Yogi Adityanathji orders biometric attendance in Uttar Pradesh
offices
To ensure all government employees reach work on
time, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has instructed that a
biometric attendance system be put in place in offices up to the block level.
Adityanath's instructions came during a meeting with officials of the rural development department late on Saturday night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shri Adityanathji :
Factories and offices ( including many Public Sector establishments )
are having biometric attendance recording systems for many years
In UP , you will need thousands of these , costing
hundreds of crores of rupees
Bad enough !
But what is worse is that these systems
cannot help the administration for compiling any data other than “ Who “ came in
when and left when ! How many hours did he / she remained “ present “ at the
work-place !
A single purpose system of extremely
limited benefit
I urge you to bypass this “ Jurassic Age “ and leapfrog to the “ New India “ Age , by implementing following
suggestion ( earlier sent as email to all Policy Makers )
Let UP show the way to the rest of India
!

BAD = Biometric
Attendance Device
MAD = Mobile
Attendance Device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 )
* HRD Ministry ( Central )
* Skills Development Ministry / NSDC
* 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 " !
