DECENTRALIZE LICENCING
When the issue of Ham Licence is concerned, a police clearance Certificate issued
by the S.I. or O.C. of the Police Station where the applicant for the Ham licence stays
will be adequate. One should realise that this is the procedure involved when passports
are issued. The time delay is also considerably less when the issue of police clearance
certificate is faster. Decentralisation of licensing authority will also help. Let
there be four Zones in India where offices for the issue of ham licences be located

De-centralization for issuing licenses is probably not a good idea in India, since
it will cause cause much more confusion and chaos without a centralized single database
for the licenses issued. Instead of creating such confusion, putting a bit more resources
into the existing license issuing admin. might help. Regarding delay in police
verification: Rules should be simplified so that anyone holding a valid Indian
Passport is issued license immediately once a report regarding successful completion test
requirements is received by the licensing authority Getting a passport is a relatively
painless process now.(in such a case, copy of passport should also be included in
the list of documents required to be submitted when one applies for license).

There are a lots of Unused prefixes that could be allocated to Amateurs. My suggestion is to allocate different prefixes to different
States. For Example, VU6 can be TN, VV6 can be Kerala. and Islands should get
different Prefixes depending on the region.. Eg. VVypin Island - 8T6. This
will help the process of decentralizing the licencing as one prefix will be handled by
only one monitoring station. This could also help
the DXing enthusiasts and ARSI could organize contests easily.

There should be a timelimit of 3months for the state police to submit verification
reports for enabling regional monitoring stations to permit/recommend issue of licence

Different Prefixes should be alloted region wise, which helps
decentralising and efficient managment of licencing. Monitoring station in charge
shoulds be authorised to give temporary permission to change of location for
demonstrations. rather than a communication with WPC in Delhi which may take years
to respond......To do so the present manpower to write the Licence should be increased.
The Licencing is still a MANUAL Task, in this DIGITAL age, the Communication
ministry is still running the PAPER workshop with a minimun of 3 to four files to
update to create a single Licence, with the same entry being done. The ministry should at
least go in for a computer network of monitoring station in differnt parts of India, a
central control could be there from the Delhi, This may reduce the burden of people to
come to the capital for the enquiry and other matters.
