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?"

Dear Ministers for :

 

Ø Social Justice and Empowerment

Ø Human Resources

Ø Labour

 

The proposal to bring in a dedicated National Employment Policy ( NEP ), was first mooted in 2008, when UPA was in power

 

One lesson that we have learned ( or, should have learned ) over the past 13 years , is :

 

No policy can provide “ paid jobs in private or public sector “ to 12 / 15 million youth entering our work force each year

 

 

Having learnt this lesson, proposed NEP should simply consist of one sentence, viz :

 

“ Self Employment is a FUNDAMENTAL right of the citizen and anything ( rule – regulation – process – permission – law etc ) that stops an individual from becoming SELF EMPLOYED , will be treated as UNCONSTITUTIONAL “
