Conference: National seminar on ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’ on April 13, 2017 at 10.00 am at Lipika, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan

- ABSTRACT
- - The present communication highlights the recent sequence of events that occurred consequent to the demonetiation move by India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi who, declared that the two highest denomination currency notes of INR 500 and 1,000. These notes were banned to prevent the illegal financial transactions like Fake currency, Black money, Corruption and Money laundering which has been in India for many years. The move sucked out about 86 percent of the Rs. 15.44 lakh crores cash in circulation. This resulted in a cash crunch causing a lot of inconvenience to public. The move sent ripples across political circles and the media has been extensively reporting on the issue National Print media, TV channels were mostly engaged in covering the issue. Many leading international newspapers have given their opinions on whether the decision to demonetize currency was a 'masterstroke' or a 'policy failure’. Many welcome the government's decisions to demonetize the currency notes in circulation in the economy as bold and revolutionary as in a single master stroke, the government has attempted to tackle all three malaises currently plaguing the economy—a parallel economy, counterfeit currency in circulation and terror financing. On the other hand, critics argue that it has struck a body blow on economic activity in India. India aims to create a cleaner, more transparent economy via digitalization that will lead to an improved climate for foreign investment, boost economic growth, and ultimately propel the country to the next chapter of its emerging markets. The long-term impact will be a paradigm shift to the digital economy. The biggest hindrance to a digital economy is there being a huge in formation asymmetry between financial services providers and the consumers. Present Government had launched a major drive for financial inclusion in terms of opening Jan Dhan accounts, giving a statutory basis for Aadhaar, implementation of Directs Benefits Transfer, introduction of RuPay Cards and Voluntary Disclosure Scheme for unaccounted money. Post demonetization scenario suggest positive impact of demonetization on GDP, tax collection, income tax benefits and growth of economy contrary to the criticism of noted economists and negative impact on real estate. Narendra Modi has cleared his big political test on demonetization, one of the key factors in this round of polls, in grand style in the past assembly elections in five states particularly the largest state of UP. Poll outcome will silent his rivals, who have been projecting the ‘disastrous effects’ of demonetisation on all walks of life and larger economy. Pros and cons of Digital India initiative, cashless economy, financial inclusion etc. leading to social justice are discussed in the paper at length. Keywords: Demonetisation, black money, terrorism,cashless economy, Digital India

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India Ajit Kumar Roy Central Agricultural University, India The digital economy is rapidly developing worldwide as the largest driver of innovation, competition, and growth. Even though many people have been excluded, tremendous opportunities are available for the digital economy to support ﬁnancial inclusion for sustainable economic development. India could see a boost of $700 billion, an 11.8% increase by 2025. This additional GDP could create up to 21 million jobs. McKinsey has estimated that Indians lose more than $2 billion a year in forgone income simply because of the time it takes travelling to and from a bank. India aims to create a cleaner, more transparent economy via digitalization that will lead to an improved climate for foreign investment, boost economic growth. Goldman Sachs predicts that India - comprising 15% of the world populat...

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland March 2013 Projects: Fisheries/Aquaculture Econometrics/Statistics Ajit kumar Roy Anil Upadhyay Khriezhato Nakhro Abstract A complete account of fisheries resources that includes rivers, lakes, bheels pond and tanks along with Government initiatives for fisheries development are compiled for Nagaland well known for its fish biodiversity. In spite of the available resources, in terms of aquaculture production the state of Nagaland could not make visible impact so far. The meager production of the state is still far from self-sufficient and this can be attributed to a number of constraints such as land locke...

An Insight to Application of Computational Statistics and computational Biology in Bioinformatics

An Insight to Application of Computational Statistics and Computational Biology in Bioinformatics August 2012 In book: Applied Computational Biology and Statistics in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Edition: 1 Chapter: ch-36 Publisher: NIPA,New Delhi Editors: akroy Project: Bioinformatics/computational Biology Ajit kumar Roy Computation has become an essential tool in life science research. This is exemplified in genomics, where first microarrays and now massively parallel DNA sequencing have enabled a variety of genome-wide functional assays that require increasingly complex analysis tools. The problem of accessibility of computational tools has long been recognized. Without programming or informatics expertise, scientists needing to use computational approaches are impeded by problems ranging from tool installation; to determining which parameter values to use; to efficiently combining multiple tools together in an analysis chain...
