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?"

HOW TO MOTIVATE INDUSTRY TO HIRE MORE


Threats  won’t  work 

==============


Economic Times ( 03 Jan ) carries following news :



“ Skill Councils Told to Ensure Jobs by Industry “



The government has asked industry to provide jobs to personnel trained in their respective sector skill councils, warning that future fund allocation to the council will be withheld and unutilised money will be taken back if there is no increase in hiring.
 

The push comes ahead of general elections scheduled in 2019, where the slow pace of job creation could be a big issue.


The Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, which funds the sector skill councils through the National Skill Development Corporation, has told them to ensure that their industry partners provide jobs to people who have been trained and that these numbers must be reflected on the smart portal created for the purpose, a person familiar with the matter told ET. 



I am afraid such threats cannot force Industry to hire persons it does not need and hiring will increase their cost


But , if you can make them see some benefit , they will


Benefit such as lowering of  “ manpower cost “ , which in turn , can help them lower “ manufacturing cost “ , which in turn , can make their products / services , internationally “ competitive


I urge the Ministry of Labour and Employment and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship , to persuade the Cabinet to implement my following suggestion , in order to reduce ( - will not “ eliminate “ ) unemployment :

Subject: REFORMING : STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION

Over-qualified  :  Under-Skilled  :  Un-Employable  ?

================================


It does not help to be “ Over-qualified


And it is outright detrimental to be “ Under-Skilled “ ( in present case , “ Skill of carrying files “  )


Here is the context ( Source : Indian Express / 05 Jan ) :


“ Look Who Applied for Peon’s Job that went to MLA’s son “


Engineers , Lawyers , Chartered Accountants , MBAs were among 12,453 interviewed for 18 class IV posts at Rajasthan Assembly Secretariat  ( - I guess , selected from possibly 100,000 who applied ?  )


692 interviewed for EACH post  !


To be precise :


·         129………………………   Engineers

·         23…………………………  Lawyers

·         1………………………….   Chartered Accountant

·         393…………………….    Post Graduates

·         1533………………….     Arts  Graduate

·         23………………………   Post Graduates in Science

·         9……………………….    MBA



REASON  ?


For eligibility , Minimum Edu Qualification prescribed, was…………. Studied until Class V


I think it is high time , governments ( State + Central ) , clearly mention in their job advertisements :


Maximum Education Qualification ……….. 10th Standard FAIL ( - in present case , of course ! )


This would save a lot of time / effort / money – and frustration - , both for the Selectors and for the Candidates !


But , bureaucracy never learns !



For  confirmation , read :
