This is naive thinking. The indian govt might be slow and corrupt but rest assured when it comes to implementation they are actually quite decent. See the amount of work that has gone into computerization of various things like personal tax, property tax, education etc. Other governments can move much more quickly because they only have 1% of India's population. India has so much paper records and most of them lost. For example, can you imagine what it takes to move the property tax system online? Most land records don't exist on paper with the goverment. This is not just a data entry and technology problem anymore.
No, what I am worried about is that if they pull if off, you cannot keep the politicians off this. And it's guaranteed to be misused. It's dangerous to build a monitoring system because a security hole in such things endangers everyone. If the richest companies in the planet like apple, google, sony cannot build secure governments, I highly doubt government can.
