Topic: E-Governance as a Tool to Reduce Bureaucratic Workload and Combat Red

Tapism & Corruption

Good [morning/afternoon/evening], respected judges, fellow participants, and guests.

We’re here today to present a proposal that addresses one of the most deep-rooted challenges
faced by our country — corruption. But not just corruption as a moral failure or isolated incidents
of bribery. We’re talking about systemic inefficiencies, bureaucratic overload, and red
tapism that have, for too long, crippled public service delivery, especially in rural India.

Corruption is not just an Indian problem — it’s a global challenge. But in India, it manifests
uniquely — in the complex maze of approvals, file movement, and opaque procedures. These
inefficiencies cost lives, delay justice, and hurt growth. Consider this: delays in the defense
sector due to leakages and misappropriation of funds don’t just waste money — they
compromise national security.

So what’s the solution?

Our answer is clear: E-Governance powered by AI, blockchain, and digital platforms.

We believe the time has come to reimagine governance not just as a service, but as a
system that can think, predict, and prevent. Our proposal outlines a comprehensive framework
for how AI-driven automation, blockchain-enabled transparency, and centralized digital
governance can cut down human discretion, reduce workload, and tackle corruption head-on.

Let’s begin with AI-Based Automation.

Artificial Intelligence can transform how government decisions are made. Why should regulatory
approvals take weeks — or worse, depend on who you know — when AI can process them in
hours, based on pre-set rules?

We recommend automating approvals for land records, trade licenses, and compliance
procedures. AI can also assist in predictive analysis — helping us allocate resources more
efficiently and even detect fraud in real time.

Chatbots and AI-driven grievance redressal systems can reduce the physical burden on
government officials and offer citizens round-the-clock support. Imagine filing a complaint and
receiving a resolution timeline instantly, with complete traceability.

Next, we look at Blockchain Technology.

Blockchain is not just for cryptocurrencies. It’s a powerful tool for public accountability. By
creating tamper-proof, decentralized ledgers, we can revolutionize how the government
manages public procurement, distribution, and contracts.
From defense procurement to food distribution under PDS — blockchain can ensure every
rupee is traceable. Ghost beneficiaries? Gone. Missing ration stock? Tracked. Falsified land
records? A thing of the past.

AI and blockchain together can help us plug leakages in DBT schemes. In fact,
Aadhaar-enabled DBT has already saved India nearly ₹90,000 crore. We're proposing a
next-gen DBT, enhanced by predictive AI and biometric fraud detection.

But technology alone is not enough. We need institutional integration.

Our proposal calls for a single-window system, where ministries no longer function in silos.
Estonia offers us a model — secure digital backbones, paperless workflows, and real-time
interdepartmental data exchange. Why can’t India, with its tech talent, do the same?

To achieve this, we’ve laid out a phased implementation roadmap:

●​ In Phase 1, we propose pilot testing in select states — for AI-driven approvals,


blockchain-based procurement, and AI-based RTI analysis. An AI Ethics Committee
will also be set up to ensure transparency and accountability in model design.​

●​ Phase 2 expands this to critical sectors — traffic management, DBT distribution, and AI
integration in UMANG and MyGov platforms.​

●​ In Phase 3, we scale nationally with a National Digital Governance Stack, AI in


defense procurement, and blockchain-integrated tax compliance. We also propose
training civil servants in emerging tech — to reduce resistance and ensure smooth
adoption.​

●​ Finally, Phase 4 focuses on legislative reforms. We suggest updating the RTI Act, IT
Act, and Prevention of Corruption Act to include AI oversight, smart contracts, and
real-time fraud detection systems.​

Of course, we’re not blind to the challenges. Resistance from within the bureaucracy,
cybersecurity risks, and fears around AI bias are real. But that’s why we propose mitigation
strategies — from encrypted data systems, to ethics committees, to comprehensive training
programs.

If implemented, these reforms will bring transformative impact:

●​ We’ll move from procedural, paper-heavy systems to streamlined digital governance.​

●​ Corruption will be harder to hide, thanks to transparent blockchain records and


automated workflows.​
●​ The defense sector will be stronger, more agile, and accountable.​

●​ And most importantly, citizens — especially in rural India — will no longer have to
navigate a maze of red tape just to get what they’re rightfully owed.​

We’re not just proposing policy change. We’re proposing paradigm change.

A shift from manual to machine-enabled. From opaque to transparent. From reactive


governance to predictive governance.

AI won’t replace humans — but it can replace human inefficiency. Blockchain won’t solve every
problem — but it ensures every transaction leaves a trace. And centralized digital systems
won’t remove the state — they’ll help it work better for everyone.

In conclusion, our proposal is not a distant dream. It is a technological possibility and a moral
necessity.

By combining innovation with accountability, we can restore public trust, reduce administrative
burden, and truly realize the vision of Digital India 2.0 — an India where governance is smart,
clean, and citizen-centric.

Thank you.
