CREATE SELF - EMPLOYMENT
Dear Shri Jaitleyji :
I know that the Central Budget is already under
printing and it is too late for you to make any changes at this stage
But , nothing stops you from making " STRATEGY
" announcements in your budget speech , such as :
" This government will adopt
a strategy of generating Self Employment , to provide meaningful work - and
respectable income , to more than ONE MILLION jobseekers every month
To 50 MILLION jobseekers in the next 50 months
By getting banks to advance , small , low-interest
loans to those 125 million poor persons , who have opened bank accounts under
Jan Dhan Yojana
And , by abolishing Personal Income Tax altogether ,
for such Self Employed persons , for all deposits
made into these accounts for next 5 years "
( Unintended side effect :
Within one year , these 125 million
persons would rise above the Poverty
Line ! )
Reason is obvious :
It needs a fraction of the CAPITAL ( fixed + working
capital ) to create a Self Employed job as compared to creating a job in
Organized Sector ( Public or Private )
As you drive to the Parliament House on 28th morning ,
you will get to see on the road - or in those shops lining the road - , a lot
of Self Employed persons .
What kind of CAPITAL ( in tools / machinery / Office -
Factory space ) would be needed create each of those " Jobs " ?
Here are my guesses for investment and space
requirement :
( What for ? / Office -Factory - home Space required )
:
* Domestic Servants / Maids /
Cooks........................ Rs ... NIL
( Nothing / Nil )
* Unskilled
Workers............................................... Rs
... 5,000
( Simple Tools /
Construction Site / Road-side )
* Milk Vendors / Delivery
Boys..................
Rs... 5,000
(
Bycycle / operate from home )
* Pan-Bidi Gulla
Owners.......................................... Rs....
5,000
( Stock in
Dukaan / 25 Sq Ft footpath )
* Roadside Vegetable
Vendors.................................. Rs...
2,000
( Daily
purchase + 25 sq ft of footpath )
* Carpenters / Electricians /
Plumbers etc................... Rs ..... 2,000
( Tools of trade /
Operate from home )
* Tailors / Watch
Repairers...................................... Rs ......5,000
( Sewing Machine - Tools
/ Home or 100 sq ft of footpath )
* Hairdressers........................................................
Rs...... 10,000
( Tools
/ 100 Sq ft of shop rental )
* Rickshaw
Drivers...................................................Rs...... 50,000
( Rickshaw / Operate
from footpath )
I am sure your Ministry has better figures for 200
similar " Self Employed " categories . Or you may want to ask NCAER /
NITI Ayog / HRD Ministry etc
Now , how much CAPITAL will be required to create one
" EMPLOYED " job ?
Once again , here are my guesses :
* In MSME businesses /
companies......................... . Rs ... 2 Lakh
* In large Organized Sector
companies...................... Rs... 25 - 100 Lakhs
Do you see the logic ?
For ONE job in large / organized sector , you can
create 5,000 Self - Employed jobs !
One more thing :
How long does it take to create such jobs ?
> In large organized
companies..................................... 3 / 4 years
> In MSME companies.................................................
1 / 2 years
> Self Employed jobs ( Skilling /
Training Period )........... 3 / 6 months
Self Employment is the ONLY answer to avoid the fate of
PIGS ( Portugal / Italy / Greece / Spain ) and a host of other , "
Advanced Economies " - which borrowed BILLIONS of dollars from IMF / World
Bank / Others !
And now cannot pay back those loans !
Dear Shri Jaitleyji :
We have neither time , nor the money to create ONE
MILLION jobs every month in the organized sector
And we have promises to keep !
I will be keenly listening to your Budget speech
with regards ,
hemen parekh / Mumbai /
