The First Industrial Revolution started in Britain ,
with the invention of steam engine , which multiplied human power many times
With help of steam engine power , one man could do the
job of ten men
Human productivity went up sharply , enabling
production of ten times more goods , in ten times less time
Thousands of factories came up ; first in Britain ,
then in USA and gradually spreading to rest of Europe
But it took over a century to reach the poor countries
of Asia / Africa / China
Under colonial rule , these countries were forced to export
own raw materials to industrialized countries at a very cheap price and import their
factory-made finished goods at very high prices
But as poor countries started catching up on
factory-based manufacturing using its cheap labour , the developed countries
are now worried !
One time importers of finished goods are now exporting
those very products to the developed countries , which are finding it difficult
to compete with the emerging markets
An outstanding example of this is the rise of China ,
in the past 25 years as the , " Factory of the World "
But Western countries are not resigned to their fate of
a lowered
" Standard
of Living "
They are gearing up to usher :
The Second Industrial Revolution !
In the form of Robots :
Robots manufacturing cars / appliances / machinery / anything
Robots 3 D printing products from designs downloaded from
Net
Robots managing health care in hospitals
Robots serving food in restaurants
Robots carrying out office jobs
Robots teaching in schools
Robots entertaining
Robots everywhere !
And these are :
And these are :
Robots which work 24 hours/day and do not
ask for a salary
Robots that do not " go slow "or
go on a strike
Robots that do not demand " Quotas /
Reservations "
Robots that do not take holidays or take
" Sick Leave "
Robots that do not resign / demand promotion
Robots that neither envy other robots nor sabotage
Robots that do not complain against
unpleasant work
Robots that do not get tired and need rest
Robots whose production does not drop after
working for 8 hours
Robots that do not demand " Overtime
Pay " @ 200 % of normal
Robots that perfectly co-ordinate their
tasks with other robots
Robots that willingly " retire "
at any age , whenever required
Robots that do not demand Unemployment/Retirement
Benefits
Robots
which may , some day , provide you with emotional support when you are sick /
depressed !
And this Second Industrial Revolution is NOT going to
take a hundred years to reach the shores of India
With spread of DIGITAL INDIA / Internet / Mobile Apps ,
it may take , no more than 20 years !
Question :
Fearing that it will create further unemployment , shall
we try to stall its arrival ?
OR ,
Will our Self-Employed and Start Ups expedite its
arrival and imaginatively use it to create 100 new jobs for each lost job ?
Let us stop tinkering with ,
* The India
Aspiration Fund
* The
MakeinIndia Soft Loan Fund
* The MUDRA Bank
Converting millions of Job-seekers into Job - Creators ,
would entirely depend upon Union
Government quickly passing , what I earlier advocated as :
Start Up Act - 2015
