===================================
What data, one Ministry may consider " Non-personal ", another Ministry could well treat as " Personal "  !

Even for a given Ministry, over a period of time, with rapidly changing technology, that " Non Personal " could   become " Personal " , and vice-versa !

There is a debate raging on how to REVIVE the ECONOMY

01 Sept 2019 Of late, there is a debate raging on how to REVIVE the ECONOMY , which has been slowing down for the past 4 quarters Having been a Manufacturing Engineering for over 30 years, I know how difficult it is to " accelerate " factory processes , even in the face of a huge unmet market demand for your products It takes , months and years to build up capacities , even if FUNDS ( easily available Bank Loans ? ), are no problem So , is there a way forward to accelerate the ECONOMY ? Yes, if only our Netas , do not hesitate to take some OUT-OF-BOX decisions , mentioned here : MYBLOGEPAGE.BLOGSPOT.COM Towards Nasscom 2.0

Imran Khan threatens nuclear war, 'consequences for the whole world ' if Kashmir issue is not addressed

31 Aug 2019 Imran Khan threatens nuclear war, 'consequences for the whole world ' if Kashmir issue is not addressed Read more at: https://lnkd.in/f2UHCeP ==================================== And after decades , some Indian Netas have started saying : " Our bilateral talk ( if any ) with Pak will only be to find out when Pak will quietly handover PoK to India . Nothing else " Of course, Imran is right to say ( mean ) : Nuclear war is NOT a solution ! I suppose, Indian politicians agree . But do they have the courage to bluntly tell the World, people and politicians of both India and Pakistan , that the only way to avoid a Nuclear war is to accept LoC as International Border between India / Pak ?

Towards Nasscom 2.0

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/ites/digitalisation-is-now-forcing-nasscom-to-reinvent-itself/articleshow/70928079.cms

Highlights :

INDIAN IT BPM INDUSTRY IN FY 19 { Y-O-Y growth }

# Revenue…………………… 6.1 % [ $ 177 billion ]

# Exports……………………. 8.3 % [ $ 136 billion ]

# Domestic Inflow………. 7.9 % [ Rs 2.9 lakhcrore ]

# Employees………………… 4.3 % [ 4.14 million ]

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

Way back on Aug 01, 2017 , Business Line carried following article :

Brain Inc 2.0

Highlights from my related blog : Brain Inc 2.0 / 21 Aug 2017 ]

* 5 lakh ( 500,000 ) engineers work in “ Tech R&D firms “ in India

* $ 22 Billion was the worth of their work in 2015-16

* This will nearly DOUBLE to $ 40 Billion in 2020

Now consider this :

· By employing 5 lakh engineers , India’s “ Tech R&D Firms “ earned $ 22 billion . That works to a billing of $ 44,000 per man-year of R&D ( Export of Services )

· I presume that the “ Manpower Cost “ constitute approx. 50 % of Billing Rate ( rest being OVERHEADS and MARGIN )

· Hence , Indian R&D firms must be paying an average of $ 22,000 per year to its employees ( approx. Rs 1.2 lakh per month )

· As against this , both , Indian as well as American firms pay ( on an average ) , $ 88,000 per year to H1 B visa holders

[ Current Scenario in Aug 2017 , as per Shri Keshav Mrugesh- Chairman, NASSCOM :

“ According to a research by HIS Markit, average wages for Indian IT professionals in the US was nearly $ 94,800 , while Indian companies paid $ 96,300, he says. This demolishes the myth on low wages “ ]

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

Now with the disappearance of this “ Cost Advantage “ which existed in 2017 , is there a possibility to do better than the projected earnings of $ 40 billion in 2020 ?

My take :

It is possible if the Central Government considers following suggestions :

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

It is high time our Policy Makers launch a new initiative ( of Export of Intellectual Property ) , called :

INDIA : the BRAIN FACTORY of THE WORLD

Dear,

Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji ,

Shrimati Nirmala Sitharamanji,

Shri Prakash Javadekarji and

Dr Harshvardhanji ,

With a measly 5 % GDP growth in the latest quarter , it does not seem possible to REVIVE the ECONOMY , by focusing on MANUFACTURING

Given the urgency of such a revival , SERVICE SECTOR acceleration is the only answer !

And , right now, that happens to be : IT BPM ( including IT hw/sw R&D export )

I urge you to consider my suggestions ( listed in above-mentioned blogs ), for your next OUT-of-BOX reform announcement
