Captain Amrinder Singh ( Punjab Congress
) has promised jobs ( of course, if voted to power in the forthcoming State
Election ) , to youth who pledge as follows :
" I promise I will remain free from
drugs and make my family drug free too "
By now, some 12 lakh youngsters have signed up
Expect this figure to go up dramatically, considering that , a few weeks
back , some 30 lakh youngsters ( 20 % girls ) had signed up to receive a FREE
smart phone from Captain ( " if
voted to power " conditions apply )
In Punjab , there are 91 lakh youngsters in the age group of 18 - 35
And a smart phone could well cost Rs
5,000 each
That would cost the Congress Government (
if voted to power ), Rs 4550 crores !
Election Commission " guide lines
" and Supreme Court " directives " notwithstanding ,
all political parties have in the past, offered ( and often delivered ) a whole
host of " freebies " in order to " buy " votes
Aam Aadmi Party ( AAP ) has promised jobs ( if voted to
power ) , to 25 lakh Punjab youth
Without asking them to kick the drug habit !
SO , HOW CAN CAPTAIN BE FAULTED ?
What could be more " noble " than to wean away the Punjab youth
from drugs ?
And keep them gainfully / productively engaged in a nation-building
activity by having a job and supporting their families ?
I suggest that Captain implement the
following as far as ensuring that these 91 lakh youth stay " drug free " after getting a job :
* As promised , distribute smart phones which are UPI / AEPS
enabled Payment Wallets
* Those smart
phones must have built-in
* " Drug Analyzer " ( similar to Oxymeters ,
which display oxygen level in blood when
a finger is placed on the
device )
* Biometric reading device ( Iris and Finger
scan )
* Pre-installed Mobile App " DrugFree "
I have no doubt that leading smart phone manufacturers will come forward
with such
versions , considering the volumes involved and the possibility that the
other political
parties , too , may make similar conditional " Job Promises " in
near future !
* Every morning , as soon as the Youth reports for work ,
he will launch " DrugFree
" app
on his mobile, and place his finger on App icon,
in the presence of his immediate
supervisor
* Phone will display / record the drug level reading and
also relay it simultaneously to the
Server of the Salary Section (
including the time for attendance
recording )
*
This exercise will be repeated in the evening when that Youth leaves for
home
* No salary will be paid
for the day on which drug reading exceeds permissible limit
This will be done automatically
by the Server-based software ( very simple coding )
* If drug reading exceeds the
permissible limits , more than 3 times in a month , the
Server-based software will
automatically issue a " Warning
Email " ( keep humans out )
* Upon
issuance of 3 such " Warning
E mails " , the Server-based software will issue a
" Termination
E Mail " , terminating the services of the Youth and simultaneously
instructing the Salary
Section to settle his account and issue a " Service Certificate "
which will mention full Service History
But developing / implementing a fool-proof
technological solution ( to determine drug free status of the Youth ) , is the least of the problems
Any number of Start Up in the Health Care domain, will
do it in 3 months ! Just ask Practo !
The real problem is :
WHERE - AND HOW - TO FIND JOBS FOR 91 LAKH
YOUTH ?
The worst thing would be to create
vacancies in Government , which will bring governance to a complete halt and
sky-rocket the Corruption ! Don't
even think of this !
Sure , new industries can be incentivized
to hire a few lakh, by offering free land , exemption from Municipal / State taxes
for 5 years , exemption from certain Labour Laws, stipend subsidies if 70%
employees are " DrugFree
" youth , etc
Even existing industries ( especially , MSME
) can be incentivized by reimbursement of 50 % salaries for 5 years for employing
such Youth
But none of these measures can take care of Captain's promise to 91 lakh
Youth !
I suggest Captain Amrinder Singhji , to
look up my following suggestion for an alternative of
SELF EMPLOYMENT :

Dear Captain Amrinder Singhji :
Having made a very noble gesture to the voters , please
ensure a FAIR & JUST implementation !
I hope Shri Prakash Javadekarji / Shri Amit Shahji , find
merit in this suggestion for other
forthcoming elections in States
