NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD

The recent spate of accidents in India, ranging from infrastructure failures to transportation mishaps, highlights a critical need for systemic safety reforms. The recurring theme of non-compliance with safety standards and disregard for legal requirements for financial gain is alarming. It underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in the aftermath of such events. While the government's response often includes compensation and promises of investigation, the lack of public disclosure regarding the findings and subsequent actions undermines trust in the system. I suggest establishment of a National Safety Board  with aim to   mitigating such tragedies. This board could serve as an independent body dedicated to the prevention of accidents and the investigation of incidents that result in loss of life. By encompassing safety design, system implementation, product testing, and accident prevention, such a board would not only work towards safeguarding citize...

PERSONAL UPGRADE AND HAPPINESS

  PERSONAL UPGRADE AND HAPPINESS Personal growth and the pursuit of happiness are enduring themes in the quest for a fulfilling life. There is a robust framework for understanding the elements of well-being and happiness. This model suggests that five core elements contribute to a person's well-being: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishments . By fostering these elements, individuals can create a life that is not only happy but also deeply satisfying. Positive emotions extend beyond mere pleasure and include a range of feelings from gratitude to serenity, joy to interest, hope to inspiration. Engagement refers to a deep sense of involvement in activities that challenge and absorb us, leading to a state often referred to as 'flow'. Relationships are crucial for well-being, as humans are inherently social beings, and strong connections with others provide support, love, and a sense of belonging. Meaning comes from serving something larger th...

TACKLING UNEMPLOYMENT-MY VIEW

  How is an unemployed person concerned with GDP, or share market or statistics, he is more concerned about his ability to find a meaningful source of living. He requires all our attention as he is the product of an inefficient system. Over the years both ruling, and opposition parties have skirted the issue of unemployment. The issue has been discussed with electoral advantage, not as utilization of our human resource dividend or find a long-term solution. The spirit of discussion is adversarial, not as a team to solve the problem   To my mind Jobless ness is national problem involving active participation of both the centre and states and the unemployed. There must be division of responsibility, between the centre and states accountability’s so that there is no blame game. While the central government can be a facilitator of economic growth, the environmental aspect is the responsibility of the state responsibility. The factors contributing to joblessness in a coun...

BLAME GAME

  The structure and composition of the Board can be further elaborated. The Board should have members who have extensive expertise and experience in designing and implementing safety systems and processes in their respective domains. The staff could be recruited from various sectors, such as railways, armed forces, aviation, maritime, road transport, etc., as well as from scientific and academic institutions. We have a pool of qualified and dedicated professionals in India who can form the core team of the Board. I believe that this initiative would greatly benefit the nation by saving valuable resources and reducing human suffering.

GREY WORK FORCE

  The discourse on the 'Grey Work Force' (GWF) in India highlights a pivotal issue in the realm of human capital utilization. While India boasts a demographic dividend with a substantial workforce across various age groups, the challenge lies in harnessing this potential effectively. The GWF, representing experienced professionals aged 45 to 80, remains an underutilized segment despite their wealth of knowledge and expertise. Integrating this cohort into the workforce could significantly contribute to economic growth and societal well-being. It necessitates a strategic approach to manpower planning, encompassing skill enhancement and thoughtful deployment, ensuring that the experience of the GWF complements the vigor of the younger generation. This synergy can lead to a more dynamic and productive population, ultimately propelling India towards achieving its full economic potential and fostering a more inclusive society.

JOBS .A COLLECTIVE EFFORT.

 Lack of jobs and unemployed youth have become a political slogan, more to benefit narrow, parochial interests of political parties and news material for media. Their concern does , not  benefit the   youth on the street. To my mind an unemployed is a product of an inefficient system. The system should have provided, employability upgrade, &thereafter deployment of the trained human resource. Apart from upgrade equally important is bringing attitudinal change in society, wherein accepting renumeration for hard work is a norm and not employment without accountabilities (Govt Jobs).At the same times society respects a person engage in honest work.  With rapid growth in growth of new smart cities and tier 2 &3 cities, the gig jobs (limited education and limited experience)will increase at very fast rate. I feel the local administration should be tasked to improve employability in terms of attitude and skills. Quality being monitored by independent assessor ...

TALENT UTLIZATION FOR MSME GROWTH.

 The word job has become passport for opposition parties to gain mileage for the next elections. The problem is acute. I have not yet seen any material to find a solution to this problem. I would like to share my thoughts on the job process. And growth of economy.  My preposition is that until and unless MSME’s, feeder industries do not have a sound structure to utilize the resources, and upgrade resources periodically, there can be no economic growth and the job creation and talent utilization will suffer. Time to think of providing a common platform for providing solutions for HR, Finance, Design, and other problem associated problems being faced by an individual entrepreneur.
