JOBS NEED TO RETHINK

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 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...

  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...

  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.

  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.

 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 ...

 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.

 Economic activities in smaller Indian Cities are on the increase. More Stors ,Malls ,Insurance companies, financial institutions are opening offices. The problem is creating Job Fit for the young job aspirants so that they can improve their chances of job selection. Presently there are limited opportunity for personal growth at affordable /free basis  My initiative to upgrade knowledge in respect jobs is likely to be on the increase in the local area of job aspirants.

 We all want to grow. We want our families to grow, our community to grow and most of all our Nation, National growth ensures the availability of resources to all sections of our society and stability in governance. Growth will ensure a better quality of Healthcare, Education, and Economic well-being for all of us. Our aim should be to ensure a better life for ourselves and future generations.  While we dream about the future, we let our rights overshadow our duties and responsibilities. We look to enforce our rights and do not care about the larger impact on society, whose well-being is essential for overall growth. The social influencers including media and politicians have their own axe to grind. The first aim of social influencers is to discredit governance. This could be any party in power. My humble take is that any ruling party will work for the betterment of all of us. We should expect a satisfaction level between 75 to 80% from governance. To my mind, we are part of o...

For me, next to Profit, Jobs is a holy word. Jobs defines a person's life, his sense of well-being, and survival of body and soul. A contented job holder is an asset not only to one's own self but to society, as he spreads the feel-good factor. How will you define a job? Is it a 9 to 5 presence, with no question asked and a paycheck at the end of the month? To my mind under /unemployed person is a victim of neglect by an inefficient system. While I do not advocate a right to a job, I do recommend state and society's responsibility for proper mental growth to make an individual basic job capable. I strongly feel that a "JOB READY ' syllabus must be mandatory. This entails exposure to certain processes. First is the 3 R's  ( Reading, R'writing, and R'arithmetic .)  essential for basic education, second is skill-based exposure, then upgrading to a competent analytical mind relevant to the place of work. and a non-prejudiced mind.  The 3 R's should be a...

                                                                  NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD Every time an accident occurs, apart from sorrow in the nation and families of victims, there is a loss of National Resources. While we attribute the luck factor to the occurrence of an accident, we cannot ignore the fact that the accidents are indicators of system inefficiency. The system inefficiency gets transferred to nameless people and their relatives. After the occurrence of an accident (Road, Rail, Air, buildings, Mining, etc) the usual reactions take place. The actions include face-saving and drawing political mileage. Asking for resignations and blaming the government. To assuage public opinion, often, an inquiry is ordered, and ex-gratia payments or visits to victims' houses take place. Let us now start with the investigat...

 Identify a target, ignore his contribution, and work in public service and invent blame. Supplement your limited knowledge, by searching on google. You are ready for a new journey of glory. Glory was acquired without any investment and facts to back the charge; Next step is to identify the influencers. The influencers should be able to create the multiplier effect and should gain by stating the charge with a straight face. It could be print or visual media, or an ignorant group willing to listen to your histrionics. The more sensational the charge, the greater number of influencers would be attracted. You are providing them with raison d'être. The more you master this game, the higher you will go in the hierarchy.

The composition of the board is normally from a safety organization. In some cases, a judge is appointed. Can you expect impartiality from serving officers? Would any officer find fault with his own organization? In the i...

JOBS .NEED TO RETHINK Lack   of jobs, a favorite topic everywhere, from drawing rooms to streets of India. Simplistic conclusion arrived at. Popular being blame the central government or any other soft target. This favorite activity leads to creating false and misleading one sided versions .The same are then disseminated .Thus root of problem is not addressed and only short term methods are adopted to assuage criticism. Due to this short sighted approach, the sufferers are youth of India. They are aspiring for meaningful life    and the solution is not being addressed in totality. The problem requires a long term solution. Solution requires deeper understanding of total problem. To my mind there is structural mismatch in preparing the work force for future meaningful utilization The utilization perspective hast be of 30 to 40 years The system of education and skill development requires a long drawn effort ,in which all the constit...
