Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Congratulations, Sabeer ( Hotmail ) Bhatia

 


What for ?

For attempting to re-write the rules of Online Recruitment Industry

 

Can you be specific  ?

Following report tells all :

What is Showreel ? Things you should know  /  Mobile Indian / 17 Nov 2021

Extract :

Showreel is a new video messaging platform for job seekers which Sabeer Bhatia has launched.

Showreel basically aims to enable employment and upskilling opportunities for job seekers globally. It just operates in a virtual environment instead of the real world.

The app brings job seekers and companies on the same platform and creates an impact. The app generally simplifies a person’s hiring process with video resumes rather than just a textual resume.

Job seekers will be able to create professional videos of themselves in response to questions posed by mentors or hiring companies. The app then stitches these responses together to create a professional ShowReel.

The professional ShowReels will enable job seekers to market themselves and get their dream jobs.

Gone are the times when people used to send their resumes via email to the companies for jobs. Thus, this app will help companies, as well as this will cut down their recruitment time.

The company says that ShowReel will leverage AI to analyze collected data and drive actionable insights for the audience in its next phase. In the coming times, they will empower people with conversations and opportunities beyond employment and upskilling.

Dear Sabeer,

Showreel has not re-written the “ Rules of Online Recruitment “ game

But, it has the potential to do just that if it quickly evolves to implement :

 OnlineJobsFair

 a completely automated online platform where thousands of Video Interviews ( Skype / Face-time etc ) , will take place simultaneously

Dear Sabeer,


But, if you agree with me that “ Jobs for All = Peace on Earth “, then you may want to launch following WEB 3.0 portal, which :


Ø  Duplicates on millions of servers of companies around the World, MIRROR IMAGES of billions of resumes ( “ Resume Databases “  which are identical and get synchronized every morning ) – with each of those servers, DONATING and RECEIVING, resumes that each “ Participating Company “ receives through e-mails, every day .


Ø  Will obsolete the current JOB PORTALS ( each of which store millions of resumes and monetize their resume databases, through SUBSCRIPTIONS ). With my suggestion, no company need to look / search beyond its OWN SERVER to fill any kind of vacancy !

Agri Reforms : an Ongoing Process

 


Context :

Panel announced by Modi will propose next reforms: Tomar  /  TOI  /  20 Nov 2021

 

Extract :

 

Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar, involved in 10 out of 11 rounds of talks with farmers, on Friday said the intention behind legislating the three farm laws was to bring "revolutionary changes" in the lives of farmers but the government was unable to explain its benefits to a section of farmers.

 

He, however, sought to keep the possibility of reforms alive and mentioned how the formation of the committee, as suggested by PM Modi, would come out with suggestions for future reform measures.

 

"I am pained that we failed to explain benefits of the farm laws to some farmers," Tomar said.

 

He had earlier held on to the position that the government was ready to amend the laws and there was no point in repealing them.


Tomar said the committee announced by the PM to look into the issues of 
MSP would include;

 

#   representatives of central and state governments,

 

#   farmers and

 

#   scientists,

 

and its recommendation would, hopefully, be beneficial for farmers.

 

Inset  Block :

 

  I am happy with the announcement today.

 

I emphasise that C2+50 % is the core of the reports of the National Commission on Farmers

 

The future of our agriculture depends on the impact we can make on three fronts :

 

Ø  Production

 

Ø  Procurement , and

 

Ø  Prices

 

These should be attended to concurrently 

 

M S Swaminathan


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


My Take :

 

Dear Shri Tomarji,

 

It is said , “ Well begun is half done “ and you have begun well by adopting a “ Participatory “ approach

 

I urge you to consider including in the proposed committee, other stakeholders such as :

 

#   A few Opposition members of Lok Sabha

 

#   Some representatives from Industry Bodies like ASSOCHAM – FICCI – CII etc,

 

#  Some eminent Professors from leading Agricultural Universities

 

#  Some representatives of AGRI-INPUT manufacturers ( Machinery-Fertilizers-

    Pesticides-Seeds etc )

   

You may want to frame the TERMS of REFERENCE for the proposed Committee, ( sub-committees ? ) to submit their time-bound ACTION PLANS ( no mere RECOMMENDATIONS ) in respect of :

 

#   Methods to increase YIELD / ACRE of various crops

#   Gradual Change-over to NATURAL – ORGANIC fertilizers

#   Use of Solar Power

#   Digitization of processes of Procurement

 

The proposed Committee may be asked to evaluate the feasibility of my following suggestion :

 

Influence farmers and win Votes ?.................[ 04 Feb 2019 ]


Extract :

 

We need technologies which will, dynamically / automatically, compute for each crop ,



#  the costs of all the INPUTS (water-fertilizer-seeds-power –labour ), based on

     NORMS


#  “ Output “ from the area of land owned by these farmers ( in Kg )


MSP ( since INPUTS will vary from crop-to-crop and area-to-area )



#  transfer the amount to Jan Dhan bank accounts of each beneficiary farmer (

     DBT )

 

It is possible to get our constellation of 7 NaviC satellites to “ map / geotag “, each and every farm ( with a resolution of 1 meter ) and calculate its area


This can be verified by using technology offered by…. what3words

 

 For each type of crop, INPUT NORMS are already established, using historical data

 

OUTPUTS NORMS ( kg / acre ) for different crops, are statistically established figures


“ Agricultural Crop Assessment “  is being offered by Planet , BlackSkySatellogic

“ Humidity Sensors “ developed by Dr Shalini Prasad

 

As far as CROP INSURANCE is concerned, Remote Sensing Satellites are already being deployed




 

I realize that experts ( agriculture and economy ) might laugh , if I urge Shri Modiji :



Give our Scientists and Software Engineers a chance to develop such a TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM , based on the following matrix , which will ensure DBT to our farmers , within 24 hours of pre-determined EVENTS or DATES or CABINET DECISION ANNOUNCEMENTS , without the delay and arbitrariness of “ human intervention “
