What for ?

For taking a truly revolutionary step which will transform the “ Entrepreneur Eco System “ in   India

What step ?

AICTE ( All India Council for Technical Education ) just issued following directive to to all 10,400  technical institutes – including engineering colleges and universities :

#   Set up Incubation Centres ( compulsory )

#  Arrange frequent interaction of students and faculty members with industrialists,

    entrepreneurs, alumni and other key stakeholders , to inspire students to take up

    INNOVATION PROJECTS that can later be fleshed out into START UPS

[ source : https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-incubators-mandatory-for-technical-institutes-aicte-2742298  ]

Any thoughts on how this directive should get translated into explicit ACTION PLAN ?

I urge Dr Sahasrabudhe to consider my following E mail , sent earlier to all  Policy Makers :

[  TEN MILLION ENTREPRENEURS ?     19  Oct  2015  ]

 

Extract :

 

Here is how we can produce a generation of ENTREPRENEURS , 5 years from now ( if we start NOW ) :

*   Introduce " Entrepreneurship " as an mandatory subject in High Schools

     and Colleges

*   Each such School / College to be " Adopted " by a Corporate ( CSR ? )

*   Each adopting Corporate will bear the full expense of running this

     course ( Teachers' Salaries etc )

*   Such expense to be tax-exempt ( or offset as Corporate CSR obligation )

*   Exams to be in the form of presentation by teams of final year students

     on,

    " HERE   IS   A   BUSINESS   I   PLAN   TO   START "

*   Presentations to be judged by Panels of Venture Capitalists / Angel

     Investors / Incubators etc

*   Winning teams ( 1st / 2nd / 3rd  prize ) , to be offered funds by the

     Panel Members ( as seen in some TV programs )

     Fund amounts should be small ( Max Rs 100 lakhs ) and preference to

     be given to projects involving healthcare / education / manufacturing /

     agriculture / food processing etc

*   Winning Teams , setting up Start Ups with these VC funds , to be

     encouraged to hire graduating students from the non-winning teams

    

     This " encouragement " to be in the form of reimbursement of salaries of

     such hires ( only such hires ), under  " Employment Generation Subsidy "

     from concerned State Government , where this Start Up gets registered ,

     since , employment is a State Subject

     Such Salary-reimbursements  will be for first 3 years of Start Up

    

To create an entire  GENERATION of ENTREPRENEURS , we need to start at the roots

Some years later , when this FIRST generation becomes parents of their own 10 year olds , those SECOND generation youngsters will have entrepreneurship in their genes !

This is one way of preparing a GM ( genetically modified ) Generation , to which , there ought to be all round support

Census 2021 : an Unprecedented Opportunity

What opportunity ?

#  To settle , once  and for all, disputes re accuracy / up-to-date-ness of ,

·          Number of Employed / Unemployed / Self Employed

How ?

By capturing this data in Census 2021     

May need some revision of “ Job-Work “ related questions No 15  till 22 in the  current Census Form

Would that not be a massive exercise ?

Sure . That is why Census is carried out only once in 10 years – with last one in 2011

For 2021 Census exercise, it is planned to mobilize 33 lakh enumerators who will go door to door to collect data by interviewing families ( notification already issued )

In 2011 Census, “ Housing Census “ took 6 months, followed by actual “ people census “ for 3 weeks

The average census costs over $4 per person, whereas the census in India cost just $ 0.50 per person. (  a total of $ 439 million  )

 

But would not “ Employment Data “  captured become outdated within a few months ?

Absolutely – considering that Census is conducted only once in 10 years !

Then how do you say :  ‘ Up-to-date-ness ? ‘

Thanks to,

Shri Rajiv Gauba – Home Secretary  [  hshso@nic.in  /  r.gauba@nic.in ] , and

Shri Vivek Joshi – Registrar General of India ( RGI ) [  rgi.rgi@nic.in  ],

-       2021 Census is planned to be carried out using a MOBILE  APP  !

Herein lies that “ Unprecedented Opportunity “

Here is how :

#     In Census Form , add following optional fields :

·          Aadhar ID

·          PAN

·          Mobile Phone Number

·          E Mail ID– to be treated as “ User ID “ for accessing own data for EDIT purpose

·          Password – for EDITING own data, online , at any time

·          Voter ID

#     Once the enumerators have uploaded all 2021 Census data in Online Database, enable each

       Registered person to Update / Edit , his / her data , by logging in

#     Personal Data may be updated as follows :

·          Once a year ( Mandatory ) – some service deprived if he / she does not update

·          As often as personal data changes

Hey ! Why would anyone take the trouble to update his personal data ?

Normally not but he would if following INCENTIVES are offered :

[  A  ]     Getting a Job

      “ Suitable Job Alerts “ on Mobile from National Career Service

A “ Job Alert on Mobile – JAM “ Mobile App will allow a person to “ Apply Online “ against any job alert by simply touching “ Send my Resume “ .

This feature will motivate, each and every unemployed to maintain his / her data in CENSUS FORM, always up-to-date !

To achieve this, “ Submit Resume “ form and “ Post Job “ form on all major job portals and National Career Service portal, will need to be identical ( or fields mapped )

I have no doubt that if appealed by Shri Rajnath Singhji, job portals would happily synchronize their forms , to facilitate such huge economic empowerment of millions of unemployed 

            

[  B  ]     Getting Money

         Money is the most powerful incentive for doing any work even if that requires keeping one’s data up-to-date

         For millions of poor / middle class Indians ( ie: 99 % of our population ), “ personal data “ is their only

         wealth, which has remained “ untapped / latent “ so far

 

         If “ Personal Data “ is the “ New Oil “, question is :

         How can we enable an individual to “ Sell “ his ( Census ) data for money ? I have detailed that process in :

                   Digital Dividend from Demographic Data [ 4 D ]

This would be the greatest “ Incentive “ for 99 % of the citizens to keep their data up-to-date at all times, since it would provide a steady monthly income of Rs 50,000  !

[  C   ]     Getting Skills

          Experts and laypersons, all agree that millions of youth remain unemployed since they lack the requisite

          SKILLS 

          Let Census 2021 form , list all the SKILLS for which HR Ministry has developed “ Online Skilling / Reskilling /

          Upskilling “ modules .

          Ask the “ Respondent “ to select modules in which he wants to be trained

          Respondents submitting such personal “ My Training Needs “ data, will get priority for delivery ( FREE ) of

          an AR/VR headset through which he / she can “ access “ these modules. For working details, look up :

          Thank You , Prakashbhai ( Javadekarji )

 

                  

         

[  D  ]     Getting Rewards

         Based on the number of “ Data Updates “ in a year, offer following rewards :

·           Income Tax Rebate

·           Free Wi-Fi access

·           Mudra Loan eligibility

·           Piped Water connection

·           LPG Cylinders

·           Priority in delivery of all government subsidies / benefits ( DBT ) / services

For confirmation, read :

  Seven In Ten Consumers In India Willing To Share Significant Personal Data 

=====================================================================

What would be the “ Road Map “ to  implement this suggestion ?

·          Redesign the Census Form and get wide acceptance of the same

·          Redesign the “ Data Entry “ and  “ Data Edit “ software

·          Design “ Data Access Permission “ software which will enable a Citizen to grant different levels of “ access “ to “ Daughter Databases “ ( see Schematic Diagram below ), by appropriate selection in Census Form

·          Get job portals to redesign their forms , described earlier – as also develop “ Job Alert on Mobile –JAM “ app

·          By Dec 2019 , run a trial ( Pilot Project ) and carry out necessary modifications to Census Form
