Since she presented her budget on 01 Feb , Shrimati
Sitharamanji has been a subject of praise and criticism for her many proposals
You heard about these in newspapers / TV debates
Unfortunately,“ no budget can please everyone “ .
Just
look up newspapers of past 70 years
More unfortunately, none of the
critiques offered alternate
proposals !
Fortunately, there was one announcement which echoed my past suggestions
( sent as emails ) – and will ensure that non-gazette posts in the government
gets filled on the basis of MERITS
Here is how Times of India ( 02 Feb ) reports that
announcement :

Dear Shri Jitendra Sighji
Congratulations for this reform which has far reaching
consequences for improving governance
FIRST STEP :
Common Eligibility Test (
CET ) Score is only the first step in the ELIMINATION PROCESS ,
considering that , currently , some 80 – 100 persons apply against a SINGLE vacancy ! There is no way you can interview
100 persons for each vacancy . You need to zero-in on , may be 10
SECOND STEP :
To shortlist – and offer
APPOINTMENT LETTER to ONE candidate , out of ( may be ) 10 who , currently get “ Interviewed “, face
to face , across the table
This is , not only a very
time-consuming process but has elements of personal biases / prejudices
I urge you to “ automate “
this second step as follows :
Ø Eliminate face to face interviews
Ø Conduct these interviews ONLINE , employing
technology described hereunder
Ø Eliminate bias / prejudice , through online
VIDEO interviews
Ø Conduct as many online interviews as desired simultaneously ( even 10,000 at a time )
Ø Create a panel of ( subject-wise )” interview experts” ( may be 1 LAKH ? ), who will conduct these online
interviews from the living rooms of their homes ( no need for infrastructure )
Ø Candidate will not know who is the interviewer/Interviewer
will not know who is the candidate

Extracts
from my past E Mails ( suggesting ONLINE TESTING / INTERVIEWING of candidates ) to Cabinet Ministers / Chief Ministers / Niti Aayog
etc :
Extract :
# Job-Alerts / Resume-Alerts
on mobile
# Online Job Fairs ( including Online
Interviewing )
# Common shared database of ALL job-portals of
India
# Mobile App - " Job-post " ( to enable 65 million MSME to post their vacancies )
{ Currently, no MSME advertises on any job
portal – whose subscriptions are very high
and
, unaffordable by these MSME, who may need to fill just one vacancy per year }
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract :
CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP ?
# Sure ! The answer lies in " Online Jobs Fair " - a
job portal with a difference !
# An " Online Jobs Fair " , does
NOT suffer from the following limitations of an " Offline (
ground-based ) job fair :
* No physical space limitations . Unlimited
number of VIRTUAL INTERVIEW CABINS can
be created on the fly
* Unlimited numbers of jobseekers and
recruiters can come ONLINE , at any given
Instance ( millions, if you will )
* Since this platform also enables
FOREIGN COMPANIES to interview INDIAN
CANDIDATES , such interviews can take
place round-the-clock !
This platform will vastly improve overseas
recruitment of Indian jobseekers
* Thousands of INTERVIEWS can be going
on SIMULTANEOUSLY, in total privacy (
from
anywhere in World )
* 4 interviewers ( belonging to same
company ), located in 4 different cities , can
interview the same candidate jointly by
logging in at the same time in the
same INTERVIEW
CABIN ( password protected entry )
* Neither the candidates nor the
interviewers need to travel , saving millions of wasted
man-hours
* Interviews can be pre-scheduled and
candidates will be emailed in advance , when to
log into which cabin.
The SCHEDULER SOFTWARE will do this
automatically
* Candidate Assessment Forms will get
filled in ONLINE and made available
to concerned
candidate by email
* Offer letters ( or Offer Intention Letters ) or
Rejection Letters will get emailed as soon
as CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT form gets mandatorily
filled in online !
* Company Display Boards will be
visible to ALL visiting jobseekers to decide which jobs
to apply for
* Resume Rating software will
automatically " rate and rank "
resumes of all candidates
applying against a particular vacancy and
arrange applicant-resumes in descending
order of " Raw Score " and send out Interview Schedule to
shortlisted candidates ,
without human intervention
* All online interviews will take place
using Audio-Video chat thru Skype /
FaceTime (
from Smart phones )
* All interview " Conversations
" ( questions and answers ) will get recorded and made
available to candidate being interviewed for
his study and improving his " Interviewing
Skills "
There are many other advantages , not listed above but
which you can read at :
Should Ministry of Labour desire , I would be happy to design /
develop and hand-over such an online platform without any charge / fees ,
provided ,
# Labour Ministry hosts and maintains it
# Makes it available for use ( by Recruiters and
Jobseekers ) , FREE OF COST
Neither the governments ( Central + States ) , nor the Organized
Sector , is in a position to " CREATE " 12 million jobs per year
.
By creating OnLineJobsFair ( a kind of Virtual
Employment Exchange ) , we can help our youth to enter Job Market of entire World
Last ( but not the least ) :
OnLineJobsFair will enable
millions of young Indians to offer their " Remote Services " to
Foreign Companies !
Services such as " Coding " / " Caring " /
" Consulting " / " Curating " /
" Controlling " etc
It may even become a " Business Meeting "
platform !

Extract :
TCS
iON , a unit of Tata Consultancy Services, plans to deploy this
technology for eliminating cheating !
HERE IS HOW :
Ø Launching its
Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) driven Command Centre in Chennai, which
will monitor in real time, 6000 of
its examination venues, across the country
OBJECTIVE :
Ø Fair conduct of
exams with transparency of the exam operations
METHODOLOGY :
Ø Monitor the exam
process through a set of 150 parameters
Ø Prevent, predict
and post incidents as alerts for efficient management of the exam
Ø Track movement and
devices carried by every candidate at any exam centre, via a live CCTV
feed
Ø Predict the
readiness of the Centre based on past incidents and the current live feed of
events in the exam centre
Ø Issue alerts about
any malpractice attempts based on the learning from the malpractice patterns of
the past
Ø Track the readiness
of all the devices being used for conducting the exam, by leveraging TCS’s
IoT framework
Ø Issue proactive
automated directions for any observations that warrant immediate action through
instant alerts against anomalies like exam interruptions. Unusual behavior on
server or candidate system and the performance of the devices being used for
the exam process
Ø Students
appearing at TCS examination centers, do so on a computer screen
Ø No two students
have the same questions in their exam papers and for each student, the exam
paper is instantaneously / randomly generated on the fly, from a vast data bank
of questions of similar “ Degree of Difficulty “
Ø There is a time
limit for solving the online paper
Ø As soon as the time
gets over, the SCORE [ result ] is flashed on the screen, along with a
rejection letter or an ( provisional ) “ Appointment Letter “ – which, the
selected student must “ accept “ online and immediately
-----------------------------------------------------
In India, hardly a week passes without millions of students
appearing in exams being conducted by schools / colleges / Institutes / Prof
Bodies / Exam Boards etc
Then there is Railway Board conducting paper-based written exams
in thousands of exam centers, all over India, for millions of job-aspirants
Ditto with Indian Association of Bankers
And each of these is susceptible for cheating / paper-leaking /
heart-burning and injustice to bright students
Lakhs of crores of rupees and billions of man-hours and millions
of tons of papers are wasted
All of this wastage of National Resources can be saved, if
only Shri Prakash Javadekarji,
requests TCS :
Ø To
share its technology platform to the entire Education Industry , for FREE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POST SCRIPT :
Instead of using only
640 CET centres ( at each district ) , I strongly suggest that Government
considers using 255,798 CSC ( Common
Service Centres ) , already set up
