Three examples come to my mind :
* Delhi
Government banned Uber and Ola , because they did not have some
permission (
or , maybe they were resorting to Surge Pricing - something
which
Airlines have been doing for years with impunity )
* In Bangalore,
the local transport authorities stopped some entrepreneurs
to start the service of Motorbike Taxies (
Goa has it for decades ! )
* In Mumbai , local
transport authorities stopped APP-based private buses
which had
permits to ferry passengers only from point A to point B , without
stopping en route
to pick up other passengers ( How come school buses
are permitted
to stop every 100 meters to pick up children ? What is the
big deal ? )
All of these makes me worry about the spirit of Make In India !
I am not saying that , in the name of encouraging Entrepreneurship
, we
should give a free rein to anyone to engage in a
service where lives of
passengers are
at stake
All I am saying is :
Frame some minimum simple rules / regulations to govern
such services
All entrants must comply with these rules
But let innovation and imagination flourish
Don't discourage young person to become " Self
Employed "
That was exactly what Shri Nitin Gadkariji did about a
year back when , all of a sudden , somebody in Delhi decided that electrically
( battery ) driven rickshaws are not rickshaws !
May be , when Motor Vehicle Act was passed decades ago ,
no one envisaged a battery driven vehicle !
So , what do we do ?
Instead of amending that Act , just stop the PROGRESS
?
But Gadkariji is not only a very practical person , he
is also a visionary
So , he told the babus to amend the rules and enabled
eco-friendly rickshaws to ply
Dear Transport Commissioners :
I am not asking you to close your eyes , nor to bend
the rules
My only request is : Wherever needed , frame new rules
- and quickly too
And if required ( based on experimentation ), change
rules with time
When it comes to encouraging ENTREPRENEURSHIP / SELF -
EMPLOYMENT , I hope you will be the god-fathers of India's youth
