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?"

With regards,

PRODEVSYS

TEMPLES OF MODERN INDIA ?



In July 2014 , Rangrajan Committee defined the " Poor " in India as , following persons :

*  In Rural areas ............. those whose daily expenditure was Rs 32 or less

*  In Urban areas............ those whose daily expenditure was Rs 47 or less

That methodology placed below poverty line ( BPL ) , 363 million persons

Recently ,  NITI Aayog  has come up with a cut-off point of 40 % of the expenditure curve , which places 484 million Indians below poverty line ( 48.4 crore persons )

Now , if NDA government were to close down / shut down 53 loss making Public Sector Units ( PSUs ) , it would save , Rs 53 Crore , DAILY  (  Approx Rs 20,000 Crore every year )

That is a little more than Re 1 / - per poor person per day

Not much to feed his / her starving stomach

But enough to take out for each of them , that Medical Insurance , announced some time back , with much fanfare  !

Now , if NDA government were to sell off the assets of these 53 loss making units ( mostly the land on which these are situated ) , it may even succeed in raising Rs 10,000 crores

It is high time NDA starts working for the poor , instead of paying Rs 20,000 monthly salary to a few thousand workmen , who have no work and pass their time playing cards on the shop floors of these factories  !

If you have any doubts re my statement , just ask any TV channel to send an investigative reporter with a hidden web cam on the shop floors of these factories  !

You will see the pathetic situations of , what Pundit Nehru liked to call , these " Temples " of modern India

Temples from where the " Gods " of Productivity have left and parasite " Poojaris " reign supreme !

How to conquer Corruption ?



There is only one sure - and superfast - way to get rid of corruption

By introducing :

*  NEGATIVE  MOTIVATION

    Putting behind bars ( - and right away ; not after 6 years ) , every corrupt fellow and
    immediately confiscating his ill-gotten wealth

*  POSITIVE  MOTIVATION

    By abolishing Personal Income Tax and introducing Amnesty Scheme , incentivize

      #  converting of black money into white

      #  acceptance of all payments thru official channels


As far as providing " Negative Motivation " is concerned , I had sent following suggestion to our Hon Prime Minister / Finance Minister / other Ministers / Secretaries etc , on 4th Nov 2015 :


#   INTERNET  OF  THINGS ( IoT )


     As each currency note of Rs 500 / 1000 , is getting printed , embed it with microscopic
     RFID chips ( with this , current cost of a RFID chip will fall from 50 paise to 5 paise )

     Besides communicating with each other , these chips will also transmit their existence
     location , through internet , to cloud-based servers of Income Tax Department

     This will form a " NETWORK  OF  CURRENCY  NOTES ( NoC ) "

     You may like to call this Internet of Currency ( IoC ) , a sub-set of IoT  !



#   IP ADDRESS  SYSTEM ( IP V 6.0 )

     Each Rs 500 / 1000 currency note must be assigned ( at the time of printing ) , its own
     unique Internet Address , using IP V 6.0

     This IP address should be linked with the unique Serial Number printed on each note.

     Since IP V 6.0 , will be capable of assigning   " 2 * 10 to the power of 128 ", no of  IP
     addresses , there is no danger of running out of addresses , even if we decide to extend
     this idea to Rs 100 currency notes !


Here are the most important BYE - PRODUCTs :

*   No more possibility of fake / forged / counterfeit , currency notes

*   No thief would ever want to steal such currency notes which continuously announce their
     location

*   No one would want to make any " Cash Deal " . All payments will become official only !

*   Plastic currency notes will last 10 times longer !

    
    
This reform will enable the Central Government / Income Tax Department , to :


*    Continuously trace the movement of each of these higher denomination currency notes


*    Instantly locate any place ( using Google Map based GPS ) , where there is an
     accumulation of more than Rs 1 Crore worth of currency notes

     Such accumulation will be made to appear as a TAG CLOUD on the web site of IT Dept,
     like thousands of balloons floating on a map of India , capable of being drilled down to
     within 1 Sq Meter  ! Of course , visible only to IT officers ; not to general public !

     On each balloon , will appear a number announcing , " Amount of Cash here - Rs " !

     This will vastly simplify the task of Anti Corruption Dept / Enforcement Dept etc
Of course , RBI will need to allow 6 month's time to the owners of current paper currency notes of Rs 500 / 1000 , to get these exchanged with new plastic notes before withdrawal of the old notes from circulation

Implementation of this suggestion , does NOT require passing of any BILL in Lok Sabha or being held to ransom in Rajya Sabha !

And it can be implemented in India , within ONE YEAR

But if Chinese President Xi Jinping comes to know about the practicality of this suggestion , he might implement it in 6 months  !

How come ?

Simple !  Xi Jinping has the political will  ! And no historical baggage  !

Self Serving Servants ?

Legislators are supposed to be " Servants of the citizens "

They are - but with a difference 

In case of our domestic servants or employees in our offices , we get a chance to settle their salaries, through " bargaining / negotiations "

And deduct salary for absenteeism

And sack them for non-performance

In case of our MLAs ( and our MPs as well ) , they too settle their salaries through " Collective Bargaining "

Not with the Speaker , but collectively among themselves !

You may even want to call it , " Colluding / Cooperating Bargaining  " !

The only element of " Competition " is with the salaries of MLAs of other States !

Look at the basic Monthly salaries ( excluding perks / benefits / allowances ) of our MLAs :

*      Assam...........................................Rs   60,000
*      Jharkhand / Haryana / HP............... Rs   30,000
*      Punjab..........................................Rs   25,000
*      Karnataka..................................... Rs   20,000
*      Rajasthan..................................... Rs   15,000
*      Delhi........................................... Rs   12,000
*      Uttarakhand................................. Rs   11,500
*      Chhatisgarh..................................Rs    10,000
*      Kerala..........................................Rs      1000

Now , MLAs of Delhi discovered their relative ranking in this " Pecking Order " and decided ( unanimously , of course ! ) that they must raise their salary to Rs 50,000 , in order to " Jump the Queue " and occupy position # 2 

As to what will happen next , your guess is as good as mine !

Irrespective of their political affiliations , all MLAs belong to ,

"  A  Mutual  Admiration  Society  "  !

The only way we can put a stop to this " Self Service Circus " is by :

*   Writing a " Job Description "  for our MLAs and MPs

*   Introducing " Objective Setting and Targets " 

*   Followed by  " Quarterly Online Performance  Appraisals " by voters

*   Enacting an electoral reform called " Right to Recall "

Delhi in Doldrums ?



A few days back , Delhi Government decided on odd / even driving rule for private cars in Delhi , from 1 Jan 2016


There was a lot of criticism

That was followed by National Green Tribunal , stopping registration of all diesel cars


More criticism

Yesterday , Supreme Court ordered to stop registration of diesel cars above 2000 cc , for next 3 months . SC also stopped entry of diesel trucks into Delhi . It also wants to double the " Entry Tax " on diesel vehicles


Earlier , some Ministry ( or was it RTO ? ) , banned all trucks ( whether Petrol or Diesel ) older than 15 years from plying anywhere in India , after 1st April 2016


Some 27 lakh trucks off the roads , at a time  !


What is happening ?


*   Is Supreme Court trying to take decisions which are purely " administrative " in nature and which should have been taken by the concerned administrative agencies , years ago ?

But never got taken because of vested interests or fear of being unpopular ?

Is this " concern " for only Delhi pollution , because the SC judges have to travel on Delhi roads and breathe that polluted air ?

Is that a Supreme Court of India or of Delhi ?

In the eyes of SC , are citizens of Mumbai / Chennai / Kolkata , lesser citizens  ?



*  Is Delhi Government using the excuse of some High Court order to prove " Holier than Thou "  ?

What about other - and worse - polluting factors such as Construction dust , Yamuna which has turned into a veritable gutter , burning of garbage etc ?

Is Delhi Government waiting for High Court orders in each case , before acting ?



*  Does NGT think that Delhi deserves banning of diesel cars because Air Quality Index in Delhi has crossed 350 ( safe index being 60 ) but other cities do not deserve such action till they too , cross 350 ?

 After all , they are at AQI of only 250  !

What is their hurry ? Can't they afford to wait till their pollution becomes life-threatening ?


Will someone file a PIL in Supreme Court for the poor people of " rest of India "  ?

How to save Rs 5511 Crores



The Election Commission has over 9 lakh EVM ( Electronic Voting Machines )


After 15 years of usage, these need to be replaced


So , EC plans to buy 14 lakh EVM , at a cost of Rs 5511 cr


Each EVM costing Rs 39,364


Now , EC can save this amount ( and even earn Rs 20,000 cr ! ) , if only it spend Rs 5 cr to develop , the  Mobile App :  VotesApp : , which , in effect , converts every smart phone into a miniaturized / personalized , version of EVM  !


Those curious to know how VotesApp will work , may look up :


www...hemenparekh...in...homepage...2013



Vote will get recorded only when that Voter takes a Selfie - which will get matched automatically , with his Aadhar Card photo 




After reading , you may even want to file a PIL in Supreme Court for this Electoral Reform !

Our Poor MPs !



Now , they have a legitimate reason to pass a resolution , raising their salaries by 65 %

GST  can wait  !

How else can they make two ends meet when current food prices ( listed below ), in the Lok Sabha Canteen , are about to be revised upwards by 65 %  ?


*   Tea...............           Rs      1.0

*   Soup..............          Rs      5.5

*   Daal...............          Rs      1.5

*   Meals.............           Rs     2.0

*   Chapati...........          Rs     1.0

*   Dosa...............          Rs     6.0

*   Veg Biryani......          Rs     8.0

*   Fish................          Rs     13.0

*  Chicken Biryani......... Rs     51.0

*  Shami Kabab.............Rs     14.0

*  Thali........................Rs      18.0


Mind you !  They are not asking for salary revision of 400 % , like the MLAs of Delhi Assembly  !

And to enable them to " make both ends meet " , should we not allow them to take home  from the Lok Sabha Canteen , a " Packed Dinner " , for the rest of their families ?

So what if the annual subsidy paid to the Canteen contractor by the Government  , goes up from Rs 14 Crores to Rs 40 Crores !
