Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

NO INTERVIEWS FOR B - C - D CATEGORIES ?


Interviewing  300  Lakh  Candidates  ?

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

And , out of those , appointing 1 lakh in next 6 months ?

Today’s Times of India carries following news :







Highlights :

* Over 2.8 crore people will take the online examination for nearly 90,000 jobs offered by the railways in what is being touted as the world's largest recruitment exercise.

In fact, the number of applicants for the scarce government jobs may rise further before the deadline comes to an end today.

Around 20,000 more positions are likely to be offered by the railways next month, taking the total number of jobs to 1.1 lakh.



Only a month back , I expressed my worry that this “ World’s largest Recruitment Exercise “ , could also become :



And when it does ( which it will ) , will opposition parties claim it as :

World’s Biggest Recruitment Scam “ ?

You bet !  Imagine this happening before 2019 General Elections !

It may not be yet too late to make this entire exercise “ honest / transparent / unbiased “ if Railway Ministry were to launch :



Any start up would be able to develop this Online Interview Portal in 2 months , following the detailed instructions at :

Software Architecture For Online Jobs Fair 

 



Or , is it that we are incorrigible  ?

A BREAKTHROUGH IN HOUSING FOR ALL


A   Housing   Miracle  ?

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


It would be, if it is :

*     a house consisting of Bed Room + Living Room + Kitchen + Bathroom + Porch

*    having an area of 650 sq ft
*    costs Rs 2.6 lakh ( @ Rs 400 / sq ft )

*    constructed within 24 hours , using recycled construction debris



Like all the readers , I too was a disbeliever till I read :
















Here is why this technology should be of great interest to Shri Hardeep Singh Puriji ( Housing and Urban Affair Minister ) :




*     Govt is committed to “ Housing for All by 2022 “ ( - some 55 lakh houses ? )


*     Even those so-called “ Affordable Houses “ being constructed currently , cost  Rs
       5,000 / sq ft


*    Present construction methods are not only too slow but also very time-consuming


*    Lakhs of already constructed flats are lying vacant because poor cannot afford Rs 30
      Lakhs flat


*   In Mumbai alone , some 1,500 tons of construction and demolition debris is
    generated daily and  BMC is facing great difficulty in finding places to dump this.
    Illegal dumping is killing mangroves . 3 D printing will utilize all of this debris !

   


I request Shri Puriji to examine the possibility of re-designing the “ Housing for All “ program along the lines of :

Dharavi Remaking SPV

ALONG THE EXPECTED LINES ?


Facebook   Replies

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


Yesterday , there was following news report :




Subsequently, the Ministry of Electronics & IT on March 28, 2018, sent a letter to Facebook seeking their response to the five questions, including,

whether personal data of Indian voters and users has been compromised by Cambridge Analytica or any other downstream entity in any manner,

and if so, how was it compromised?”

The government has also asked the US-headquartered firm
if any downstream entity misused data from Facebook,
what is the protection available to the data subject,
what are the specific steps proposed to be taken by Facebook to prevent any misuse of personal data for potential interference in, or manipulation of the Indian electoral process ?


  I imagine Facebook reply to run like this :



Dear Shri India Government :

Dear Mr Parekh:

Surabhi is of the opinion that we should not invest money on projects where returns are not within 30 to 60 days as is happening at present.

Both of us are still active, of course, you far more than me.

I will be biding my time. Because, a few changes are on the anvil for Tejora. I will brief you when the time comes.
