“I have a conviction and I believe that it is the need of the hour that there should be least State intervention in the lives of our citizens. It should not be sarkaar, sarkaar, sarkaar in everyday life. Now we are headed in a direction where, yes, those who need the government, in whose lives the government is relevant and is necessary – they should not feel the lack and absence of the government,” said the PM, underlining the necessity for State intervention for those who need it.

At the same time, he stressed that the government should create an environment and step away where individual entrepreneurship is thriving.

“...But those who want to strive ahead on their own strength, the government should not intrude or influence their path.

Therefore, I urge all State governments to come forward and create the kind of society and governance structure wherein there is least interference in people’s lives,” said the Prime Minister.

 

Dear Prime Minister :

Over the past 10 years, no doubt , NDA government brought in many reforms to

unshackle the businesses and industries

But the fact remains that , despite huge investments by the Governments (

Central + States ) , generation of new jobs ( - I mean , salaried jobs ), has just

not kept pace with the addition of 12 million youth to our work force each year ,

year after year

From your above statement, I get a feeling that , at long last , there is recognition

of the fact that there is just NO WAY , 12 million new ( salaried ) jobs can be

created each year, by Public Sector and the Private Sector, put together

After 10 years, it is clear that the ONLY SOLUTION for unemployment, is SELF

EMPLOYMENT

In this context your declaration ( “ … step away where individual

entrepreneurship is thriving…. But those who want to strive ahead on

their own strength, the government should not intrude or influence their

path .. “ ), is very heartening

Now that 140 crore citizen have heard your DECLARATION of INTENT , they are

eagerly waiting to see how exactly you plan to translate that INTENT into ACTION

For that ACTION , I urge you to consider my following 9 YEAR old e-mail :

 A NEW ECONOMIC ORDER ? aka " Start Up Act - 2015 "…………….. 12 Sept 2015

 

Dear Sir :

People who plan inter-stellar / inter-galactic travel, using a “ Space Ship “ , are

never going to make it

Space is not some kind of  a very finite, earth-based SEA , which can be crossed

in a SHIP !

If they wish to travel across the Universe, they must change their “ Terms of

Reference “

It is no different when it comes to tackle the “ Universe of Un-Employment “ . We

must change our “ Terms of Reference “ , from employing youth to enabling

“individual entrepreneurship “

With regards,

Hemen Parekh
