3.         Employment to millions of our countrymen

            we are all concerned for the poor and unemployed citizens of this country. How to eradicate poverty and unemployment ? Is there a way to solve this burning problem ? I have envisaged a project to help eradicate poverty from the land of India which is given below :

            having travelled the whole of India and more than 50 countries of the world during the last 26 years. I had the opportunity to see for myself different facts of life in our country as well as other industrially developed countries. While is developed nations an average person is earning more than Rs. 20,000/- per month in India the per capita miserably low resulting into millions of our countrymen living below the poverty line. A question came to my mind why it was so when god has given the same two hands and the same mental and physical capability to all the human beings. We are at per with people of any other country in the world but still the fact remains that our per capita income is among the lowest in the world.

            in my observation, the following are the reasons for this deplorable situation :

1.         Lack of a sense of nationalism.

2.         Lack of moral values in our society.

3.         Lack of initiative and a burning desire for improvement.

4.         Inadequate use of modern technology in industry and agriculture.

5.         Lack of proper training to individuals to doe their job in the best possible ways.

6.         Lack of sufficient funds.

To cure these basic maladies in the shortest possible time, say four years, an Aladdin's chirag has to be found so that our country’s per capital income can be doubled.

Modern technology can act as Aladdin's chirag at least to some extent in ways which can be elucidate in the following manner.

Extensive and intensive efforts should be made to impart training to train at least 50 million persons every year with the best knowledge available in the world in 1000 different fields of trades, industry and agriculture with the help of electronic media i.e. Satellite, video and TV. technology.

Merely providing a job or help by giving funds to a person will never relieve him from the curse of permanent poverty and unemployment, because such a person will lack proper initiative and viable technical eco-friendly know-how.

We cap certainly give highly remunerative job opportunities and business to more than 200 million of our countrymen within a period of 4 years. “co-operative movement” in the country should play a dominant role the creation and utilization of human resource of our country.

To fulfill this grand aim of eradication of poverty, the following action plan is proposed :

1.         Setting up of 1 million videos along with colour TVs all over the country from Panchayat to university levels. This vocational video training programme will be run after school hours in the same school buildings or any other available public or private buildings.

2.         Setting up a national TV. channel hook-up with satellite to be run 18 hours a day exclusively for this purpose (with 10 channels).

3.         Making of 100 video films on all possible jobs, trades, small industries, agriculture etc.

(a)        (i)        establishment of training centers at Panchayat or tehsil levels.

            (ii)       simultaneously, industries must be obliged to create training courses in their respective industries to provide technical training to 10% of their labour strength drawn from dependants and relatives of their own employees and provide them stipend of Rs. 250/- per month as a part of their social obligation. The trainees of such industries shall, however, be obliged not to claim forcible employment in the said industrial unit until and unless he or she is so needed for effective productive use by the unit. This specific restriction will allay fears harbored by industrial units of over-employment and loss of production per capita by the units in the interest of economic viability of any commercial/industrial activity.

(b)        employment, one million technically trained instructors for this purpose, giving them training in methods to instruct and teach through these videos, together with training in running, repairing and maintaining TV sets and video sets. These instructors will also be trained to spot proper talent and desire in the students and guide them to adopt vocations of their choice.

(c)        the instructors would be responsible for imparting practical training and where necessary would refer the trainees to bigger training centers to be established at district level. After completing of video and practical training, the instructors/supervisors would help the trained persons to embark upon a career, which may be self-employment, cooperative set up or a job.

(d)        the basic thrust of the programme will be to help the unemployed or semi employed to acquire a technical skill through which they would benefit financially through a job or self-employment.

(e)        creation of training centers and employment of instructors would immediately utilize the human resource of a growing number of unemployed engineers and other skilled personnel of our country.

4.         Publication programme of 200 newspapers and magazines on 1000 trades and industrial opportunities to bring continuous and up to date latest knowledge to all the interested people.

5.         Preparation of detailed video instructions manuals for each of these vocational training courses synchronized with videos for counter members. These video training courses will shorten the time required for getting practical training by 80% since their conscious and subconscious mind has been fully exposed from beginning to end to the latest technical know-how in their chosen vocation.

6.         Setting up of 1000 practical training centers for students, after they have finished their three months intensive training. This is very essential to provide them first hand practical training.

7.         (a)        setting up a national video channel like vividh-bharti which will broadcast the new national TV. programme in regional languages with lip synchronization simultaneously with TV. programmes, so that even a person sitting in a remote village of Bengal, Assam, Tamil nadu, Kerela etc. Can listen to the programme in his own mother tongue.

            (b)        all these vide cassettes will also be voice dubbed in all the major languages of India along with respective instruction manuals.

            (c)        such video programmes would be made interesting and exciting with the help of person like shri ramanand sagar and shri B. R. Chopra who have great command over producing such serials which could touch the core of the heart of a viewer. In fact, i have already talked to shri ramanand sagar about the project and he is ready to cooperate fully for this national cause. Thus, people all over India will be induced to watch and learn through TV and video programmes with full concentration and enthusiasm. This will help them to learn new skills to stand on their own feet.

A team of the vide film producers will travel all over India to study the potential and requirements of different parts and to other selected countries to acquire the latest technology and know-how in each of the vocation which can be adopted easily in our country.

8.         A pool of scientists and businessmen will be created to find out and invent ways to integrate these technologies into Indian situations.

9.      Fund resource of the project: It will be made pa part of the more than Rs. 4500 core per year existing several rozgar yojana of the government of India, so on new funding will be required.

10.    Management of the project: Execution of the project should be undertake by ministry of urban employment of & poverty alleviation, govt. Of India, but supervised by a consortium of government agencies, big business houses, trade union, non-govt. Organisations (ngos) like rotary club, red cross, boy scouts etc. To get best possible management available in the country.

(custom and excise duties are not included as this programme is of national importance and for educational purpose).

            this programme is of prime national importance; the running expenditure on this scheme will be Rs. 2,300 crores. The details of the programme with expenditure are given below :

Details of running expenses for a year

(rupees in cores)

1.       One million instructors (part time) @ Rs. 20,000/- per annum each	2000
2.       2000 cameramen for betacam professional video camera @ Rs. 50,000 per year and other costs.	10

7.       Internet connections for 1,00,000 colleges and university classes @ Rs. 5000/- each per year	50
Total	2300

 

The basis of the above calculations :

            how 50 millions persons will get job training every year and how it will cost less than Rs. 500/- per person ?

¨      One video TV. set will teach a class of average 15 persons for a duration of two hours every day for three months.

¨      2 classes of 2 hours duration each day.

¨      4 new sessions will start every years.

15 persons each class

X 2 classes of 2 hours each day

X 4 sessions per years of 3 months          =          120 × 1 million sets

15 x 2 x 4           =          120 million students

Less                   =          70 million multiple

                                       causes and drop outs

                                       50 million trained

                                       persons per year

            50 million persons will get training every year with a cost of Rs. 500/- per person. Therefore, 50 million students x Rs. 500/- per person = Rs. 225. Crores.

            it would be in the national interest to discuss and examine the project in its entirety at various levels, so that this gigantic programme of national importance could be started immediately.

            golden India foundation will be glad to implement this project without any charges with the help of intellectuals and business houses within a time-frame of 180 days.
