Job Problem or Wage Problem

Some interesting facts were noticed recently through some business news and thought about it . If we can see the most imp challenge today ...it is Unemployment .But is it really ? In Maharashtra , from that matter , a young boy from Osmanabad decides to come to Mumbai / Pune . Can he get a job ...Answer is Yes . It may be in IT or in Swiggy or Amazon delivery or in Samsung service center . But he is going to get a job . To take this one step ahead , we can comment that India has a Wage problem .Some one can give a name Underemployment .There are different types of Wages - Gross Wages and Net Wages , Real Wages and Nominal Wages ,Govt Wages and Private Wages .Example - If you want to appoint a diploma holder in Mech engineering , he will demand different salaries at different locations .May be 8000 in Gwalior , 15 000 in Gurgaon and 18000 in Mumbai . Now if compare the business model of 3 firms in these 3 cities , you will notice a vast difference . So we need to look at unemployment problem from different perspective . India has around 70 million enterprises , out of which 12 million do not have office , 12 million work from home , 12 million only pay indirect taxes , only 20000 enterprises has paid capital above 10 crore .So to increase the wages , we need to increase the productivity , to increase the productivity we need to have structured enterprises . That means , Industrialization and formalization of Human capital of Enterprises . India has only 25 % of Formal employment . Now total workforce of India is around 60 crore . Only 15 crore Indians are formally into jobs . Remaining 45 crores are employed but have a huge Wage problem . Lastly , our youth is scrubbing between 4 issues - Lack of opportunities , Lack of Suitable opportunities , lack of Employment and lack of suitable employment .

Chodo Delhi ….. Chalo Delhi.

Hi Friends,

We have been brought up with these two slogans in school curriculum.

First was by Mahatma Gandhi and Second was Netaji Bose. Occasions were different, situation was different but objective was same … To kick British out of India. Same Situation is strangely arrived today. Object is same …Delhi … Old name …Indraprasatha. Capital of Pandavas!! Scene is more challenging and hence we need to introspect. In today’s contest, it is imperative to say Chodo Delhi to “Polluted Air “.. and Chalo Delhi to  “Fresh Air …”

You know - Article 21 of Indian constitution has given Right to have pollution free Air to all citizens of India and what the hell …we are making to our beloved place. A place of history from centuries , a place of Dream for so many , a place of Intellectuals from many decades , a Power Centre , A great city which exhibits a half of Indian Culture , almost 7 states .

What is Progress, for whom, for what...Have we ever asked these questions to ourselves. What is the definition of joyful Life? Now if we apply these points to Delhi’s pollution crisis, we arrive to few findings .These observations will held true for Mumbai also by 2030 and for that matter, 4 suburbs of Mumbai will be vanished under the sea by 2050. By the way … this is not Whats app news .These are findings from NASA.. Vinobaji Bhave, a great pupil of Gandhiji, has a world famous statement ….IF YOU EAT LESS …YOU WILL EAT MORE. If you eat less quantity. You will be in position to eat for more years. All human problems are zeroed down to this statement. Eating is just an example. The crux remains same for all issues.  Why to blame farmers in UP, Haryana and Punjab for burning the pethas. Are we aware about a kind of money required to purchase the machines to cut the roots of crops. Be it any political party, have we ever tried to see this problem holistically? We have n no of so called intellectuals in IITs and in Medical institutes. Have they did enough research in the last decade about heath care, carbon emission, Coal factories, Industry waste, Vehicle emissions. A big NO!!

 Most worried side of India is Clever people are detached from societal issues and we think rural people are fool.  Delhi and Mumbai will collapse in next decade completely. Arise, Awake!! If we travel just 100 kms down to Delhi and see …next 500 kms till Indore in MP, there is enough vacant land. Had anybody thought to shift the center of NCR towards Central India? For how many years, we will run behind so called Joy and Satisfaction, which is actually a poison. Are we enough educated to keep our needs limited .One great mission ahead is to Make our villages Independent. Once we do that, there is no need to talk about 1 trillion economy. Happy life for all is the real Economy!! There is no end to this topic. Now in China, we see a giant Air purifiers like boilers situated at all key junctions in Metros. We can see those in Delhi, may be in next couple of years. Where are we moving? Do we have a right to give birth to next generation? Can we ensure they will live for at least 6o years … Let us take a pause!!
