Smt Sitharamanji : It is NOT too late
In your Budget Speech next Tuesday ( 01 Feb 2022 ), can you declare AtmaNirbhar V 2.0, by announcing :
This government will work towards making India, “ Back Factory of the World “
Here is proof of the concept :
Working from home… in blue collar jobs
Extract :
An interesting article in Wired, “Now physical jobs are going remote too”, looks at how a growing range of traditionally physical jobs, such as driving a forklift, can now be carried out from anywhere via a computer.
In the case discussed in the article, a forklift operator working for Phantom Auto remotely loads a truck with pallets and moves containers around a warehouse he has never set foot in, using a program with a steering wheel and pedals similar to those used in many video games, while his monitor provides 360 degree camera shots of the vehicle.
To all intents and purposes, the forklift appears to be driving itself and relies on obstacle detection and collision avoidance algorithms to move around the warehouse. However, when it comes to carrying out certain operations, the company says that sometimes the complexity of the environment means full autonomy is to dangerous, so it makes sense to have human operators in charge, even if they are not physically present, in case the internet connection is lost.
In other situations, it’s also possible to operate three-dimensional robotic arms remotely, or supervise automated operations when the machine hesitates in a certain situation and has to make a choice, and which can be made by operators who can be located anywhere, simply observing events until the moment when their participation is required. Order processing (pick & pack), for example, often requires a robot to take items from a location and place them in a cart, but in many cases it encounters items that it does not know how to handle or has difficulty with, and requires some kind of human instruction to be able to do so.
Robots can also be used to carry out surveillance or logistics, but still require the help of a human operator located elsewhere when they encounter some kind of unexpected situation such as having to address a human.
Human teleoperation is becoming more important as technology enables the automation of more and more operations, but is still at a stage where it is not yet possible to completely dispense with people.
IN THE FUTURE, MANY OF THESE OPERATIONS WILL LIKELY BE CARRIED OUT REMOTELY, WITH SUPERVISORS WEARING A VIRTUAL REALITY VISOR THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PERCEIVE THE ENVIRONMENT MORE REALISTICALLY.
Will we soon start seeing job descriptions such as “automatic forklift operator” and machines moving around apparently on their own in warehouses, stores and other locations ?
Following is my following 6 YEAR old e-mail on this subject :
" BACK FACTORY " OF THE WORLD ? …………………………….[ 09 Sept 2015 ]
Extract :
China is known as the " Factory " of the World
India is known as the " Back Office " of the World
Can India become the " Back Factory " of the World ?
Wrong question !
Right question is : WHEN can we become the " Back Factory " of the World ?
Answer is " hiding in plain sight " !
This week , an astronaut , sitting in a satellite 400 km above the earth and hurtling through space at 16,000 km per hour, operated a robot on the earth
Earlier, scientists sitting in NASA space centre or in Shri Harikota space centre, have operated Mars Rovers / MOM ( Mars Orbital Mission ) remotely
From a distance of millions of miles
And soon, astronauts will be sending emails to earthlings from millions of miles away , using " Space Internet " on their Mobile phones
Invariably, each such team of scientists, comprised Indians !
So, WHEN can our scientists - and software Start Ups - enable Indian workers, sitting in Hyderabad / Chennai etc, to operate / manipulate, machinery in factories of Europe / America / China ?
I believe this can become a reality by 2020 , if Central Government and State Governments , just get out of the way of our scientists / Start Ups and leave them alone !
Then tell them :
" You are our next generation of Freedom Fighters .
Free our millions from poverty / starvation / jobless depression / ignominy / suicides
Like war - ravaged people of North Africa, Indians cannot invade Europe / Australia / Canada, in search of jobs / better life
We depend upon you to bring the jobs to India - jobs such as ,
* Operating Machinery in Factories abroad
* Controlling Air Traffic at Airports around the World
* Operating upon patients in Hospitals , all over
* Teaching students in Schools , in remote Africa
* Any job that currently requires immediate presence of a worker
And,
if you set up a " Back Factory " , you don't need to pay Corporate Income Tax for next 10 years !
SIMPLY REGISTER ON WEB SITE OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT AS A " BACK FACTORY " OWNER AND FILE ANNUAL " ZERO CORPORATE TAX RETURN "
When this happens ,
> Millions of skilled Indian workers will operate factories around the World ,
sitting in, internet connected " Back Factories " in small Indian towns
> Foxcon will not need to replace its high-wage Chinese workers with one
million robots ( as officially announced sometime back )
At half the wages of those Chinese workers, Indians will operate Foxcon
factories , all over the World, remotely !
> " Contract Labour Act " will need to be replaced with " Back Factory Act “
> " Minimum Wages Act " will need to be scrapped !
> India will not need to fight with WTO on " Manpower / Service Exports "
> " Make in India " will morph into " Make from India "
I hope NDA Ministers and members of NITI Aayog will ask, Narayan Murthy / Sam Pitroda / Azim Premji / Sundar Pichai / Satya Nadela / Ray Kurzweil etc :
" How soon can this be done ? How can you help ? "
