RE: E-DELIVERY OF SERVICES

NO   INTERVIEWS   FOR   B / C / D  ?

Hon PM , Shri Modiji has announced that , starting 01 Jan 2016 , there will be no interviews for recruitment in B / C / D categories of employees in Central Government

You may like to call this :

A / B / C / D of Interviewing  !  or , Non-Interviewing  ?

Henceforth , recruitment would be made only on the basis of marks scored by candidates in written exams , conducted by ,

STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION  (  SSC  )

Believe me , there will be 2589  applicants scoring 94 % mark !

In which case , who gets that job ?

>  Candidates with surnames starting with  " A / B / C " ?

>  Candidates belonging to OBC / SC / ST quota ?

>  State-wise / Population-wise Quota ?

>  Candidates having Ph D / Master degree ?

Last year , SSC recruited about 55,000 employees from 17 million applicants ( 309 applicants for each vacancy )

Now take a look at the following news ( DNA / 11 Sept 2015 ) :

Against 368 vacancies of " Peons " advertized by UP Govt , applications received were as follows :

*  Total Number of applicants.............. 20 lakh

    {  5,435 applicants for each post  ! }

*  No of PhDs....................................  201

*  No of Master Degree holders............ 20,056

*  No of Bachelor Degree holders.......... 1,23,000

*  No of 12th Standard pass................. 6,00,000

*  No of 10th Standard pass................. 8,20,000

   { Minimum prescribed Edu Qualification = 10th Standard }

I suppose the Edu Profile ( and Min Edu Quali ) of those applying for Central Govt jobs in B / C / D categories , is no different

If so , those applicants holding Ph D / MA , qualifications , can be expected to" Top the lists "with high marks! And corner all jobs ?

Will that lead to ,

>  Getting higher Educational Qualifications ?

>  Getting higher marks in 10th/12th Std for admissions to

    Colleges  ?

>  Bribing college examiners ?

>  Huge amount of frustration/resentment among those Ph Ds for

    taking up a job below their skills ?

   

   

What is the rationale behind the decision to do away with the interviewing ? HT ( 26 Oct 2015 ) quotes :

*  Shri Modiji :

    I have never heard of a psychologist who can evaluate a person during an interview of one to two minutes

* Shri Shekhar Singh

   Interview did not serve a purpose for junior posts, particularly when the government had never defined the attributes of a civil servant for a particular job

No doubt , these are very valid points , which " No Interview " decision seems to answer in short term

But the long term answer is :

*  Preliminary elimination based on 10th/12th Std marks

*  Define those " attributes " for each job

*  Design  ONLINE " Psychometric Tests " around those

    attributes

*  Cut-off percentile based on these  ONLINE  tests

*  Distributing Successful candidates for personal ONLINE

     Interviewing by hiring Government Departments , using a

     portal called,

     www.OnlineGovInterview.com

     This  ONLINE  interviewing can also be Out-Sourced to

     reputable private sector Recruitment Companies

     ( Public / Private Collaboration ? )

  

 *  Skype based  ONLINE  Video Interviewing , thru

         www.OnlineGovInterview.com

*  An exhaustive/objective " ASSESSMENT SHEET " ( with 5 point

    weighted average scale on 10 attributes ) , to be filled up

    ONLINE , in the portal by the interviewers, with final

    recommendations on the suitability of interviewed candidates

    This will be transparently available for viewing by ALL citizens

    No need for RTI application !

When implemented , this would become , one of the finest example of e-Governance thru DIGITAL INDIA

And , not at all difficult for India - the Software Superpower , if there is a Political Will

TCS / INFOSYS / WIPRO would do this in 3 months  !

HONEY  ,  I   SHRUNK   THE   EVM  !

EVM = Electronic Voting Machine

In my earlier blog ( 18 Aug 2013 ) , I had suggested that all Elections ( National / State / Municipal / Panchayat ) , be conducted using a Mobile App called,

VotesApp

Idea was to shrink the EVM to a personalized Mobile , which , everyone carries in his pocket

Entire process of how this App will work , is described in my blog

Now you may ask :

HOW  WILL  IT  HELP  ?

*  No need for 930,000 polling booths / EVMs / Ink / Papers etc

    Every voter's own mobile becomes a miniature EVM  !

    Any registered Voter can vote from anywhere in the World  !

*  Nor any need to deploy 1,100,000 people to conduct the polls

*  No need for millions of Police / Military personnel

*  No need for months of advance preparations, across entire country

*  Voting can be completed in just ONE day - instead of over 6 weeks -
    and results can be declared next day  !

*  Voting could be 95 % or more  !

*  No worry for booth-capture

 

*  No  bogus voting ( Bio-metric ID from built-in camera )

*  No duplicate voting ( Self-destruct after single usage )

*  No worry for any terrorist attacks

*  Enormous saving of time for Voters

*  No need to declare a public holiday - costing thousands of crores 
     worth of production

*  Central Government will save, at least , Rs 2,000 Crores .

*     For the Central Government , a potential  to earn Rs 20,000 crores , by

       enabling 15 million Indian businesses to advertise to 814 million voters

       thru this mobile VotesApp , 

       sharply targeting by Gender / Age / Marital Status / City / Street / 
       Education / Income Tax paid / Employed or Jobless ..etc

*   No need for Central Government to stop taking even routine decisions 

    ( due to Model Code of Conduct )

If a tiny country like Estonia ( population 1.6 million ) can elect its Members of Parliament thru a VotesApp type mobile App , why can't we  ?

Already 900+ million Indians have mobiles - all of which , will soon become Smart Phones

As far as designing / developing of  VotesApp  is concerned , it is NOT a Rocket Science

Any IT / E-Comm Start Up , should be able to develop  VotesApp  in 3 months

On this Dussehara day , can you think of a better way for Good to prevail over Evil ?

A better way for " E-delivery of Service " ?

VotesApp

Here is a suggestion to IIT-Bombay , to develop a voting app , to be called VotesApp.

Highlights of VotesApp :

Ø  An Android app which can be downloaded from Google Play / Android Zoom / GetJar and the official web site of Election Commission of India

Ø  It will be pre-loaded on 220 million Aakash tablets  which Govt of India plans to distribute to students

Ø  It will also be pre-loaded on those Smart phones ( to be called, “ Dharati “ ? ), which Govt of India plans to distribute free to 400 million “ poor “ Indians , before 2014 National elections

Ø  All tablet / smart phone manufacturers will be encouraged to pre-load VotesApp

Ø  Using this app , a voter can register at Election Commission web site, where he will enter the same data which he has submitted for his Aadhar card, including Aadhar card number (Unique Identification No)

Ø  All of these details will be verified by Aadhar database

Ø  Obviously , those who have not obtained their Aadhar card , will not be able to use VotesApp . They will need to visit nearest polling booth

Ø  Upon correct verification , Aadhar Database will permanently link the person’s Aadhar number with the mobile number from which  registration is done, and issue a Password

Ø  An under aged person will not be allowed to register

Ø  A person will be able to vote only from that mobile number

Ø  After login on first screen, user will be asked to select one option from

>    Panchayat Election

>    Municipal Election

>   State Assembly Election

>   Lok-Sabha Election

Ø  Upon selection, user will be presented with the list of candidates contesting , from which , he can select only one by ticking a checkbox. There will be also a choice , labeled “ None “

Ø  A long press on a candidate’s name will display details of his declared assets as also his criminal record

Ø  After ticking / selecting a candidate, voter will click on  “ VOTE “ button, whereupon his vote gets registered and VotesApp gets inactivated

Ø  Once a voter registers on Election Commission web site , he cannot go to a pooling booth and vote physically

Ø  In less than one year , Govt of India will recover the cost of 220 million Aakash tablets and 400 million” Dharati “ smart phones , through this ,

>  customized / personalized / shrinking of EVMs ( Electronic Voting Machines ) ,

to a hand-held device. And imagine the millions of man-hours saved !

Ø  And the beauty is , no one can capture this booth , or conduct exit polls ! What will “ experts “ discuss on TV channels ?

Ø  What next ? Election Commission “licensing “ this App to other countries ?

I SIN><U SIN

That could be the name of an android app ( I Seek It Now > < U Solve It Now )

To be developed by India’s Central Home Ministry for successful implementation of proposed,

“ Delivery  of  Services  Act “

The app will come pre-installed on those mobile phones which Government of India plans to distribute FREE , to some 400 million “ Poor People “ of India , before the 2014 National Election ( and on those 220 million Aakash Tablets )

Issuer will enter the Mobile No and that person’s Aadhar Card No, in a computerized central database , before issuing the phone

Hence , no need to login to the App , whose screen will read,

“ I wish to send my complaint to the following department :

• National Commission for Women

• Garbage Clearance

• Water Supply

• Electricity Supply

• Roads Repair

• Rationing ( Food Distribution )

• Police

• Bus Transport

• Railways

• Post

• Employment

• Education

• Irrigation

• Building Permits

• Revenue / Land Records

• Anti Corruption

• Other ……………………………………….etc
•  

( List should not exceed 50 )

Touching name of any department name will open a SMS message box where the user will type out his complaint ( in a language of his choice )

There will be option to speak-out and record voice message , for illiterate users

Touching SEND button will transmit the complaint and within minutes, user will receive SMS reply , giving,

• Name of Officer responsible

• Office Landline No

• Mobile No

• Email Id

• Complaint No

• Expected date of solving
•  

Bingo !

Then publish online , a tabulation of departments , arranged in the descending order of the no of complaints received / cleared / pending !

This frugal innovation will bring in Good Governance all over India

Request Nandan Nilekani / Sam Pitroda to help out , even though they may be busy implementing my earlier suggested app , 

“ VotesApp “

I have no doubt that the political party which promises , “ I SIN >< U SIN “ ,  will get voted to power in 2014
