Hi all, Kalam's digital dream for India "President A P J Abdul Kalam has a digital dream - a citizen casting his vote from a virtual polling booth in his house and an intelligence software projecting a candidate's success as a politician.
Sharing his dream during a lecture on *Electronic Connectivity for a Billion People* in New Delhi on Tuesday, Kalam said he visualised a scenario where the election officer verified the authenticity of a candidate from a national citizen ID database through a multi-factor authentication, soon after he filed his papers. Addressing the 28th General Assembly of International Union of Radio Science, Kalam said in such a scenario the election official, who is entitled to scrutinise the nomination papers, would get information from a variety of sources at a mouse click."
