There is an old saying:
" If Mohamed cannot go to Mountain , let Mountain
go to Mohamed "
In today's internet era , an equivalent would be :
" If people cannot go to where jobs are , let jobs
go to where people live "
Remember , in 2015 , it is much easier / cheaper to import
" digital service " based jobs into India , then to export people to
foreign countries , where they will face a lot of resistance / animosity from
local citizens
Examples :
Call Canters
/ BPO / RPO / LPO
/ KPO ....any PO ( Process
Outsourcing )
May be this is what was in the mind of Shri Ravi
Shankar Prasad ( Minister for Communication and Information Technology ) , when
he proposed setting up of 480 Call Centers ( @ 100 seats each )
As per Minister ,
> These will
be set up in smaller towns
> These will
be distributed State-Population wise
> Union
Government will give Rs 1 lakh subsidy per seat
> Established
Company will hand-hold a local entrepreneur for setting up
the Call
Center
> Local
entity can be an agency ,society ,individual ,partnership ,Company
> State
Governments will need to provide electricity / security
> Center will
soon issue call for expression of interest
But with 100 persons working in each shift , that would
generate employment for only ,
480*100*3 = 1,44,000
youth
And we have 12 million people joining our work force
every year !
Can we find ways to generate in small towns , millions
of jobs for 3.5 million students graduating from our colleges , each year ?
It is possible , with following " OUT OF THE BOX " thinking :
# SPACE
India boasts of over 1.3 million schools . These school
buildings are occupied for only 8/10 hours per day
Let Government frame rules which encourage these
school-buildings to turn into Call Centers after 5 pm
For a 100 seat Center , Government is planning to give
a subsidy of Rs 100 lakhs
If 25 % of this subsidy is passed onto a school , it
will be happy to lease out its premises to a Call Center
# BROAD-BAND
Under " Digital India " program , let Union
Government provide a 100 Mb broadband connection to each such "
School-cum- Call Center " , free of cost
That will also help the students to freely access digital
education content throughout the day
# BLACK MONEY
Launch an Amnesty Scheme under which black money is
permitted to be invested into setting up such Call Centers
No questions asked as to the source . No penalty to be
paid . No income tax on earnings for 10 years
There can be no better way to put these money to a
mainstream and productive use !
All that debate of " Rewarding " the
tax-evaders while " Penalizing " the honest tax payers , is merely
academic
India's problems are unlikely to be solved by
academicians !
These can be solved , only by pragmatists !
Luck happens when " preparedness " meets
" opportunity "
My suggestions will prepare us to make 21st Century ,
an Indian Century !
