THERE IS A SIMPLER WAY

There  is  a  Simpler  Way  !

A study by Harvard researchers ( led by former Standard Chartered Bank Chief , Peter Sands ), recommends doing away with the most popular banknotes used to evade the banking system : the US$ 100 note / the 500 Euro note / the 1000 Swiss franc note and Britain's 50 pound notes

If those large bills were eliminated, argues the Harvard University study, the drug dealers , arms traders , terrorists and tax cheats would find it a whole lot more onerous and risky to move their cash around undetected , carrying huge sacks of small denomination notes

Apparently Harvard researchers did not know that , tax cheats of India have,

*  Siphoned away Rs 34.4 lakh*crores to foreign banks in past 10 years

*  Stashed away (my guess) TEN TIMES as much (Rs 500/1000 notes) in local bank lockers

Had they known , they would have whole heartedly agreed that my following suggestion is a far  SIMPLER / FASTER / SURER method to eliminate BLACK MONEY , forever :

*  Discontinue paper-based currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000

*  Introduce plastic currency notes of Rs 500 / 1,000 which are embedded with RFID sensors ( far thinner than a human hair  ! ) , always broadcasting their presence to Internet of Things ( IoT )

*  Assign to each such note, a IP V 6.0 address , linked to its unique note number

*  Set up a IT-enabled Technology Platform which will constantly monitor any accumulation of Rs 500 / 1000 RFID embedded notes in excess of Rs ONE CRORE within an area of ONE square meter

   

Only 2 days back , Mumbai police caught a van carrying Rs 500 / 1000 currency notes worth Rs 2.84 Crores , hidden in a secret compartment below the floor board

If my suggestion is implemented , who would want to be followed / tracked on Google Map ,

( on the law-enforcer's mobile App ), with a balloon inscribed with the value of those notes ?

I wish Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad would tell Shri Narendra Modi :

" Modiji , this is the ONLY foolproof way to solve the problem of BLACK MONEY , without worrying about introducing a MONEY BILL in Lok Sabha

And our bright young Start Ups are capable of implementing this within 6 months 

Please , give me a GREEN SIGNAL  !  "

Subject: RE: Whom to Train ? How to Train ?

Citizens'  Grievances  ?

Following is a news report from DNA ( 03 March 2016 ) :

"  Citizens' grievances against the central government ministries have increased over three fold in 2015 as compared to the previous year

A total of over 8.81 lakh complaints have been received by the government , which attributed the surge to a number of citizen friendly measures

These grievances were received online through Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System , against central government ministries

This was a written reply in Lok Sabha given by Shri Jitendra Singh , Minister of State for Personnel , Public Grievances and Pensions  "

I wonder if that reply provided following " Analysis " :

*  No of Complaints : Ministry wise / Public Service wise / Period wise / Pendency wise

*  Ave time / Max time / Min time , taken to redress the complaints

Leaving that aside , Shri Singh may want to consider the following :

*  In a population of 1.25 BILLION , not more than 200 million can access the govt web site through a computer ( no internet connection )

*  Even those who may find the concerned web site after a lot of online search as I did ( pgportal.gov.in ) , they will get stumped / overwhelmed by the GRIEVANCE SUBMIT FORM !

*  As against this , we have already 200 million persons having smart phones and that number will reach 651 million in 3 years ( all internet-connected )

In light of this , I request Shri Singh to consider implementing my suggested mobile app , described below in my blog [  29 Dec 2012 ]  :

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

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

(  A great tool for Performance Appraisal of officers ! )

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 (change now this to 2019 )

Subject: Whom to Train ? How to Train ?

Whom  to   Train  ?   How  to   Train  ?

A report in Economic Times ( 24 Feb ) talks of the exercise undertaken by NITI Aayog to ,

*  Map the skill requirements of 22 industry sectors ( " Make in India" listing )

The exercise is expected to be completed in 6 months , after which , NITI Aayog will prepare a sector wise road

 map with targets to be achieved across sectors in the given time

The road map will lay down a process for training ( skilling / re-skilling ) some 402 million youth by 2022

The report adds that the Skills Ministry ( headed by Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy ) has outlined :

*  1500 job roles ( like trade classifications / vocational designations ? )

*  6,700 qualifications ( job descriptions  ?  )

I suppose much of those trainings will be imparted in following Industrial Training Institutes ( ITIs )  :

*  13,105   ( existing as on 2014 )

*    1,150   ( set up by Skills Ministry in 2015 )

*    7,000   ( targeted to be set up in 2016  )

MY  SUGGESTION  :

In India , we have :

*   4300   Degree level Engineering Colleges

*     700   Diploma level Engineering Colleges

All of these colleges have WORKSHOPS equipped with different types of machines needed for " Skills Training "

These ASSETS are used / occupied only for a maximum of 8 hours ( daytime ) and remain idle for 16 hours

Through a partnership with these colleges , NITI Aayog should consider using these UNDER-UTILIZED assets for

 imparting skills to those who need

Such an arrangement will :

*  Enable NITI Aayog to accelerate this program , without a long mobilization time

*  Save thousands of crores of rupees in constructing new buildings / buying new machines

*  Boost " Make in India " initiative by making available skilled manpower at short notice

*  Increase ASSET UTILIZATION of scarce resources

*  Foster INDUSTRY - EDUCATION INSTITUTES cooperation through closer interaction

*  Enable College Faculty involved to earn extra income through charging PLACEMENT FEES to industry

What  about  Schools  ?

*  We have 1.3 million schools in India . But these schools do NOT have workshops / machinery

*  Between them , these Schools have millions of class rooms which too remain unutilized for 16 hours per day

 MY   SUGGESTION  :

*   Ask Sundar Pichai ( Google ) to convert all of these Schools into Wi-Fi Hot Spots ( of course , free of cost ! )

*   And Tim Cook ( Apple ) to provide iPAD-Pro tablets ( no doubt , free ! )

*   And Satya Nadela ( Microsoft ) to provide software support ( ex-gratis  ! )

Then use these 1.3 million schools to provide basic COMPUTER SKILLS to future DATA ENTRY OPERATORS

Where there is a WILL , there is a WAY ( even a Super Highway , if there is a Political Will )
