BAD = Biometric Attendance Device
MAD = Mobile Attendance Device

Most people think the greatest contribution of Bill
Gates ( onetime CEO of Microsoft ) was " MS Operating System "
I think , it was his book " Business @ the Speed
of Thought "
Current CEO of Microsoft is a PIO named Satya Nadela
What is his contribution ?
What he said during his talk in Delhi on 30 May ,
called ,
" Tech for Good , Ideas for India " :
He cited the example of how NASA scientists were not able
to see the Rover move on Mars but the holographic output of the Rover is right
there in their office.
Nadella also met two young developers, one
of them a 17-year-old who has figured out how to take data from NASA , conflate
it with other information and see the spread of algae in Bay of Bengal. “Here’s
a student who is taking information that is available, bringing it together—he
wanted to have a real impact right here in terms of how we managed our
climate,” he said.
Nadella wrapped up by summing Microsoft’s
mission in India.
" It is about really celebrating the
technologies that you all in India create. In fact, I want us to be the
platform creators that foster the ingenuity of what is happening in India,” he
said.
Here is my idea of a technology that we
need to create for a better India :
Today Employee Attendance Systems in India
work at three levels as follows :
# Entirely Manual
Attendance Register and Wage/Salary payment
in cash or by Cheque
# Partly Automated
Punch cards or Bio-metric recording of attendance but manual calculation
of wages / salaries and payment by cash or cheque
#
Fully Automated
Bio-metric Attendance Devices ( BAD ) , integrated with a home-grown or
bought-out Salary Payment Software , running on a local Server.
Salary payments could be by cheques or thru Electronic Transfer to
concerned employee's bank account
Once in a while , if a company has several
establishments within a city , those local servers are connected to a Central
Server , doing all processing
In a rare case ( although , I am not aware
of any ) , it may be that all the local servers of all the establishments of a
company , all over the country , are networked with its central computer in its
head-quarter
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
Then there could be many other benefits not
envisaged now
Here is an opportunity for :
*
Manufacturers of Smart Phones
To shrink stationary / bulky / common , bio-metric devices to mobile /
small / personalized / hand-held devices
{
Remember ?
If you don't make yourself obsolete ,
someone else will }
*
Tech Start Ups
To come up with the Mobile App ( MAD ) / Technology Platform
*
NDA Government
To implement what Shri Narendra Modiji said on 15 July 2015 :
" If China is like a
manufacturing factory of the World , India should
become the human resource capital of the World .
That should be our target and we should lay emphasis on that .
We should
MAD
could well be an important element
of that " JAM PLAN " !
