Economic Times ( 09 Sept 2016 ) carries a news report
titled :
"
Unhappy Minister Puts Out a Notice "
It reads :
"
Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh is unhappy with some of his officials of his
ministry still not reporting to work on time despite an Aadhar-based biometric
attendance system in place
This prompted the Minister to recently
put out a notice in his signature , appealing to all officials of the ministry
to come to work on time
He did mention there had been much
improvement in the situation from the earlier times "
Shri Radha Mohanji :
No need to appeal - or be unhappy - if
you change over from " Bio-Metric Attendance Device ( BAD ) " to "
Mobile-based Attendance Device ( MAD ) " , as outlined below ( of course , Aadhar -based )
It may take 10 years to get adopted country-wise
, but it will take our Discipline and Productivity ahead of the World !

BAD = Biometric Attendance Device
MAD = Mobile Attendance Device

Most people think the greatest contribution of Bill Gates ( onetime CEO
of Microsoft ) was " MS Operating System "
I think , it was his book " Business @ the Speed of Thought "
Current CEO of Microsoft is a PIO named Satya Nadela
What is his contribution ?
What he said during his talk in Delhi on 30 May , called ,
" Tech for Good , Ideas for India " :
He cited the example of how NASA
scientists were not able to see the Rover move on Mars but the holographic
output of the Rover is right there in their office.
Nadella also met two young
developers, one of them a 17-year-old who has figured out how to take data from
NASA , conflate it with other information and see the spread of algae in Bay of
Bengal.
“Here’s a student who is
taking information that is available, bringing it together—he wanted to have a
real impact right here in terms of how we managed our climate,” he said.
Nadella wrapped up by
summing Microsoft’s mission in India.
" It is about really celebrating the technologies that you
all in India create. In fact, I want us to be the platform creators that foster
the ingenuity of what is happening in India,” he said.
Here is my idea of a technology that we need to create for a better India :
Today Employee Attendance
Systems in India work at three
levels as follows :
# Entirely
Manual
Attendance
Register and Wage/Salary payment in cash or by Cheque
# Partly
Automated
Punch cards or Bio-metric recording of attendance but manual
calculation
of wages / salaries and payment by cash or cheque
# Fully
Automated
Bio-metric Attendance Devices ( BAD ) , integrated with a
home-grown or
bought-out Salary Payment Software ,
running on a local Server.
Salary payments could be by cheques or
thru Electronic Transfer to
concerned employee's bank account
Once in a while , if a company has several establishments within
a city , those local servers are connected to a Central Server , doing all
processing
In a rare case ( although , I am not aware of any ) , it may be
that all the local servers of all the establishments of a company , all over
the country , are networked with its central computer in its head-quarter
Now imagine this :
# All smart phones to evolve
as Bio-metric Attendance Devices , with built-in
Bio-metric Recorders , GPS , a mobile attendance
App ( called MAD ?
)
# App to have 2 buttons ( Green = IN / Red = OUT )
# Employee to touch IN upon reaching his work-station and
touch OUT ,
while leaving work place , at the end of
work-shift . That's all !
# Being GPS
enabled , buttons will get activated ONLY when the employee
has
reached the work place ( not while he is on his way ! )
# All 100 million establishments in
India ( factories / offices / shops / clinics
NGOs / Govt Depts ) to ensure that the MAD app is installed on
the smart phone of each employee , when he joins
# All of these smart phones to be
connected ( IoT ) , with the servers of ,
* Labour Ministries ( Central and
States )
* Skills Development Ministry / NSDC
* HRD Ministry ( Central )
* Finance Ministries ( Central
+ States )
* NITI Aayog
* Income Tax Department
* Any other server that you may want to
# MAD
app is integrated with a STANDARD / COMMON , software system
for computing daily wages / monthly
salaries of ALL the
persons working
in those 100 million establishments (
whether they are casual /
contractual / trainee /
apprentice / probationer / permanent / retained
# As each person joins in any of these
establishments , data re that
person must be inputted by the Employer
into the App , such as :
* Name / Contact Details / DOB / Aadhar Card No / Employee Number
( Each unique Employee Number will be auto-generated by the
common Salary Payment Software , running on IT Dept Server )
* Employee's Jandhan Yojana
Bank Account Number for salary EC
*
Employer's Jandhan bank account / Unique Employer Number
*
Payment Mode ( Hourly / Daily / Monthly Rated , wages / salaries )
* Leave provisions / PF
rate / TDS rate / Allowances / Reimbursements
* Any other relevant data (
either about employee of for employer )
WHAT ARE
THE ADVANTAGES ?
# For employees , no need to file a separate annual Income Tax Return
# Direct
deposit of PF / TDS amounts into bank accounts of Govt Depts
# Direct
Benefit Transfer ( DBT ) to every Employer for Stipend Subsidy ,
based on number of total trainees /
apprentices employed
# Total Number of employees in
India ( category / region / industry )
# Employment Density ( Industry wise / Region wise /
Skill wise etc )
# Net Employment Growth Rate ( weekly - monthly / Industry-wise )
#
Co-relation with no of persons
graduating at various levels
# Data about those Unemployed ( " Graduating " less "
Employed " )
# Overtime
Statistics ( Use / Abuse )
# Work-hour
Analysis ( Ave hours / week - month )
# Wage
/ Salary Rates ( Rs per hour ) - Industry wise / Region wise
( of great interest to Foreign Investors looking
to bring down
manufacturing costs , by
outsourcing to India / manufacturing in India )
# Compliance with labour laws / tax laws / Apprentice Act etc
# Job Market Forecasts
through BIG
DATA ANALYTIC ( region / industry )
# Demographic
Profiles of employees ( Rural to Urban migration )
# Per
Capita Income Growth for persons using MAD app ( MOM / YOY )
# Changing
composition between Blue
Collar and White
Collar employees
Then there could be many other benefits not envisaged now
Here is an opportunity for :
* Manufacturers
of Smart Phones
To shrink stationary / bulky / common ,
bio-metric devices to mobile /
small / personalized / hand-held
devices
{ Remember , " If you don't make
yourself obsolete , someone else will " ? }
* Tech
Start Ups
To come up with the Mobile App ( MAD )
/ Technology Platform
* NDA
Government
To implement what Shri Narendra Modiji said on 15 July 2015 :
" If China is like a manufacturing factory of
the World , India should
become the human resource capital of the World .
That should be our target and we should lay emphasis on
that .
We should have a futuristic vision and prepare plans for the next ten years "
MAD
could well be an important element of that " JAM PLAN " !
