Here is a PARTIAL
list of initiatives that may transform
India - if successful
But let not " Fear of Failure " prevent us
from undertaking a " Out of Box " thinking
In a democracy , people have a right to differ
Hence , many
will not agree - but they must have their say
In the end , there is only ONE WAY to find what works -
and what does not
BY TRYING OUT !
MY LIST ( not in order of importance or priority ) :
> Food
Security Bill

2.5 lakh panchayats thru broadband
> Aakash
Tablets for 220 million students

> 4G Wireless
Internet all over India
> Delhi

> Natural
Resources Allocation Policy

> " India

Here are my own suggestions :
> BLACK MONEY
* As incomes
climb ( for an individual or for a corporate ), reduce taxation
rates for
each higher slab ( reverse of present system )
Eliminate
incentive for tax - evasion
Reward
honesty / efficiency / productivity
Celebrate Wealth-Creators
No more "Black Money " generators
With such " Inverse Taxation " regime , we can
expect Corporate and HNIs from all over the
world , to pump in $ 100 billion worth of
investment, EVERY YEAR , in our Infrastructure
projects !

* Introduce Amnesty Scheme for black money
declaration
No questions
asked ( re Source of funds ) for investment in specific
Infrastructure Bonds , with tax - free interest for 10 years
> JOBS
* With ever-increasing mechanization /
automation in every sector of
economy ,
there is no way , we can create 12 MILLION new jobs ,
either in Organized or Unorganized sectors
, year after year
Creating just ONE job in these sectors , requires a
Capital Investment of Rs 1 million ( Ave )
Where can we find Rs 12 million million ?

Our only
hope lies in creating " SELF - EMPLOYMENT "
To generate
massive self - employment , provide generous , low interest
loans and
" Tax Free " income (up to Rs 5 Lakh/ year) for self-employed ( including Proprietary Firms )
* Create an " Online Job Exchange " to
replace 943 existing physical
Employment
Exchanges , with 42 million current registrations
Call it
" GLOBAL-RECRUITER "
Require ALL
job-portals of India , to RSS feed into
Global-Recruiter ,
# Every single job advt posted everyday(
including current )
# Every resume posted everyday ( including
current )
Make these
jobs and resumes " searchable " from ALL the job-portals ,
irrespective
of , on which job portal , these were posted
After
matching " JOBS " with " RESUMES " , Global Recruiter to
send out
daily Job -
Alerts on the smart phones of the jobseekers , thru a mobile
App , " MY JOBS " - against which ,
candidates can apply from mobile
Make it
mandatory for every Smart phone and Tablet sold ( or given away
free ) in
India , to pre-install " My Jobs " App
And , most
certainly , those 9 million Aakash - 4 tablets for which tender
opens on 28th
Jan 2014
Will Narendra Modi
/ Rahul Gandhi
/ Arvind Kejriwal
etc , incorporate these , in their poll manifestos for April 2014
election ?
* hemen parekh
( 15 Jan
2014 / Mumbai
)
