2. Social Insecurity : We have about 394 million people under the tag of
informal workers, who do not have a job to depend upon. In a way, 86% of
our workforce is temporarily employed without any job security.
Non-existent records : No such records to separate them from
organized sector and provide them with special benefits. Adding to this,
updating and re-analysis of these records hasn’t happened since 2011 [ for
BPL]
Lack of Basic Amenities : Due to no records, policies made in their
interests lay insignificant as definition of the informal sector couldn’t be
formulated successfully.
Out dated Eligibility for BPL : In 1990-2000 BPL survey, person having
below Rs. 15/- day was below poverty line. In 2011, it was raised to Rs. 32/-
day. But given the approx 29% downfall of rupee within the past 1.5 years
and current inflation rate at 5.36%, the BPL eligibility doesn’t seem prudent.
It has in a way depicted decrease in number of people below poverty line,
whereas in reality, income hasn’t grown proportionally with inflation. The
poor is still same or worse, but statistics speak otherwise.
Social Effect of above problems: The above mentioned problems, over
multiple decades have caused this section to be satisfied with what they get
i.e. actually nothing. Their acceptance and our ignorance has compelled
these people who contribute 50% to our national product, to go unnoticed
and work all their lives just to survive one more day.

6. Companies above a certain size to ensure that they spend at least 2
percent of annual profits on corporate social responsibility (CSR)
activities
LAW PROPOSED:
We are in favour of it,
Though ,we suggest certain amendments in the law:
GUIDELINES SPECIAL FEATURES
Any time the company may appeal to be a
part of the ISRC.
Any Company may also add his
investment(2% of the profit) to the
investment being made by ISRC in that
area
The companies will be allotted areas according
their own location and profit value
For the allotted area the government would
prepare a list of the high-priority needs
(maximum 3)of society and provide it to the
Company
Company is excusable from CSR and these
duties if and only if the company doesn’t have
any gross profit. Operational loss is not to be
considered a reason.
7. Amended CSR Act- - - - CSR in parallel to ISRC

If they fail to do either of the above, they’ll be subjected to raids, and all other exercises that normal
organizations face. Likewise they’ll booked under the IPC for illegal money holdings, if not accounted
for.
8. Approximately 35 Percent Of India's 260 Million People (A Group Almost Equal To The Entire

10. A STEP TOWARDS ACHIEVING
MACRO-ECONOMY(3 GOALS):
FULL EMPLOYMENT:
Self Help Group , Paid Jobs
For Maintenance Of AHS
Buildings, AHS Hospitals , Paid
Volunteers Of ISRC
STABILITY OF PRICE:
Production Of Different Materials By Self Help Groups.
Here Unemployment Decreases And Promises To Remain Minimum.
There Is An Occasional Reduction In Taxes And Vat Rates For Certain
Companies Which Also Increases Their Production
1) Too Much Productivity Of One Type Of
Material Will Bring Down The Market Of That Product
Rather Than Enhancing It. So, Economic Growth Comes At Stake.
SOLUTION:-For This, We Can Try And Produce The Goods
Specific To An Area , In That Region’s Self Help Groups. This
Way The Product Will Get Used Up Mostly In The Area Itself And
That Too At Cheaper Rates As No Transportaion Or Excise Or
Inter-state Taxes Will Apply.
IT IS SAID THAT ALL THREE GOALS
OF MACRO ECONOMICS ARE NOT

ADVANTAGES CHALLENGES
ECONOMIC GROWTH
As Rate Of Production Increases Economic Growth Also Increases, As
Living Standard Increase, Scarcity of basic amenities becomes Less of
a Problem
OTHER BENEFITS:
1.Reduction In Child Labour.
2.Ensure Education For All.
3.De-centralisation Of Services, Which Allow Actual Financial Help
And Services To Reach The Needy(And Remote Areas), Not Through
A Filter But Directly Through A Funnel Like Structure.
2) The Initial Setup Stages Of The Database And The Committee
Will Require Quite Some Amendments And Introduction Of New
Policies Which Will Take Time, Effort And Money.
SOLUTION: The Solution To This Setup Stage Issue Can Be A
Trial Run On Smaller Scales Which Will Be An Example To Our
Lok Sabha And Rajya Sabha Representatives Of The Effectivity
Of The Plan, And Thus Will Require Almost No Debate Over It’s
Efficiency. We Must Do Trials To Draw Conclusions. Population
Off Over A Billion Cannot Decide Their Future Upon Debates.
IT IS TRUE TO SOME EXTENT IN THIS CASE
TRADE-OFFS IN GOALS

11. WE ACTUALLY NEED TO INSTILL A SENSE, A WILL AND A HOPE IN THESE PEOPLE
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE PILLARS OF THIS NATION. THEY ARE THE GRAIN
PRODUCERS, THE WEAVERS, THE SHOPKEEPERS, THE SWEEPERS, ALL THOSE JOBS
WITHOUT WHICH THIS NATION CANNOT DREAM OF GOING AHEAD, AND THAT IS WHY
THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
SO , ITS HIGH TIME THAT WE TAKE CHARGE AND MAINSTREAM THEM AS TECHNICALLY SPEAKING,
THEY PRODUCE MORE THAN 50% OF OUR NATIONS PRODUCT
A DIGNIFIED AND HEALTHY LIFE FOR EVERYONE , IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT
WE NEED TO ACT. TO ENSURE.
