We have in our possession through years of dedicated hard work such software which could have solved the problem of tracking terrorists through emails etc...we had also approached the govt of UP, but their secretariat laughed it off...we were shown the door despite our software being foolproof...now the terrorists have the last laugh and we are sitting at our homes cradling the software!

I understand your feelings. I know the way government works, the bureaucracy works! They want a commission on every item purchased, perhaps you were not giving some. This is not the case just in the UP government; it is the same everywhere, Central Government and all State Governments. That the callousness of governments and its employees are the major reason for all failures in the country is a open secret. I know of projects where crores of rupees are spent without any use but the ones associated with the project have become very rich. I can only share your agony and sympathise with you. In fact, the government will be very unwilling to have such preventive software as it is against their personal interests; do you know, they take a percentage on the exgratia announced to the dead, even create bogus records for unidentified bodies to swallow the money!

We have been working on fingerprinting for some time but may be our marketing lacks the punch since most of the software accepted by the govt belongs to multinationals...everywhere we go they say that we need to see your experience certificate of three years... in the meantime the security goes for a six...do you really think the PMO will spare a thought without first thinking whether we can line their pockets with gold...we have brains but not the monetary resources...of course our project is 100% complete and God willing you will be able to see it in promulgation...but may be not in my motherland!

Hi Joe,
Never give up!
You can write to NIC, State governments, etc. May be you should consider doing a free pilot based on which you can decide next course of action. Most places people have no objection to do a free pilot.
If you think you need help, I can support. We could take the discussion offline.
