1. Let the people know!

We request MeitY to make the comments received by the ministry to be made public on the ministry's website, with the individual's identity being redacted.

This will aid transparency, counter-comments and further public discourse. 2/5

2. Crucial counter arguments!
We are also requesting the ministry to offer the opportunity to allow counter comments to be made to the draft rules. 3/5

3. Language barrier!
Comments only in English and Hindi make the process even more restrictive & limited to a small stakeholder set.

We urge the ministry to accept comments made in all languages mentioned in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. 4/5

⏪Amplify, ⚡engage & request MeitY to consider our requests in the spirit of transparency to make the public consultation process more inclusive.

Stay tuned for a detailed explainer, and join us on Friday for a briefing call on the DPDP Rules. 5/5
