From BAD to MAD
BAD
= Biometric Attendance Device
MAD
= Mobile Attendance Device

Most
people think the greatest contribution of Bill
Gates ( onetime CEO of Microsoft ) was " MS
Operating System "
I
think , it was his book " Business @ the Speed of
Thought "
Current
CEO of Microsoft is a PIO named Satya Nadela
What
is his contribution ?
What
he said during his talk in Delhi on 30 May , called ,
"
Tech for Good , Ideas
for India " :
He cited the example of how NASA scientists were not able
to see the Rover move on Mars but the holographic output of the Rover is right
there in their office.
Nadella also met two young developers, one of them a 17-year-old who
has figured out how to take data from NASA , conflate it with other information
and see the spread of algae in Bay of Bengal.
“Here’s a student who is taking information that is available,
bringing it together—he wanted to have a real impact right here in terms of how
we managed our climate,” he said.
Nadella wrapped up by summing Microsoft’s mission in India.
" It is about really celebrating the technologies
that you all in India create. In fact, I want us to be the platform
creators that foster the ingenuity of what is happening in India,” he
said.
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 Biometric recording of
attendance but manual calculation
of wages / salaries and payment by cash
or cheque
# Fully Automated
Biometric 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 Biometric Attendance Devices ,
with built-in
Biometric 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
MUDRA Yojana Bank Account Number for salary EC
* Employer's
MUDRA 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 ANALYTICS (
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 PLAN !
