A Tale of Time Travel ?

[ or call it “ Fast Forward to Future “ ]

Sunday Times ( 05 Aug 2018 ) carries following news :

Indore civic body to track officials with GPS watches

The city’s civic body is gifting watches to heads of departments – to keep an eye on them

These GPS-enabled watches will help the civic Commissioner keep track of

# WHERE officials are , and

# HOW MUCH time they spend in office

Indore Municipal Corporation commissioner Asheesh Singh told TOI that the GPS watches will be CUMPULSORY for all additional commissioners, deputy commissioners, executive engineers and assistant engineers

It will be MANDATORY for heads of all departments to wear these watches between 10:30 am and 5:30 pm – the official working hours

The smart watch will upload essential details – like ,

# WHEN the official entered office

# HOW MUCH TIME they were at work or in the field,

to the commissioner’s DASH-BOARD , Singh said , adding ,

“ They will show time and have inbuilt cameras as well “

He added the objective include,

# prevention of misuse of MANUAL ATTENDANCE system

# maintaining TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY in day-to-day work

A central government undertaking, ITI will provide these smart watches and END-to-END solution

An official said Nagpur Municipal Corporation , has already introduced these watches and the idea was appreciated at NATIONAL LEVEL

Dear Shri Asheesh Singhji,

Congratulations on this “ timely “ reform

I urge you to ,

* share with the public from time to time , how your bold initiative pans out

{ I am sending this email to Municipal Commissioners / Mayors of some 200 + cities ,

who may write to you, to know how your experiment goes }

* convince the Central Government to implement the “ End – to – End “ solution which I

sent to the Cabinet Ministers on 01 JUNE 2016 , vide my email :

From BAD to MAD

E Mail Highlights :

Now imagine this :

# All smart phones to evolve as Bio-metric Attendance Devices , with built-in

Bio-metric 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 Jandhan Yojana Bank Account Number for salary EC

* Employer's Jandhan 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 ANALYTIC ( 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

Dear Shri Asheesh Singhji ,

One more request :

Please send one of these Smart Watches to our dear PM , Shri Modiji

And you need not fear about getting your head chopped off ( for sticking your neck out )

I am sure , not only will he wear it proudly , he will thank you for this thoughtful gift !
