WHAT
FOR ?
For implementing my following 5 YEAR old suggestion :
Ø How
About Virtual Call Centers ? ………………….[ 04 Oct 2016 ]
SUGGESTION :
Dear
Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad-ji :
Why give a subsidy to a prospective " OWNER " of a Call Centre ?
Why not give it directly ( DBT / Direct Benefit Transfer ) to those youngsters ?
Of course, this subsidy transfer should take place, only AFTER , the Call Centre Owner
I would request you to consider the following aspects of my
suggestion :
* No new building premises needed
* All technologies for a VPN, are existing / well proven / reasonably priced / easy
to implement quickly
* MSPs / ISPs and your own Ministry are pushing internet connections to every
corner of India
Uber-Ola-Airbnb etc )
* Moving from " Employment " to " Self Employment " with direct transfer of
subsidy to beneficiary
% to 50 % in one year
employed graduates to earn a living
is their topmost agenda
In an age where the " Fast and Furious " are out to overtake the " Slow and Steady " , the meek are unlikely to inherit the earth !
[ AND THEN I
WENT ON TO DESCRIBE MY SUGGESTION AS FOLLOWS ] :
In today's totally interconnected World , why should it be
necessary for housing 10 / 20 / 50 persons in ONE place, under ONE roof,
for collaborating on execution of COMMON tasks
?
I am sure, in any given ONE square km of a small town, there are 50 unemployed - and quite possibly, GRADUATE - youngsters, who would be more than happy to " work from home "
They will be happy to set aside, in their homes, a 5 feet by 5 feet space, as a " Home Work Station "
Now, that subsidy of " Rs
1 lakh per seat " that the IT Ministry has promised , is quite
sufficient to set up a :
VIRTUAL CALL CENTER ,
by connecting those 50 youngsters through a , VPN ( VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK )
And since these youngsters are working from their homes , they
can be asked to work in 3 shifts of 8
hours each , providing " Round
the Clock " service to customers !
If Uber-Ola are adding 5,000 " Ride Sharing Taxies " EVERY MONTH , by providing lease finance to the drivers or even buying the cars themselves and giving to these drivers , then what is holding back the IT Ministry to follow their suit and enable 5,000 youngsters to become " Self Employed " , each month ? or even 50,000 ?
