imagine each ministry as an enterprise nested in nation/state enterprises. All these enterprises (fully autonomous or not) though locally controlled by the respective owners need to interact with each other or be interoperable (for goods & services). In summary, national enterprise is network of government enterprises, private enterprises, volunteer enterprises (NGOs, CBOs) including individual citizens.

Each enterprise requires Enterprise Control. In case of smart city we have Command and Control Centre (Incident Command System, Emergency Response System 2, War Room is a part of Enterprise Control). We can treat a city or a district or a region as an enterprise. Command and Control Centre can be used at city or district or regional level by the dominant city of the district or the region. This Command and Control Centre interoperates with state and national level Command and Control Centre, peers and other nested enterprise level command and control centres. Though Command and Control Centre is for over all administration under crisis it degrades to essential goods & services as there will be more issues in providing essential goods & services than under normal circumstances. We have to discuss technology usage for building crisis avoidance strategies (Design for Crisis Avoidance) along with crisis management separately.

For 'Goods & Services Gateway' under crisis like biodisaster our priority is for 'Essential Goods & Services'. We should be able to gracefully degrade enterprise to 'Essential Goods & Services Enterprise'. Degradation may mean using scarce resources (raw materials) only for essential needs. That is what 'doughnut economics' 2 model wants to focus on even otherwise for achieving equitable & eco-freindly growth and purpose of SDG tracking material footprint (sum of consumed local & imported resources) is also for achieving eco-freindly growth. But under biocrisis even education, social activities etc are degraded. All activities should be decentralized as much as possible but monitored from a central location to meet gaps. Centralized monitoring (state & nation level) is needed for example to avoid panic buying of medical/pharmaceutical products (or any other essential goods) by one region resulting in scarcity in other regions and also for standardizing crisis management policies.

As the nation economically develops & financial power & crisis management capabilities increases it can upgrade essential goods and services to include more sectors which are relatively more essential compared to other sectors but not classified currently as essential with all precautionary disaster escalation prevention measures. Of course, the nation should allow expansion only if there is no environmental side effects.

We could have called 'Goods & Services Gateway' as 'Market Gateway', 'Trade Gateway', 'Commerce Gateway', 'Supply/Demand Chain Gateway', 'Transaction Gateway', 'Commodity Gateway', 'Economy Gateway', 'Management Gateway', 'Society Gateway' (Society 5.0) or 'Earth/India Gateway'. Or as 'Goods & Services Platform'. What is there in a name? One name can be nested inside other as per our convenience after defining them & their relations as per our convenience.


Essential Goods & Services Gateway (EGS Gateway, EGSG)

'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' consists of following listed as bullet points. Mapping (traceability) to Sustaiable Development Goal (SDG) sections is marked in brackets.
  • 'Health Gateway' for health services 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. (SDG 3).

    • Treatment Planner/Tracker apps.
    • Hospital Environment 2 & Ergonomics 2 Analysis, Modeling, Simulation, Prediction & Risk Assessment tools (healthcare facility design safety -> patient safety, staff safety, visitors safety to ensure operational/occupational safety) 1 2 3. Includes sterilization, housekeeping monitoring (sterilization log apps, hazardous waste disposal logs etc).
    • "Doctor's Appointment e-Pass" during lockdown to allow patients to meet doctors. That means e-pass apps should be interoperable with e-appointment apps. Also used for issuing e-pass to allowed visitors of patients.
    • 'Online Medical Prescription' to avoid second visit to doctor after getting test results. All test reports should be available online. This is needed to avoid unneccessary second journey during lockdown and also to get medicine from pharmacy shops as posted earlier.
    • Inteoperability of Pandemic Disease Tracker apps with other tracker apps (for example central tracker) and other apps like point of interest (POI) apps, heat map apps, e-delivery apps etc.
    • Drug Information Interoperability 1 2 3. Drug Disease Model interoperability should also be addressed. We also need mapping of drugs prescribed by doctors to generic drugs delivered at Janaushadhi centres.
    • Drug Discovery Information Interoperability to share data among research institutes - a part of 'Research & Innovation Informatics'

As such there is no need to differentiate between essential and non-essential goods but logistics for essential goods & personnel delivery has to be strengthened in particular & checkposts should allow passage of essential goods easily.
    • e-commerce, retail informatics
    • Mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems 1
    • 'Essential Supply/Demand Chain Gateway' 1 2 (Pharmacy & Healthcare, BFSI, Food, Fuel & Energy, Water, Waste, Security, Dependee Goods)
    • Pharmacy & Healthcare 1 2 3

    • Fuel & Energy (SDG 7) - this should include electricity
    • Water Management - water informatics, supply chain, services - plumber, bills, connection apps.
    • waste Management
    • Security
    • Aarogya Setu & Sahyog are useful apps for door-to-door delivery.
    • All in essential goods supply chain including pettyshops are connected through at least mobilephone apps.
  • 'Inclusive Essential Services Gateway' 1 (SDG 1, 5, 10)
    • Social Services Gateway - can be a part of SME enterprise platform mentioned below. This gateway is mainly for Volunteer Organizations and Social Enterprises.
    • Inclusive e-governance & e-services (part 5)' - Community Based Organizations Incubation talks about how 'CBO platform' (in general 'organization platform') for incubating and operating CBOs (in general, non-profit or profit-making social entrepreneurship 2). Inclusiveness also need digital social entrepreneurship support 1 2 3 as mentioned in the Inclusive e-governance & e-services (part 5)' - Community Based Organizations Incubation post.
    • Jio and Microsoft announce alliance to accelerate digital transformation in India - hopefully Rs 1,500 a month is manageable by all inclusive startups mentioned in previous bullet point link. Micro-enterprises should be concourged to form associations to join this 'SME enterprise platform' so that they can share cost (what are the issues?) 1. A tool can be developed to nest micro-enterprise within association-enterprise. As such Jio can cover functions of entire EGS Gateway.
    • All SME enterprise platforms proposed including Jio-Microsoft should be interoperabe with each others. Should be decentralized with decentralized social network 2 like Mastodon. Of course 'Community Based Organizations Incubation' talks about incubating Community Based Organizations through social media (that is incubation of enterprises through social media). To achieve this social media integrated to SME enterprise platforms should be available free of cost to all.
    • Provide a platform for plumbers, carperterns and other daily wage workers to seek jobs.
    • High interoperability should enable small enterprises to collaborate & scale up to compete with a big enterprise.
  • 'Education Gateway' (SDG 4) - Not needed during lockdown. Online education during crisis. Education Informatics.
  • 'Research & Innovation Gateway' (SDG 9.5) - We are not going to say 'Essential or Crisis-Time Research & Innovation Gateway' as all Research & Innovation Infrastructure setup can adopt and collaborate during crisis. And IT can contribute a lot for research & innovation (IT included with 'goods & service' as GST is applicable to IT services). - Education?
    • 'Research & Innovation Informatics' (or R&D Informatics) 1 along with issues, actions & best practices tracker tools. (Translational Research Informatics?, Clinical Research Informatics?, Neuroinformatics?).
    • Both IT and R&D enterprises can colloborate with SME enterprises on 'enterprise platform' or 'Community Based Organization Platform' for inclusive research & innovations. Yukti2.0? (public–private–academia collaboration platform 2 3)
    • Startup India, Yukti2.0 integration with 'enterprise platforms'.
    • It has to colloborate with educational sector as research & innovation is an integral part of higher education. In this way a part of educational sector can be a 'dependee goods & services'.
    • First priority is for essential R&D needs like healthcare during crisis like biodisaster, next priority for other essential sectors.
    • Intellectual Property Rights Information (Patent Informatics 1)
    • Indian Open Source Ecology 2 similar to IndiaStack encouraging Knowledge Commons 2 3 (creative/collaborative commons) (could be reserved/patented by nation as a whole if funded by the central government for the use of community based organizations or citizens).
    • Goal is to invent disruptive strategies/policies/techonolgies for egalitarianism/inclusiveness/humanity/society, crisis/disaster management and sustainability.
  • 'Manufacturing Gateway' (SDG 9.2, 9.3) (Equipments needed by various essential sectors like Pharmacy & Healthcare, Food & Agriculture, Fuel & Energy, Water, Housing, Security, Dependee Goods) - Though we may not aspire/target for Industry 4.0/Industry 5.0 immediately we can connect all industrial & commercial enterprises including micro industries through essential manufacturing gateway to e-commerce ('Essential E-Commerce Gateway' in particular) to streamline flow of goods to downstream industries and final consumers. Manufacturing gateway should facilitate in better resource planning among colloborating industries. Manufacturing Informatics.
  • 'Mining Gateway' - Recycling should be encouraged to keep mining at minimum (minimizing material footprint through recycling?). Mining Informatics.
  • 'Dependee Goods & Services Gateway' or 'Maintainer Goods & Services Gateway' (Pharmacy & Healthcare, Food, Fuel & Energy, Water, Security, Waste, Agriculture, Manufacturing)
  • Food Gateway (SDG 2) -

    • Food Processing Gateway - food processing informatics (secondary sector, manufacturing)
  • 'Energy & Fuel Gateway' (SDG 7) - Renewable energy (solar, wind, biogas etc) technologies should encouraged. Energy/fuel informatics 1, oil & gas informatics.
  • 'Waste Disposal Gateway' (SDG 6 - sanitation) - Recycling is important. Waste Informatics 1.
  • 'Water Gateway' (SDG 6). Hydroinformatics or water informatics.
  • 'Mobility/Transportation Gateway' (SDG 9.1, 11.2) - during lockdown only essential transportation may be allowed.
    • 'Public Transportation Gateway' (not essential for biodisasters like Covid-19 but useful for maintaining essential service logistics using public transport), which will allow interoperability among public transport companies, Media Supply Chain, Sanitation Supply Chain 1 etc.

    • 'Justice Gateway' 1 2 3 4 5 6 (SDG 16, 5.1-5.3). Justice informatics or legal informatics.
    • 'Crisis & Risk Management Gateway' (SDG 1.5, 2.4, 11.5, 11.b, 13.1-13.3) 1 2 3 - should address all types of natural, man-made, hydrid, financial/economic, social, environmental etc disasters 1 2 3 4 5.
      • A framework similar to Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 2 at various governance levels.
      • Crisis informatics/Disaster informatics 3 - Indian/National/Central Institute of Disaster Management focused on natural & man-made disasters.
      • IoT based Integrated Disaster Management 1 2 3 4 5 6.
      • Disaster Analysis, Modeling, Simulation, Prediction tools
      • All essential gateways/enterprises should have disaster avoidance & management system developed with resilience as per their integrity level.
      • All ministries including external affairs, labour ministries have played crucial roles during Covid-19 lockdown crisis hence need to be a part of this gateway network as per their role at all levels of governance including centre, state & local governments. (War Rooms already discussed).
      • The government can share responsibility with social enterprises or community based organizations 1 2 through apps.
      • Volunteers and private enterprises should also be connected to the gateway.
      • Crisis & risk management apps can be developed for all types of enterprises.
      • And researchers should be able to provide innovative feed back by statistical analysis/research on collected data.
      • All essential goods and services enterprises (including ministries) should make use of Business Continuity Management & Disaster Recovery apps 1 2. Proper apps should also be made available to all MSMEs including micro industries. If such apps can be developed even for individuals as personal assistant apps then it would be great.
    • 'Climate & Life Gateway' (C&LG, should this be shortened as 'Life Gateway'?) (Environment Gateway) (SDGs 9.4, 12, 13, 14, 15) - climate/weather informatics 1 2 3 4 5 6, biodiversity informatics - climate & life computational models- This should be developed to fulfil SDGs Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life On Land & Responsible Consumption and Production. There is also a task of monitoring carbon dioxide & other pollutant emission levels , effluents released, solid waste generated by industrial and other enterprises (by interacting with manufacturing gateway, housing gateway etc and other non-essential sectors; though EGSG is not interested in non-essential sectors, those non-essential enterprises can use APIs provided by EGSG for automation just like UPI being used by every sector). Environment effects of real estate, industrial development including of clusters & corridors, environment cost, climate change cost, security cost, resources/transportation cost. Mostly Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) will take care of C&LG (anyway we will not decide which ministry has to take care of which goals here). Gateway will guard against Doughnut outer layer - Planetary boundaries 2 including Air Quality Index (AQI) (atmospheric aerosols 2) and generates notifications/alerts. 'Climate & Life Gateway' has to interoperate with other gateways importantly 'Agriculture Gateway', 'Urban/Rural Governance Gateway', 'Crisis & Risk Management Gateway' as lot of activities related to these gateways heavily dependent on climate & environment and also 'Health Gateway'.
    • 'Media Gateway' (SDG?) - Main stream media is considered to be an essential service. Media role is watchdog & suggestive actor. Media is a two edged sword (like political system) which can be used as a platform for political voice and for exploiting society by vested interests. Whole structure of media reporting as issues/incidences, actions, suggestive actions is already pictured in this thread. Media can use their own information, analyze through artificial intelligence, to suggest actions and create public awareness. Media informatics.
    • Electoral Gateway? - election commission?
  • 'Other Essential Services' as in 'Essential Services Maintenance Act'
  • 'Tourism Gateway' (8.9, 12.b, 14.7) - Government knowing availability rooms may help in meeting quaratine/treatment requirements during biocrisis like Covid-19. 'Hospitality Gateway' can be used for creating quarantine facilities and extra hospitals. For example, centralised bed allocation app (health gateway) can allocate these beds also. But tourism as such not encouraged during crisis. Stranded tourists anyway can use other essential services. But bigger questions to be answered are - Why tourism should be essential sector? Why SDG recognises tourism as an essential part of economy? Should tourism sector have business continuity plan during crisis? Tourism informatics. Sustainble tourism.
  • All essential services are available to non-essential goods & services.
  • Although reponsibilities can be shared it looks like Department of Planning and Statistics is reponsible for overall maintenance of data.
  • All gateways listed here (in general, entire GS Gateway) are virtual gateways. Gateways can overlap with each other. There can be multiple gateways by different vendors for each virtual gateway. In reality, apps or data can be anywhere. There should be interoperability among all types of essential sevices using or any technique including blockchain 1 2 3 4 5.
  • There is no need to physically separate out 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' from 'Goods & Services Gateway' but the government policies should ensure 100% reliable services all times including crisis by essential goods & services providers.
  • Electronic Goods & Services Records (EGSRs, e-GSRs) including Electronic Health Records (EHRs) should be portable across platforms. Goods & Services Layer 7 (GSL7) can be defined (by extending HL7) for all services in particular for essential goods & services (could be called EGSL7).

I have covered healthcare, crisis, research & innovation more thoroughly based on information I came across ignoring other sectors. And need to integrate at world level is also ignored. For example, how can an international traveller book taxis to/from airports in two countries for complete end to end travel covering all modes of transportation, how his data accessed in hospitals in the other countries through such a system is ignored. Unless things are standardized at international level this requirement may be difficult to achieve. (GSL7 is proposed in the above list)(Society 5.0 has plans to develop standards for world level integration).

'Research & Innovation Gateway' is under essential service. Our economics should be 'Innovation Economics' during a crisis like biodisaster as innovation & research important to overcome crisis. To reduce environmental burdens also we need innovations. And innovations could enable inclusiveness in a larger scale.

'BFSI Gateway' - All BFSI services (if not all EGSs) at a single location (say post office) would be a great configuration. We can wish for a single screen or single user interface to monitor all our financial status including bank accounts, bonds/shares, insurance policy payment status, water/electricity/gas payment status (a business tychoon may like to delegate responsibilty to secretary), home/vehicle & other loan payment status, PFI accounts etc. But should be done after carefully studying cyber security risks. Here I am not asking for any artificial intelligence based personal finance assistant apps but can be integrated with price options. One more thing we can wish for is personal budgeting apps. What I wish is government to transfer money to poor through digital food voucher/wallet and households/schools/orphanages to purchase food items as per their preferences but government should check things like nutritional values and the app should allow only pourchases based on conditions imposed by the government. Apart from this, e-stamping (like e-sign) can be used for demonetization of higher denomination currency notes which are not in circulation for a long time by developing a device (to be used in banks) or mobile app (camera to read note number; note validation in every transaction) to track currency note number (probably useful for tracing counterfeit currency also) before moving towards full-fledged cashless economy.

As such, for achieving inclusiveness, all essential goods and services are neccessary but 'Inclusive Essential Services Gateway' identifies special services needed by vulnerable sections of society. Along with special inclusive services they also need some 'special inclusive goods' 1 2 3 4 that should also be part of essential primary sector (essential farming, essential mining), essential secondary sector (essential manufacturing), essential tertiary sector (essential supply chain, essential e-commerce).

Two of the subjects namely, urban planning and agriculture I wish to cover in detail later.

Portability of Electronic Goods & Services Records (EGSRs, e-GSRs, e-goods & services records) including e-commerce redords (ECRs, e-CRs) and e-health records (EHRs, e-HRs) should help in development of many kind of personal assistants. For example, one can easily change charted accountant services if personal financial records are portable (assuming no manipulations; anyway darkweb is available for manipulations) or portable beauty services records help in moving across beauty services providers easily. This should also help in development of many kind of personal/self assistant/service/care apps.

What is the role of non-essential Goods & Services infrastructure during crisis? Many non-essential services can be asked to provide/help essential services during crisis for example information technology.

We are trying to develop a closed loop open system 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 were chaotic/stochastic/indeterministic complex dynamic real world (of physical, social, institutional, economic space) model in cyber space (simulational/computational model 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19) - AI based semi-automatic control 1 2 3 - learns & adapts itself to new issues/incidences in real world through feed backs enabling better predictive abilities to take next actions. Lessons can be learnt, information & best practices can be shared with each other by enterprises. Anyway, 'National Enterprise' will just collect data, create information and then derive knowledge from it and supplies that knowledge to humans to take final decisions/actions (human wisdom)(we are ignoring automated actions through data-driven cyber-physical systems as our 'GS Gateway' is limited to people and enterprise interactions initially except in a few hazardous/critical cases). (--???So initially, most of data may be collected manually from the fields and fed to the system without affecting job scenario much???--). All enterprises including government will use field data for evidence-based policy making.

Unified EGS Interface should be developed in a way similar to Unified Payment Interface and Unified Healthcare Interface (HL7). Whether to develop at a global level (like HL7) is an issue of Globalization x Localization. We may need National Goods & Services Corporation of India (NGSCI) either similar to National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) or NPCI itself can be promoted as NGSCI. For example, Citizens, Healthcare Service Providers (Hospitals, Clinics) and Healthcare Platform Providers (Jio, Amazon?) should be able to interact with each other through Unified Healthcare Interface (UHI) seamlessly. Of course, Unified Health Gateway/Platform has to interact with BFSI (more interfaces may be required in addition to UPI) and other goods & services platforms/gateways. In general, Citizens, EGS Service Providers and EGS Platform Providers should be able to interact seamlessly through EGS platforms/gateways. India Stack2 3 plays an important role towards development of of 'GS Gateway' or 'National Enterprise Software'. 'National Enterprise Software' should be our first step towards Society 5.0 or Industry 5.0. We should be able to adopt Industry 5.0 without having the burden of disposing off legacy system of Industry 4.0.

'Essential Goods & Services' is the least acceptable degraded state of 'Goods & Services' economy during a crisis. No failure mode should degrade 'Essential Goods & Services Enterprise' below a specified level. So, 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' based system should be disaster recoverant, resilient enabled with backups, replication, redundancy, diversity, security and other fault tolerance features 2 3 4 5 (fault avoidance/preventive/removal techniques are prefered instead of too much defensive programming, i.e., remove faults/faultlines in the system - can try formal methods 2 3 4 5 6 and even with AI 1 2 3) including in non-software/electronics system architecture/design. As posted earlier 'Essential Supply Chain' should be 'biohazard resilient' to tackle situation like Covid-19. Biohazard resilience with biosafety features can be built into system by usage of cyber-physical-systems/mechatronics/robotics/drones 1 2 to minimize social interactions. But from any automation we should be able to easily fallback to manual mode whenever there is shortage of automation gadgets or skilled operators or due to any other hindering cause. Resilience & security of essential supply chain should ensure essential securities like food security, water security, energy security, healthcare security, social security etc under crisis. We will talk about environmental security ('society security' ensured by 'earth 2 security' - doughnut economics) needs in smartcity project thread later.

What we are trying here is to achieve maximum interactions through gateways (enterprise platforms) and robots/cyber-physical-systems so that social interactions are minimized. In addition, there will also be facilities like video conferencing 1 2, audio conferencing, chatroom suites etc built into the system. Along with this IoT/IoP/5G/Edge/Fog computing technology can be used for all essential services - Smart e-Health Gateway: Bringing intelligence to Internet-of-Things based ubiquitous healthcare systems. And IoT/5G can be used for many more things including for sewage based detective works - Tracking sewage to surveil COVID-19, wearables 1 2 etc. To use IoT/5G we need mobile and internet services to be an essential service - ICEA seeks inclusion of mobile phones, laptops in essential services list, Telcos warn of full service breakdown in virus hotspots. Of course, if mobile is not essential service then Aarogya Setu, Sahyog & other apps needing them will be useless. so we need a robust, dependable telecom service to all. All these measures will lead us towards biohazard resilience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has many uses in heathcare 1 2 3 and all other essential services. AI can be used for 'Propagation Analysis, Prediction & Mitigation', 'Risk Assessment in Healthcare', "Disease Diagnosis' and entire Health Informatics.

Along with healthcare, Artificial Intelligence based Data Science can be used in supply chain also Covid-19: Software firms sharpen focus on AI, big data as IT spending drops.

Although AI, Mechatronics/Robotics, IoT, 5G can be used in MSME (COVID-19 | Disruptive tech and SME innovation can boost the fight against the virus, Leveraging Smart Tech Can Help India Create Efficient Crisis Management System: Reports, Industry 4.0 2 3 4) & Constuction sector in large scale we have also a worry of jobloss. Imagine automizing entire 'Goods & Services' stuff! How many jobs will be generated and lost? Unless we come up with a income scheme for everyone even after automation/robotization/AIization, our economic policies should favour automation only of 'Essential Goods & Services' sector for the time being and in that too more focus should be on automating healthcare services 1. Healthcare sector needs Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) like GIFT city to take care of hazardous waste. Of course, there are exceptions for automation like quaternary sector IT and R&D, 'Dependee Goods & Services' which we included as essential service. Man is a social animal, so depressed anxious society may be a result of automation & social distancing. And world is going back to walking, cycling for health & environmental reasons. Let us be more conscious about automation & don't go for it without studying its effects & planning properly. Technology is two edged sword, right usage may help in generating employment and contributing to economic growth. Human rights 1 will also be an issue while adopting technolgy.

If we can integrate social media with 'SME enterprise platform' why not 'news'? 'news' can be used like it is done here for tracking any issues related to business and taking decisions. And many more things can be integrated. For example, archiving of video conference with minutes of meeting if have enough storage space. What is the storage space we are targetting for and how much energy is required for operating data centres?

Essential Goods & Services are mostly infrastructure segments (institutional infrastructure, physical infrastructure, social infrastructure, economic infrastructure and then legal infrastructure if you separate it out from social infrastructure) prioritized under 100 Smart City project with a few exceptions like education during biocrisis like Covid-19; but online education can be considered as essential service.

Also, Essential Goods & Services are mostly to fulfil goals identified as SDGs. They are also whatever needed to be inside doughnut 1 2 3 4 5.
Doughnut x SDG mapping

We have earlier traced SDGs to EGS gateways. Below is a crude traceability matrix of Doughnut Economics goals to SDGs.
  • Food - SDG2 Zero Hunger, SDG12.3 (food loss/waste)
  • Health - SDG3 Good Health & Well-Being
  • Education - SDG4 Quality Education
  • Income & Work - SDG1 No Poverty, SDG8 Decent Work & Economic Growth (Doughnut Economics does not rely on Economic Growth)
  • Water - SDG6 Clean Water & Sanitation
  • Energy - SDG7 Affordable & Clean Energy
  • Networks - SDG9.c, SDG5.b?, SDG17.8 - not clear on illustrative indicator 'someone to count on for help in times of trouble'. Distress relief & grievance redressal monitoring system, 1?, community help?
  • Housing - SDG11.1 Cities and Human Settlements - affordable housing and basic services, silent on rural housing requirements
  • Gender Equality - SDG5 - SDG does not target income gap
  • Political Voice - SDG5.5 (women participation), SDG10.2 (political inclusion)? - voice & accountability index?
  • Peace & Justice - SDG16 Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions - corruption perceptions index?, homicide rate?
  • Social Equality - SDG10 Reduced Inequalities
  • Ozone Layer Depletion (stratospheric ozone concentration) - SDG Climate Action (13.2.2 greenhouse gas emission)
  • Cimate Change (atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration or increase in radiative forcing) - SDG Climate Action (13.2.2 greenhouse gas emission)
  • Ocean Acidification (calcium carbonate in surface seawater) - SDG Climate Action (13.2.2 greenhouse gas emission)
  • Biodiversity Loss (extinction rate) - SDG15 Life on Land (Aichi
    biodiversity targets
    ), SDG14 Life Below Water (SDG14 is thorough enough? talks only about fishes?)
  • Land Conversion (Land use) - SDG15 Life on Land (15.1-15.5)
  • Nitrogen & Phosphorus Loading (biogeochemical) - ?
  • Fresh Water Withdrawals - SDG6.4, SDG3.9.2?
  • Chemical Pollution - SDG12, SDG6.3?, SDG14.1?, SDG3.9?
  • Air Pollution (atmospheric aerosols) - SDG3.9.1?
Nations individually can not control planetary boundaries directly. SDG aims to control planetary boundaries by addressing causes or leading indicators, so nations have to reach an agreement to keep the cause indicators within a limit. The cause of ozone layer depletion, cimate change, ocean acidification is controlled by monitoring greenhouse gas emission level (a leading KPI). Material footprint, deforestation/desertification indicators etc are the other leading KPIs SDG uses to control environmental side effects. Doughnut economics though mentions SDGs 17 and many more subgoals/targets of SDG it does not specify any target/KPI. Doughnut is agnostic on GDP but SDG is not (SDG wants to monitor material footprint meaning goods cosumed by nation so service sector can grow unhindered - how may be a policy/design issue - can 'experience economy' the way for economic growth in future?). Both talk about unemployment. Doughnut mentions inflation, SDG talks only on food price volatility (SDG 2.c) but not essential goods & services inflation/deflation as a whole may be by assuming other requirements like no-poverty, healthy-lives will address it indirectly (should we worry about unemployment caused by price volatility of non-essential sectors? crisis may not be severe if non-essential goods & services industry is insignificant.).
Cloud technology 'Essential Goods & Services as a Service' (EGSaaS)(should this be called as Essential Enterprise as a Service nesting inside District/State/National Enterprise?) to be in synchronization with doughnut economy (should be 'sharing economy' 2 as both service providers & users are supposed to share most of things)(focusing on 'service economy' if not 'experience economy' or 'transformation economy') & SDG should consists of parts listed below.

The name 'Essential Goods & Services as a Service' (EGSaaS) has the word 'service' repeated two times. For resolving this we should imagine 'Goods & Services' as a single word replacing X in 'X as a Service' (XaaS) or 'Everything as a Service' 2 3 in the context of cloud technolgy. The cloud technology we are talking here not limited to cloud computing digital services like IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, DaaS, NaaS, SECaaS, DRaaS, EaaS, CaaS, AIaaS etc but includes Manufacturing as a Service, Farming as a Service etc listed below. A few other things like MBaaS, IoTaaS/TaaS will also be part of cloud. But we do't know how many of these service platforms available in market currently are non-monopolistic, interoperale, open, scalable adhering to spirit of cloud computing. For seamless mobility all modes of transportation has to be interoperable. For example, air traffic management system interoperability is important for interagency airspace cordination; a similar type of system is needed for all kind of autonomous/non-autonomous vehicle control management for seamless mobility. Same is the case in other types of cloud services like farming as a service, manufacturing as a service etc. Openness makes it easy to add technological innovation based enterprises to the cloud network.

Enterprise as a Service or Business as a Service
  • Healthcare as a Service (HaaS) 1 2
  • BFSI as a Service - Banking as a service (BaaS) 2, Finance as a Service 2, Insurance as a Service 2
  • Commerce as a Service 1 2 or Cloud E-Commerce 1 2 (Sales as a Service, Marketing as a Service) - limited to essential goods during crisis.
  • Inclusive Essential Services as a Service
  • Research & Innovation as a Service (or R&D as a Service)
  • Manufacturing as a Service or Production as a Service or Cloud Manufacturing
  • Food as a Service (FaaS) 1 - Instead of just addressing catering services it should also address entire supply chain from farmer to home kitchen. It can include Farming as a Service 1 2 (FaaS, Cloud Farming) 1 of inclusive nature giving stress to organic farming.
  • Mining as a Service
  • Dependee Goods & Services as a Service
  • Energy as a Service (EaaS) 1 2 3 4 -
  • Waste Disposal as a Service
  • Water as a Service (WaaS) 1 2 3
  • Mobility as a Service (Maas) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (relevant 89 10) - Mobility is needed for income & work, networks (for establishing & maintaining social networks) etc.
  • Police Cloud 1 2 3
  • Justice as a Service - Justice as a Service is not currently defined as what we want here (but computerization is going on With nod from judiciary, Karnataka Police striving for e-production of accused before courts).
  • Defense Cloud 1 2 3 4. Mostly a private cloud. I think since none of defense clouds under development are interoperable they are monopolized by a single vendor.
  • Housing as a Service (HaaS)
  • Education as a Service (EaaS) 1 or Education Cloud 1
  • Human Resource as a Service (HRaaS) 1 2 or Human Resource Cloud 1 2
  • Government as a Service (GaaS) 1 2 3
  • Crisis Management as a Service - This could be a part of Government as a Service (GaaS) and in addition responsibility can be shared with social enterprises.
  • Climate & Life as a Service (CLaaS) 1. (Environment as a Service has a different meaning in cloud computing hence a different name)
  • Other Essential Services as a Service
  • Most of the cloud services are through public or hybrid clouds except for a few.

Manufacturing as a Service or Cloud Manufacturing has high scope in Healthcare, Agro Processing and Ancillary sectors. If we can connect all MSME including micro industries to MaaS network it would be a great achievement as more people are empowered with technolgy.

We may think of how other things of doughnut economics work as a service including 'income & work', 'peace & justice', 'political voice', 'networks', 'social equality', 'gender equality'. Of course cloud computing should help a lot in building networks, income & work for each individual & enterprise. Political voice, networks is possible through social media (Social Media as a Service) and 'Digital Social Entrepreneurship'. Of course this platform will create opportunity for income & work if everyone is literate enough to use it. The platform as such is both capitalist and socialist. Capitalist because it encourages entrepreneurship. Socialist because it provide opportunity to everyone to become entrepreneur with a bit of help from government - this is also because of inclusive platform integrated to it.

Metrics/KPIs - For 'Goods & Services cloud' the metrics need to be developed similar to computing cloud. QoS for 'Goods & Services cloud' need to be developed similar to computing cloud. The metrics may be more stringent than computing cloud, for example, affordability is very important for inclusiveness. Availability of Essential Goods & Services should be very very high as it is least acceptable state of Goods & Services under all types of degradation. Hence SLA can not be degraded below a certain limit. Goods & Services as a service, for example, farming as a service means all assets & equipments associated with farming can be offered as a service. For example, when tiller is offered as a service tiller's QoS factors like availability, maintainability are important factor. Another example is Rolls-Royce Jet Propulsion-as-a-Service 1 in aviation sector. Other important set of metrics apart from QoS is SDG indicators. Doughnut economics' outer ring metrics are another set of important metrics. Many others have also identified metrics like climate change metrics 1 2 3. For inclusiveness, whether emission limit of a nation has to depend upon population is a question to be asked. In a bigger sense, should material footprint limit of a nation be in proportion to population is the question. Definitely for any enterprise it is important to monitor metrics while they offer goods & services. For example a enterprise adopting renewable energy (solar, wind, biogas etc), rain harvesting should get additional points. For farming as a service, organic metrics x inorganic agrochemicals (SDG2.4.1 Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture) is important. SDG also addresses others like groundwater depletion (6.4.2 Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources), soil degradation (SDG15.3.1 Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area).

On environmental front doughnut economics has a bigger goal than SDG but it does not define any KPI. If we want to model on doughnut economy then corresponding environment related KPIs are to be adopted from other sources to supplement SDG prescribed environmental KPIs like material footprint (8.4, 12.2) etc. We need KPIs for achieving planetary boundaries. What has to be achieved at global level is here - Planetary boundaries 2 3. India has its own Air Quality Index (AQI) standards but not for other planetary boundaries. SDG does not define these KPIs for all planetary boundaries. (Doughnut Economy KPI 1; Water Pollution - Index of biological integrity?).

Crisis KPIs/Indicators are listed in SDG. Indicators like life loss, economic loss due to crisis - overall or crisiswise like biocrisis/flood/landslide/seaerosion/earthquake/drought/industrial disaster - are useful 1. And enterprises at different levels can monitor other KPIs 1 2 suitable for their business for crisis prevention and control. Planning against crisis is needed at national & world level (planned x free market).

We can define integrity levels for goods & services similar to safety integrity levels (SIL 3) in domains like medical, aerospace, railways, automotive etc. Main two 'Goods & Services Integrity Levels (GSILs)' are essential and non-essential. Essential (even non-essential) can be further divided into different integrity levels (even within a vertical). For example, considering biocrisis resulting in lockdown, public transportation or education can have a integrity level of lesser importance compared to medical services (for biocrisis handling these levels may be subclassified similar to biosafety level for biological integrity). Least acceptable degradable state should have highest GSIL hence needs maximum resilience or risk reduction/mitigation measures. In other words, Quality of Services (QoS) needed by a service depend upon the requisite Goods & Services Integrity Level (GSIL) 1 2. Higher is the GSIL more stringent is the SLA. The GSILs should ensure we don't fall below the inner ring (social foundation boundary) of Doughnut Economics. Online education, works, social network etc are alternatives during crisis like Covid-19 which require prolonged lockdown. But even these may not be available during disasters like flood, earthquake hence we have to come up with better disaster avoidance techniques (disaster resilience) against these kind of disasters to ensure integrity of services. Apart from this GSIL does not interfere with SILs of any sector; i.e. for example, automotive/mobility sector irrespective of technology like Mobility as a Service still may continue to use standards like ISO 26262 for identifying ASIL within automotive sector. Even Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) can be explored for containment of risks within regional boundaries (protection layers)(self-reliant regions) as a protection measure against global crisis & globalization of crisis.

It is already proven that 'commons are tragedy' is a false narrative. Highest GSIL sectors should preferably under government & common (collaborative commons, community based organizations, unorganized) control 1 to a maximum extent to ensure fair play. Government & common control on Goods & Services should be decreasing in the order of highest, moderate to lowest GSIL. And as central government is already planning for EGS security and to increase its hold on essential sectors by having a public/government company in each essential sector we may see this happening in near future inspite of all privatization works going on now.

In case a country prefers to automate/robotize/AIize every sector of goods & services without any GSIL differentiation to a highest integrity level (at a high cost; resulting in a higher environmental cost; without caring for jobloss) then also there is problem in tourism, ceremonial catering, performing arts (including cinema) etc where people can not consume (assuming servicing can be automated) without violating social distancing norms hence there is two partitions of goods & services namely essential and non-essential.

Even systems simulation/computational models (for healthcare already listed) based on system theories can be made available through EGS Gateway so that enterprise policies can be formed, actions can be taken, targets can be fixed, crises managed and then models can be corrected based on deviations. (As such SDG has already fixed target for 2030). I think in this way AI powered analytics can be made available to all types of enterprises inclusively. Should elected representatives track their performance? What about individuals' performance?

We have talked about self-reliant regions, because of localization of most of essential supply chain of such regions material footprint of supply chain will also reduce due to lesser fuel needs for transportation (we can call this fuel footprint which in turn reduce material/carbon footprint). Currently if you take Karnataka as an example, one city is almost consuming more than 75% of raw materials & producing almost that amount of products of Karnataka leading to bad transportational fuel footprint. Along with this shifting of production from sources of demand (demand region/point) to sources of supply (supply region/point) for many goods may also result in lesser fuel footprint and lesser migrant worker issues. Of course, inventory waste avoidance, demand chain management & experience economy supported by techniques like 3D printing may favour production at source of demand. This is why we have to bring source of demand and source of supply together (localization - mixedmode, walk-to-shop/work etc)(of course, trading with others needed for goods & services not available locally/economically) as much as possible through proper population distribution as posted earlier in 'Indian Smart Cities and villages projects' thread. And Society 5.0 supports 'autonomous decentralized cities' ('Symbiotic autonomous decentralized system' spanning within city)(Andhra Pradesh has taken an appreciable step to develop decentralized capital city spanning across state) and Cyber Space enabled Information & Knowledge sharing. Hope migrant workers will get opportunity to work-at-town/region at least if not work-from-home (I have already posted about home industries of organic economy). Hope the economy will reach its equilibrium state of resource, industry and population distribution overcoming all political favourism influenced by real estate mafia. Till this economic equilibrium state is reached country is going to suffer from many more crises influenced by this issue (I think that should be the conclusion of AI brain of National Enterprise unless manipulated by the real estate mafia).

And Society 5.0? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23. It seems like Society 5.0 is a combination of so many advanced concepts/technologies like industry 5.0, material 5.0 (quantum material?, smart material?), management 5.0 (sociocracy/holacracy + management 4.0 + SDG + government 5.0 ++)(government is also considered as a business enterprise here in this post), web 5.0, human 2.0/humanity 2.0/Transhumanism 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11/12/13/14, health/medicine 5.0, emotional intelligence 2.0, economy 5.0, literacy/education 4.0/5.0?, retail 5.0 etc. Society 5.0 is a combination of many types of economies like experience & transformation economy (creative society), doughnut economy, sharing/collaborative economy, recycling/circular economy along with SDGs. Society 5.0 tries to address 'ageing population', 'environmental degradation', 'climate change', 'inequality' (inclusiveness) and many more crises. Supports super smartness, autonomous driving, autonomous decentralized cities, robotization (cobots), personalization (x mass production; experience economy), collaboration (co-planning, co-design, co-construction; sharing economy), on-demand economy etc. India does not have 'ageing population' issue as severe as Japan but have a severe issue of 'inequality', 'unemployment'. As such Society layer is a layer below outer most Earth layer of Doughnut Model. Earth 5.0 could have been a more appropriate name considering its keeness to addess environmental issues along with social issues embedding economy model within system model of earth. Anyway, irrespective of Industry 5.0/Society 5.0 basic skeleton of 'Essential Goods & Services Gateway' will remain same.

Society 5.0 needs all data (except may be defense & security) to be made available to citizen transparently. How much transparent is India? We are still struggling with RTI act. When will we move to a stage when all information will be available at finger tips of any citizen without RTI application? If people know the reasons behind administrative decisions (crisis avoidance strategies) they will cooperate (if they have adequate educational skills to understand things) with each other to create a better society but corrupt political system does not encourage transparency.

Of course, there is paradox of utilizing maximum resources for essential goods & services and automation of essential goods & services which affect employment opportunities. Though Society 5.0 stresses on automation of service-oriented economy it hopes to generate jobs through customization of products (experience/transformation economy). What I think is FMCG sector will still continue with mass production of goods using productionlines/assemblylines and whatever customization/personalization, other than service, has to happen is in durable goods sector through additive manufacturing technology (3D/4D printing as per user specification/design). Only a few of high class magalomaniac society may opt for daily customization of FMCG goods. I don't think raw material (coming through primary sector i.e., mining & agriculture) consumption at household scale to produce goods at kitchen & garage (exception is cooking) is a very remote possibility. Whether secondary sector (manufacturing) plant location should be near supply point or demand point will still remain a question of optimization of supply/demand chain. ???And cloud technology will enable backend support service sector to be anywhere???.

If our goal is to robotize entire service-oriented economy (primary, secondary, tertiary all are automated) then we have to have a prior-plan to move towards experience-oriented economy/society through education (skill development) i.e. transformation-oriented education should be prioritized. For example, cloud education can be proritized to enable quicker learning. We can complete our digitalization goals on Industry 3.0 platform itself before moving toward Industry 4.0 and-then/or Society 5.0. Our worry is what are the features of Society 5.0 we can adapt without compromising on 4e (4e - employment, environment, energy, equitability (economic parity, inclusiveness); of course, this should be goal of society 5.0 itself). Or 3e (environment, energy, equitability) if we are not worried about employment assuming everything is automated including experience/transformation sectors of economy (Is this possible through AI?). Still we may not have understood what is happiness - Happiness Economy (Society QoL) 2.

It is predicted that 20% of world energy will be spent on data centres & digital technology in near future. And then there is also a question of how much energy is needed by other electronic gadgets. If we want digital technolgy to plan, govern and revive economy & environment then this setup itself needs huge amount of energy. So, restoring environment through digital means may end up in further degradion of it as extra energy is needed by data centres & other digital installations. Hence, stress is on renewable energy (nuclear energy is neither renewable energy nor clean energy though considered as green energy as it does not result in green house gases) and energy efficiency devices & technologies in not only digital sector but also in every other sector. Stuffs like optimized demand-chain management ('Demand-derived goods & services' or 'On demand goods & services') along with smart homes/building/city, super smart nation, smart grid, perzonalized lighting 1 2, personalized/wearable airconditioning/climatization 1 2, personalization of services (for example, bus or shared vehicles scheduling 1 2), perzonalization of products, anonymous analysis etc may lead to further energy efficiency.

Here is simplified version of enterprise architecture layers with society sitting at the top. Society means you, me and other human beings & lives (except anti-humans like SARS-Cov-2 ). Of course, all layers are not compulsory and hence though marked for SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) it can just be DCS (Distributed Control System). And an enterprise can be just an enterprise without any of manufacturing or much of operational infrastructure. What is important is people and enterprises should be able to interact digitally with each other over internet (B2B, B2I, I2B, I2I).

  • M2P & P2M (M2H & H2M) (Machine to People/Humans & People/Humans to Machine)
For the time being, we will ignored stuffs like A2P P2P and IoA ( Internet of Abilities) as augmented human is a far off dream. Out of all IoX (Internet of Anything) if we just consider IoI and IoB (or IoE). We have addressed B2B, I2B & B2I, I2I through ESG Gateway. Hence at initial stage of ESG Gateway we will not give much priority to standardize cloud interface at different IoT/IoP layers. There are issues of M2M, M2B & B2M, M2P & P2M, like who should supply interface platform, which also can be addressed at a later stage. Still, critical essential services like healthcare should opt to standardize these interfaces also as it needs them to deliver services safely.

Here are a few quotes from websites on robotization, artificial intelligence effects & applications.

Industry 5.0: Collaborative Robotics, Mass Personalization, Productivity, And A New Relationship Between Man And Machine
Quote:
New Job Creation

The modern-day fear of robots replacing humans in the workplace is one that is deep-seated, but largely speculative. Collaborative robots give manufacturing floor workers the opportunity to continue operating in their roles, with a reduction in the dirty, dangerous, and dull tasks they need to carry out. Training and education in how to program, operate, and maintain a new fleet of robotic workers value-add to their already critical and difficult to replace skill sets.
Role of Humans in Industry 5.0
Quote:
Contrary to the assumption that people would lose jobs to AI, studies show different statistics. The future technologies are estimated to contribute to the expansion of the global manufacturing workforce by up to 4% by 2030 from the present 1.2 billion people.The supply chain management across industries would also become more agile and innovative due to increased investments in R&D, intelligent sales and marketing, distribution, and reduce the price for the value delivered.
Role of Humans in Industry 5.0
Quote:
Industry 5.0 is set to focus on the return of human hands and minds into the industrial framework.

Industry 5.0 is the revolution in which man and machine reconcile and find ways to work together to improve the means and efficiency of production.
In healthcare sector, to overcome occupational hazards including biohazards cyber-physical systems (medical monitoring, medical robots including robotic nurses 2) can be used but should be monitored remotely by doctors and nurses. Cybernics also has good scope in medical treatments 1 2.

In manufacturing sector, to overcome occupational hazards (ergonomic hazards, psychosocial hazards, biological hazards, chemical hazards, physical hazards, electrical hazards, fire & exposion hazards etc) including RSI/MSD, smart exoskeletons 1 2 can be used after studying their benefits & risks 1 2 3 4.

From inclusiveness point of view smart exoskeletons 2 3 4 5 not only empower disabled through personalization. MBaaS can enhance translational capabilities of mobile phones into languages understood by disabled persons. If technolgy can provide solution to these type of issues - New ‘Theppa’ revives the hopes of Malekudiyas - it would be great.

From crisis management point of view exoskeletons are useful for frontline disaster workers like firefighters. Cyber-physical systems like drones, cobots cab be used in risky search & rescue operations.

And I think, 'Education Cloud' is going to accelrate learning in a bigway paving a faster path for moving towards society 5.0.

Here are links to some of developments happening in India on technological front.

To summarize again, as such Society 5.0 goals are same as SDGs (with a stress on ageing population of Japan). There may be some additional KPIs to the one specified by SDG. SDG mapping is shown in page 14-19 of Society 5.0: Co-creating the future. In Society 5.0 for interaction between physical space and cyber space ... IoT are used extensively. In our case 'Cyber Space' is nothing but one through 'Goods & Services Gateway'. 'Physical Space' which is real world includes physical infrastructure, economic infrastructure, social infrastructure, institutional infrastructure and life & environment of earth. We are mainly interested in enterprises and people and their interactions. So, for the initial phase, we are interested in 'B2B', 'B2I'/'I2B' interactions only, not other interactions of Society 5.0 like M2M, M2B & B2M, M2P & P2M except in a few critical/hazardous domains (highest GSIL (|/&SIL?)) like healthcare to avoid biocrisis and disaster management to avoid natural/industrial disasters. Yet we can use 'Artificial Intelligence (AI)' to find solutions to all problems which lead to crisis. In other words, AI can be used for all kinds of crisis avoidance (including social, institutional, economic, physical crises avoidance).

So, to start with, our Enterprise Cloud (National Enterprise facilitated through Goods & Services Gateway) will be sitting between Industry 3.0 and Society 5.0 (Industry 5.0) but not Industry 4.0. We have to evolve to Society 5.0 from Industry 3.0 or whatever we are in now bypassing Industry 4.0 (as Industry 4.0 will result in a lot of economic crisis in a country like ours).

------Society 5.0-------

========================

We have to evolve towards Society 5.0 or beyond from wherever we are now without facing any crisis. Hence, 'GS Gateway' development also follows an evolutionay 1 2 3 4 5 path with crisis avoidance strategies. Only difference from natural evolution is that artificial intelligence will help us in generating evolutionary model in cyber space. (IndiaStack already is in evolutionary path). The question is if any severe crisis occurs due to faults in computational model we should be able to fallback easily to a previous state with less crisis. India's evolutionary path to society 5.0 should also be like Japan though our goals are limited in the begining. We have to discuss, write research articles, books, create awareness etc before developing the system itself.

Scope of "Atal Institute of Innovation Informatics" suggested by me (Mangalore cityscapes, Projects page #13 post #247) can be extended to track innovations and their contribution to economic growth, employment generation (job loss x new job generation) & skill needs to adopt technology. One of the goal of institute should be to assess new technologies for benefits, limitations, hazards, contribution to inclusiveness, crisis avoidance, material footprint, carbon footprint etc before recommending for use. The institute can offer its services as a part of 'Research & Innovation Gateway' (Research & Innovation as a Service Cloud) integrated with CBO Incubation and Startup India setup of mentors/investors/accelrators/corporates/incubators.

Also, we need to undestand more about experience 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 & transformation 1 2 3 4 economy before moving towards total automation of product/service-oriented economy. What are implication of experience on environment & inclusiveness? At what cost of environment, experience is generated? How it affects inclusiveness? 'Research & Innovation Gateway' goal is to achieve better crisis management, inclusiveness & environment but may not be for better experience as such. But many people were facing problems of isolation, depression during Covid-19 lockdown. So, it could be useful to deliver as much as suitable psycologically helpful experience & transformation at home itself to overcome effects of isolation & mental strain.

National Enterprise should be able to provide all essential services inclusively to every citizen. Our financial & monetary policies should enable the inclusive nature of essential services. For example, high tax on luxury goods & services which consume a lot of otherwise inclusive resources (to achieve SDG 8.4 decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, SDG 12.2 sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources targets - "Material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP"). Only a fool can advice of uniform GST rate for everything to create scarcity of essential goods and services. And there are more of them waiting in queue who think India able to conserve biodiversity because of its culture, ethos to be with nature. We will talk more on GST, freight equalisation etc while discussing globalization x localization.

For the time being, the goal of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' should be to achieve better 'Essential Goods & Services Security (EGS Security)' or 'Essential Goods & Services Sustainability (EGS Sustainability)' at all times including crisis like biodisater (secure if & only if sustainable). EGS Security should ensure minimum income security to everyone inclusively at all times under every crisis including disaster or war. It may be useful to interoduce some kind of 'lockdown insurance' or 'crisis insurance' for non-essential & essential goods & service providing organized/unorganized workers who may lose job during crisis/lockdown but government decision on lockdown may be influenced by private insurance companies. 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' needs 'Technological Security' in at least EGS sectors (Of course, many open source commons are available to every country now itself enabling self-reliance but may not be sufficient). The self-reliant India should master all tehnological arenas needed by EGS. Availability, resilience of EGS should be important. 'EGS Secure India' could be achieved by having around 100-200 'EGS secure' or 'EGS self-reliant' regions in India. 'EGS self-reliant/self-sufficient' regions should produce about 70% of EGS within the region. 'EGS Secure India' may have to produce 90%-99% EGS goods & services within India. For the time being it seems like globalization or trade with other countries should be limited to non-essential sectors; but, it may also mean eat Indian apple instead of American apple during crisis though from environmental point of view this is prefered all times. We can talk more about this and other pros & cons while discussing globalization x localization issues later.

We have already talked about 'Design For Recycling' & Inclusiveness. 'Doughnut Economics' captures it in a better way through 'Design to Regenerate' and 'Create to Distribute' (for example, through 'commons' - community based organizations). Our 'Design For Sustainability (Design For Crisis Avoidance/Prevention)' list expands as follows for 'Smart India' or 'Super Smart India' (what we will be promised in the next election? Smart India or Super Smart India or Superpower India?)(the list below follows same classification of infrastucture as done in 100 smart city proposal - physical, social, economic, institutional with a few minor additions)
  • Design For Environmental Sustainability - sustainability of natural infrastructure - Doughnut Economics 'Design to Regenerate' - natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones, floods, landslides, draughts, sea erosions, forest fires), man-made disasters (planetary boundaries, groundwater contamination, marine oil spills, material spills, fires, explosions, transportation/mining/industrial accidents, structure failures, mining accidents, acts of terrorism). 1.
  • Design For Human Sustainability - personal infrastructure or human capital - over population (population explosion), under population/depopulation, migration crisis, aging population, unskilled/uneducated population crisis (if does not have enough resources to feed essential goods & services to every human being).
  • Design For Social Sustainability - includes Doughnut Economics 'Create to Distribute' for finance & 'Design to Regenerate' for material infrastucture - rumours, conflicts/riots/strikes/violences, ethnic/linguistic/religious/regional confrontations, xenophobia, education crisis (learning crisis 1, teaching crisis 1, educational infrastructure crisis, educational service delivery crisis), healthcare crisis 1 2 3 (biological disasters, medical staff crisis, healthcare infrastructure crisis, healthcare supply chain crisis, service delivery crisis).
  • Design For Economic/Financial Sustainability - includes Doughnut Economics 'Create to Distribute' for financial infrastructure & 'Design to Regenerate' for industrial raw materials & material infrastucture - sustainability of economic infrastructure - general economic crises (recession, stagflation, depression, collapse - price deflation/inflation, unemployment, financial crises, stock market crash, bank failures), industrial crises (industrial disasters 1 2, technoloical crisis 1 2, worker strikes/confrontations 1 2 & lockdowns, malevolence 1, organizational misdeeds 1, bankruptcy 1). speculative finance. Sustainable manufacturing with efficient manufacturing waste management 1 2 3 4.
  • Design For Physical Sustainability - includes Doughnut Economics 'Create to Distribute' for financial infrastructure & 'Design to Regenerate' for material infrastucture - sustainability of physical/material infrastructure - sustainable mobility or public/non-motorised/multi-mode/electrified transportation with transit-oriented development, sustainable housing or green buildings, localized transactions (mixed-mode developmet, walk to shop/school/work), sustainable materials, sustainable water management, sustainable sewarage/sanitation/drainage & waste management 1 2 3 4.
  • Design For Institutional Sustainability - sustainability of institutional infrastructure - political crisis (constitutional crisis, law and order crisis), judiciary crisis.
  • Design For Energy Sustainability - energy crisis 2 3 4 - energy security - renewable energy, energy efficient devices/machines/buildings 1, energy conservation/sufficiency 1 2 3.
  • Design For Agricultural Sustainability - agricultural/agrarian/food-chain crisis 1 2 3 4 - food security
  • Design For Arts & Cultural Sustainability - includes Doughnut Economics 'Create to Distribute' for financial infrastructure & 'Design to Regenerate' for material infrastucture - Society 5.0 aims for creative society and also may be 'Experience & Transformation Economy' - sustainability of arts & cultural, religious infrastructure's diversity/pluralism/agnosticism.
  • Design For Technological Sustainability - design for sustainability of technological infrastructure including digital infrastructure, defense/security infrastructure and other essential technological infrastructure (mostly appear as educational sustainability as a part of social sustainability) - technological crisis 1 2 3 (should we ignore this?) - adopt sustainable smart techonologies if they help in achieving sustainability goals. For example, solar panels don't provide sustainable solution if maintainence service is not available in rural areas hence to avoid this we need to train rural youths. Assure technological security/sustainability wherever it is used as per GSIL requirements. 'National Enterprise' is based on technology, if technology collpases then everything collapses, so even switching from automatic to manual process should be a smooth process.
  • Design For Crisis Avoidance/Prevention ('Design For No-Crisis' or 'Design For Zero-Crisis') - includes all above - environmental crisis, human crisis, social crisis, economic/financial crisis, physical/material crisis, institutional crisis, cultural crisis, technological crisis - build resilience. For example, risk factors like malnutrition weakens immunity system against biocrisis, weak houses can't withstand natural disasters like earthquakes, faultlines in financial system lead to financial crisis 1 2 3. All faults, failure modes, risk factors, risk/crisis avoidance techniques have to be identifeid and fault tolerance has to be designed into the system. If government at different levels along with judiciary are active controllers then media is passive watchdog monitor 1 (there are other watchdog monitors like NGOs 1).
  • Research on risk & crisis identification, analysis, simulation, prediction, aviodance & management - Indian/National/Central Institute of Crisis/Disaster Management. What we need is Integrated Risk/Crisis Management in all fronts including finance, environment, healthcare and all essential services. As such this thread itself has identified issues/incidences, actions in many sectors under different classification.
  • Crises like malevolence, bankruptcy, worker strikes/confrontations, voilence, rumours are common to other enterprises in like physical, social & institutional infrastructure sectors though classified under economic crises. Same is true when technology is used (Design For Technological Sustainability?). Natural disaster also.
  • Crisis & Risk Management Gateway - listed earlier in this post
  • Crisis & Risk Management is a continuous work
  • Essential Goods & Services with higher GSIL should be designed for avoiding crises of all types to a higher degree of resilience. 'EGS sustainability' under all circumstances is the most important goal to be achieved.
  • Regular SWOT Analysis is important for sustainability.

One of my college professor, who had a lot of practical knowledge, used to ask questions to students before going ahead with class so to raise students' curiosity. One of the question was "Which has to be switched on first - plant or controller?". India want to develop in a sustainable way, to achieve that we should have control on the development path. 'Goods & Services Gateway' in general (or 'EGS Gateway' in particular) equips us with data and hence control. Important issue is what is the developmental cost and then operational cost of this gateway including energy cost.

I think India has now BFSI & Governance Gateway to a certain extent. Health Gateway is planned. Some of other critical ones are police, defense (may be classified information) and crisis/disaster management. I think agriculture may be of next priority. Others can be prioritized after studying effects of failure (FMEA?).

One more important issue is of keeping 'GS Gateway' inclusive and open. The 'National Enterprise' should be idealogically neutral. Any social media if associated with enterprise platform should not have any ideological preference. It is, currently, worrisome that social platform like facebook 1, twitter are against idealogical diversity means support pseudoliberal monoidealogies. This allegedly because of non-secular countries or countries having official religions holding shares in them. We are already forced to do unethical things 1 2 3 by monoreligious countries 1 2 (probably there is reciprocity, for example, in death case of an actress in a bath tub)(good relations are helping India a lot 1 but should we compromise on values). We may suffer more as idealogical monopolization of social media denies political voice to supporters of opposing idealogies. What we need may be idealogical clash avoidance laws on social network if it has to be linked with national enterprise platform. Even innovation will suffer under idealogical monopolization as innovation is based on openness. There is always fear that monoideological faultlines like monotheism(/monoculture/monolinguistism) and associated blind beliefs & doctrines may put our future Galileos behind idealogical bars. Only crisis avoidance technique against this is to inculcate religiously diverse/pluralistic/agnostic/polyculturistic values through educational system along with polyidealogical/multilinguistic values. A diverse/pluralistic society can be more creative & innovative. We have to eliminate all laws supporting blashphemy 1 2 3 4 to make our country more open and innovative. It is hard to realize why the religions which thrived on blashphemy of other religions seek to hide behind the shield of blashphemy laws. A few steps like this one are welcome to cultivate healthy mind but we are still waiting for a real 56" chestman to lead us towards a pluralistic open India. When we are facing resistance on mutual respect itself how can we aspire for a bigger goal like imbibing pluralism 2, openness hence broadmindedness in religiously/idealogically brainwashed individuals? I don't understand why religions depict the God as so weak? If an electron can have properties of particle and wave simultaneously why can't the God be powerful enough to exhibit properties of monotheism, polytheism, pantheism etc simultaneously? Can we build a diverse resilient inclusive open society in a near future with our gang of opportunistic politicians & intellectuals?

By the way, what was India's vision and mission traditionally for individuals from point of indigenous religious & cultural perspective? Were we supposed to wait for help from external divinity to solve our issues or awaken divinity within us to conquer crises instead of vilifying ourselves as self-centred evils? Can technologies like exoskeleton, intelligence amplification/augmented intelligence make a human being a superhuman being with powers currently identified as supernatural powers? Can we compare 'GS Gateway' with 'Advaita Gateway' or 'Yoga Gateway' or 'Dharma Gateway' for gaining moksha from worldly sufferings/crises 1? Or simply, whether 'GS Gateway' or 'Society Gateway' can be used for salvation from social, economical & ecological crises? 'GS Gateway' provides a way for connecting individuals, enterprises, things/machines with each other. It helps in unification of all enterprises in national/world enterprise to achieve a common good. Goal of yoga is also unification with the world. Through yogic practices one is supposed to move from self-oriented state to society-oriented & life-oriented state and gain moksha by feeling oneness with society, environment & world. Doughnut economics, society 5.0 also stresses on achieving unified good for society/world as a whole. Society 5.0 is created through internet in a fashion similar to creation of brahmanda/universe through indrajala/indra's net. If in adyatmik world karmas are recorded in unlimited akashik records in our case a few of them would be recorded in limited cyber space. Cyber world where shivataandava of people, enterprise and machines churn out wealth through samudra manthana of goods and services. Endless shrivatsa knot were opposing advaita forces - suraasura forces (yin & yang forces, takarangi forces) - interacting in whitenet/darknet manifest, interplay to restore/destroy union, harmony & happiness of the world. If emerging vegan values represents unification of humans and animals (of course, humans have genetic relation with other living beings through horizontal gene transfer also) 1. Cobots represents unification or advaita state of man and machine. Wearables/implantables/exoskeletons/AI enable us to merge human consciousness with machine/material consciousness (through cyber space but may not be transcental consciousness or any other higher level of consciousness; how nice if तुरीय/तुरीयातीत/समाधि state would have been achievable through technology!; alas, we would have had #turiyaBollywood instead of #pudiyaBollywood; read also 1 2 3 4 5 6). In unified enterprise platform both India Inc and India Uninc 1 2, sociallism and capitalism may exist in harmony. But, question remains whether cyberworld can lead us towards eternal economical/social happiness 1 2, 'blissful thought of existence' or nirvaanic state of सच्चिदानन्द or अस्ति भाति प्रिय!

I will update this post later if I see decentralization of India and most of works related to 'GS Gateway' happens in tier II/III cities far away, at least 150 km away, from monstrous tier-I cities exceeding population of 50 lakhs. But anyway I wish to write more on 'Urban/Rural Governance Gateway' and 'Agricultural Gateway' focusing on tier II/III cities and villages.
