Who is Nandan Nilekani?
Nandan Nilekani is one of India’s most respected technology leaders and the Co founder and Chairman of Infosys. He previously served as the founding Chairman of UIDAI, where he led the creation and rollout of Aadhaar, the world’s largest digital identity system. He has also played a major role in shaping India’s Digital Public Infrastructure, including digital identity, e KYC and other large scale public technology initiatives.
His biggest achievements include building Infosys into a global IT giant, leading the Aadhaar project covering over a billion Indians, and helping create secure digital systems used by millions every day.
He has now been appointed to lead the Government’s High Powered Task Force on examination reforms. The likely reason is his proven experience in designing secure, scalable and transparent technology systems. The government is expected to rely on his expertise to recommend reforms that can strengthen exam security, improve candidate authentication, reduce malpractice, enhance cybersecurity and restore trust in India’s examination system.
₹19,000 crore.
That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’
Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.
Their crime? They didn’t have enough money.
A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty.
A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty.
A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty.
The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor.
Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances.
In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.
Not a ban for control but a thoughtful step toward a healthier and more focused society. Would love to see discussions or policy ideas around this.

We already regulate things that impact public health and productivity. Maybe it is time to explore balanced digital use policies that encourage discipline without hurting innovation or freedom.

एक पहचानी-सी अजनबी
उसकी आँखें देखीं तो लगा,
जैसे किसी परी से नज़र मिल गई हो।
उससे बात की तो एहसास हुआ,
मानो किसी अपने से बहुत अरसे बाद मिला हूँ।
उसके चश्मे ऐसे थे,
जैसे किसी खूबसूरत हीरे ने आँखों को ठहराया हो।
और उसकी आवाज़…
जैसे किसी फूल ने बोलना सीख लिया हो।।
