HERE IS A WAY TO LEAD THE WORLD

Here  is  a  Way  to  Ensure  !

Hindustan Times ( 27 March 2017 ) carries following news report :

“ UP CM Adityanath’s message to officials: Work 18 to 20 hours daily or leave “

In a stern message to state officials, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said those who are not prepare to work for 18 to 20 hours daily are free to leave their jobs.

“The state government will not tolerate any laxity in implementation of the government schemes. Officers who are willing to work 18-20 hours daily can continue with the government or else they are free to leave,” he said, addressing a BJP meeting on his home turf of Gorakhpur.

“I am a workaholic and the bureaucrats will have to deliver too. Those who are ready to work hard should continue and non-performers should leave,” he reiterated.

Dear Shri Adityanathji :

Making your intention known to UP officers , is no doubt , the very first step

But how will you ensure that your “ Expectations “ get implemented ?

Without depending on human discretion or intervention and totally impartially ?

I strongly recommend that , under your leadership , UP does become that Uttam Pradesh ( so dear to Shri Modiji ) , by implementing my following blog / suggestion :

From BAD to MAD

BAD   =   Biometric Attendance Device

MAD   =   Mobile Attendance Device

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my idea of a technology that we need to create for a better India :

Today EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE SYSTEMS in India work at three levels as follows :

#   ENTIRELY MANUAL

     Attendance Register and Wage/Salary payment in cash or by Cheque

#   PARTLY AUTOMATED

     Punch cards or Bio-metric recording of attendance but manual calculation

     of wages / salaries and payment by cash or cheque

#   FULLY AUTOMATED

     Bio-metric Attendance Devices ( BAD ) , integrated with a home-grown or

     bought-out Salary Payment Software , running on a local Server.

     Salary payments could be by cheques or thru Electronic Transfer to

     concerned employee's bank account

Once in a while , if a company has several establishments within a city , those local servers are connected to a Central Server , doing all processing

In a rare case ( although , I am not aware of any ) , it may be that all the local servers of all the establishments of a company , all over the country , are networked with its central computer in its head-quarter

Now imagine this :

*  All smart phones to evolve as Bio-metric Attendance Devices , with built-in

    Bio-metric Recorders , GPS , a mobile attendance App ( called MAD ? )

*  App to have 2 buttons ( Green = IN  /  Red = OUT )

*  Employee to touch IN upon reaching his work-station and touch OUT ,

    while leaving work place , at the end of work-shift . That's all  !

*  Being GPS enabled , buttons will get activated ONLY when the employee

    has reached the work place ( not while he is on his way ! )

*  All 100 million establishments in India ( factories / offices / shops / clinics

    NGOs / Govt Depts ) to ensure that the MAD app is installed on the smart

    phone of each employee , when he joins

   

*  All of these smart phones to be connected ( IoT ? ) , with the Servers of ,

    *  Labour Ministries ( Central and States )

    *  HRD Ministry ( Central )

    *  Skills Development Ministry / NSDC

    *  Finance Ministries ( Central + States )

    *  NITI Aayog

    *  Income Tax Department

    *  Any other server that you may want to

*   MAD app is integrated with a STANDARD / COMMON , software system

     for computing daily wages / monthly salaries of ALL the persons working

     in those 100 million establishments ( whether they are casual /

     contractual  / trainee / apprentice / probationer / permanent / retained

*   As each person joins in any of these establishments , data re  that

     person must be inputted by the Employer into the App , such as :

   

     *  Name / Contact Details / DOB / Aadhar Card No / Employee Number

         ( Each unique Employee Number will be auto-generated by the

         common Salary Payment Software , running on IT Dept Server )

     *   Employee's Jandhan Yojana Bank Account Number for salary EC

     *   Employer's Jandhan bank account / Unique Employer Number

     *   Payment Mode ( Hourly / Daily / Monthly Rated , wages / salaries )

     *   Leave provisions / PF rate / TDS rate / Allowances / Reimbursements

     *   Any other relevant data ( either about employee of for employer )

WHAT  ARE  THE  ADVANTAGES  ?

*   For employees , no need to file a separate annual Income Tax Return

*   Direct deposit of PF / TDS amounts into bank accounts of Govt Depts

*   Direct Benefit Transfer ( DBT ) to every Employer for Stipend Subsidy ,

     based on number of total trainees / apprentices employed

*   Total number of employees in India ( category / region / industry )

*   Employment Density ( Industry wise / Region wise / Skill wise etc )

*   Net Employment Growth Rate ( weekly - monthly / Industry-wise )

*   Co-relation with no of persons graduating at various levels

*   Data about those Unemployed ( " Graduating " less " Employed " )

*   Overtime Statistics ( Use / Abuse )

*   Work-hour Analysis ( Ave hours / week - month )

*   Wage / Salary Rates ( Rs per hour ) - Industry wise / Region wise

     ( of great interest to Foreign Investors looking to bring down

       manufacturing costs , by outsourcing to India / manufacturing in India )

*   Compliance with labour laws / tax laws / Apprentice Act etc

*   Job Market Forecasts through BIG DATA ANALYTIC ( region / industry )

*   Demographic  Profiles of employees  ( Rural to Urban migration )

*   Per Capita Income Growth for persons using MAD app  ( MOM / YOY )

*   Changing composition between Blue Collar and White Collar employees

Then there could be many other benefits not envisaged now

Here is an opportunity for :

 *  Manufacturers of Smart Phones

     To shrink stationary / bulky / common , bio-metric devices to mobile /

     small / personalized / hand-held devices

    { Remember ?  

If you don't make yourself obsolete , someone else will  }

*  Tech Start Ups

     To come up with the Mobile App ( MAD ) / Technology Platform

*  NDA Government

    To implement what Shri Narendra Modiji said on 15 July 2015 :

   "  If China is like a manufacturing factory of the World , India should

    become the human resource capital of the World .

   That should be our target and we should lay emphasis on that . 

   We should have a futuristic vision and prepare plans for the next ten years "

  

   MAD  could well be an important element  of  that  " JAM PLAN "  !

Electoral Reforms

How  To  Shame  MPs / MLAs ?

-----------------------------------------

Two days back , Shiv Sena MP , Ravindra Gaikwad slapped an Air India officer 25 times and threatened him with dire consequences , for not providing him with a seat in Business Class ( -the aircraft did not have a Business Class ! )

Nothing new !

Over the past decade , we have had hundreds of cases of MPs / MLAs :

·         Assaulting ordinary citizens / public servants

·         Insulting anyone and everyone / inside and outside of Parliament

·         Breaking all kinds of laws with impunity

·         Increasing wealth 10 times in 5 years of their tenure !

Once in a while, some Newspaper / TV channel conducts a SMS-based poll to find out what general public thought of a given incidence

In the present case , a poll conducted by Times of India , got 1.33 lakh responses , of which 78 % said “ YES “ , when asked :

“ SHOULD SHIV SENA MP RAVINDRA GAIKWAD BE DISQUALIFIED FROM LOK SABHA ? “

Does anyone think Smt Sumitra Mahajan or the Hon Supreme Court can take a suo-moto notice of this incidence and citing the poll results, disqualify this MP ?

Unlikely , since there is , as of now , no law for disqualifying an MP / MLA , based on a public poll !

For a couple of years now , I have been writing to Ministers / MPs / MLAs / Political Parties , etc to enact such a law based on my following suggestion

I don’t expect them to listen to my lone voice !

But , if an Institution ( such as Association for Democratic Reforms / India Against Corruption etc ) were to take the initiative and launch the Mobile App : ROMP : , then things can – and , WILL – change

Any internet – based START UP , would be able to come up with such an App , within ONE MONTH !

ROMP - A Panacea ?

In past few years , our Lok Sabha has been repeatedly paralyzed by slogan shouting MPs

Perhaps , the past two weeks were the worst in the history of Lok Sabha , with no business conducted

Someone suggested that MPs be made to lose their salaries for this period , following the universally / legally accepted rule : No Work , No Pay

This won't work . Our crore-pati MPs could not care a hoot for loss of pay !

Only thing that might work :

A mobile app called , " ROMP / Recall Our MP " ( Idea for a Start-Up ? )

Only voters who qualify as follows , will be permitted to use this App , in order to recall an MP :

*  He must be on Electoral Roll

*  He must have actually voted ( even if NOTA ) , in the last general election

   { This criteria is bound to boost voting percentage to 95 %  ! No need to

      make voting compulsory  ! }

*  He can " Vote to Recall " , only MP who got elected from the constituency

   from where he cast his vote in last election

*  He can vote only if there is no Criminal charges filed against him

*  The App itself will accept his " Rating / Vote " only on two days of the year

   announced by the Election Commission for each constituency

*  Any other criteria that readers may wish to suggest ( crowd-sourcing )

ROMP will show following criteria , with " YES "  or "  NO " buttons against each :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOG-IN :

#    Suspend MP for next Session................................ YES.......NO

#    Recall MP.............................................................YES ..... NO

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Justify your recommendation by " Rating " your MP , below

( Unless rated on each criteria , your vote will be invalid )

Is this MP ( who is being rated by you ) :

#     Honest.............................................. YES........NO

#     Of high Integrity................................. YES........ NO

#     Sincere.............................................. YES........ NO

#     Hard-working ....................................  YES........ NO

#     Punctual.............................................. YES.......  NO

#     Dignified............................................  YES........  NO

#     Follows Speaker's Orders.....................   YES........  NO

#     Good Listener.......................................  YES......... NO

#     Awaits his turn to speak.......................... YES........ NO

#     Asks only relevant questions..................  YES........ NO

#     Approachable to Voters..........................  YES....... NO

#    Answers Voters' Emails promptly...............  YES......  NO

#    Provides regular feedback to Voters ............. YES.......NO

#    Addresses other MPs with respect...............  YES..........NO

                                        SUBMIT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conditions governing use of  ROMP  :

*   It can be downloaded from the web site of Election Commission , upon

     filling up a form, requiring all kinds of proof that you are a genuine voter

*   Upon being satisfied ( that you are a genuine voter ) , the Server will

     issue a User ID and Password, to log in before you can use the App.

     It would be better still , if biometric identification is integrated with the

     App , since AADHAR cards are already having such identification

*   ROMP can be downloaded only once

  

*   At least 66 % of the Voters who had actually voted in that Constituency

     during the last General Election , should take part in ROMP event for it

     to be considered valid

    

*  Only in case more than 2/3rd ( > 66 % ) of " Ratings " cast recommend

    Suspension or Recall , will the Election Commission / Speaker act

    according to People's Mandate

*  However , in case where those 66 % are divided between " Recall " and

    " Suspend " , then " Suspend " will prevail

*  Rating results will be made public on Election Commission web site on the

    next day and also published in leading Newspapers

I do believe that the present NDA government is keen to introduce / pass ,

"  RIGHT  TO  RECALL  BILL  " in Lok Sabha as part of Electoral Reforms

Except that the combined opposition may defeat it in Rajya Sabha  !

Which MP would want to sign his own death-warrant  ?

But even without a legal backing , I feel ROMP would have a salutary effect

on the behavior of our MPs , who would know that they are being watched,

and their conduct is being evaluated ! - and will be made public  !

ROMP , along with my earlier suggested mobile Apps ,

*     VotesApp  ( 18  Aug  2013  )

   { http://www.hemenparekh.in/2013/08/votesapp.html  }

*     I SIN><U SIN ,  (  18  Aug  2013  )

  { http://www.hemenparekh.in/2013/08/i-sin-sin-that-could-be-name-of-android.html }

will take us many steps closer to a Digital India

If you endorse my views , please forward to all Policy Makers

If not , please do come up with a better idea !
