Boosting welfare is the message, which is how Aadhaar is being presented in India. The Aadhaar system as a medium, however, is one that enables tracking, surveillance, and data monetisation. This piece by Sumandro Chattapadhyay was published in The Wire on April 19, 2016.

The Last Cultural Mile: by kaeru — published Dec 09, 2011 — last modified Apr 03, 2015 10:59 AM — filed under: Digital Governance, Internet Histories, Histories of Internet, Researchers at Work, Publications
Ashish’s monograph follows the career of a priori contradiction, one that only mandates a state mechanism to perform an act of delivery, and then disqualifies the state from performing that very act effectively. This contradiction which he names as the Last Mile problem is a conceptual hurdle, not a physical one and when put one way, the Last Mile is unbridgeable, when put another, it is being bridged all the time.

Ashish’s monograph follows the career of a priori contradiction, one that only mandates a state mechanism to perform an act of delivery, and then disqualifies the state from performing that very act effectively. This contradiction which Ashish names as the Last Mile problem is a conceptual hurdle, not a physical one. Ashish argues that when put one way, the Last Mile is unbridgeable, when put another, it is being bridged all the time. The manner in which it is being bridged often forms the grey zone of state operation, and such bridging has historically occurred either through the process of bypassing or appropriation.

The Last Cultural Mile: by Prasad Krishna — last modified Sep 28, 2011 05:40 AM
Ashish’s research inquiry is informed by the ‘last mile’ which has emerged as a central area of discussion in the domains of technology and governance from the 1940s in India. Starting from mapping technology onto developmentalist–democratic priorities which propelled communication technologies beginning with the invention of radio in India, the monograph conceives of the ‘last mile’ as a mode of techno-democracy, where connectivity has been directly translated into democratic citizenship.

The Mother and Child Tracking System - understanding data trail in the Indian healthcare systems: by Ambika Tandon — published Oct 18, 2019 — last modified Dec 30, 2019 05:18 PM — filed under: Big Data, Data Systems, Privacy, Researchers at Work, Internet Governance, Research, BD4D, Healthcare, Big Data for Development
Reproductive health programmes in India have been digitising extensive data about pregnant women for over a decade, as part of multiple health information systems. These can be seen as precursors to current conceptions of big data systems within health informatics. In this article, published by Privacy International, Ambika Tandon presents some findings from a recently concluded case study of the MCTS as an example of public data-driven initiatives in reproductive health in India.
