This document proposes reforms to address issues with the Indian political system. It notes that a large percentage of current MPs and MLAs face criminal charges. It suggests quick reforms like mandatory voter ID, limits on consecutive terms and participation by candidates with criminal charges. It also proposes permanent reforms like increasing education, living standards and awareness among citizens to reduce undue influence of money and corruption. Challenges to these reforms include resistance from politicians and the time needed for education reforms. Mitigation strategies include public support for reforms and using different programs to gradually increase living standards.
Government monopolies existed in many industries in India until economic reforms in the 1990s. Some key government monopolies included Indian Railways, state electricity boards, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, nuclear power production through NPCIL, and telecommunications (formerly). The economic crisis of the late 1980s demonstrated the failures of government monopolies in providing efficient services and spurring economic growth. The 1991 reforms privatized many industries and allowed private firms to enter sectors previously reserved for government monopolies.
The document discusses protecting vulnerable informal sector workers in India through social security schemes. It outlines various informal sector jobs, major problems faced by these workers like poverty, casualization, gender inequality, child and old age labor. It then summarizes existing social security schemes and laws, and proposes comprehensive reforms like universalizing coverage, establishing a tripartite National Social Security Commission headed by the Prime Minister, utilizing local governments and organizations for implementation, and financing reforms.
This document discusses the concept of equal pay for equal work from the perspective of the Indian Constitution. It outlines how the concept emerged from fundamental rights and was incorporated into acts like the Equal Remuneration Act. Key cases like Randhir Singh v. Union of India and Dharwad District PWD Literate Daily Wages Association v. State of Karnataka established equal pay as a constitutional goal, finding discrimination in pay unjustifiable unless based on reasonable grounds. The document concludes that while the Equal Remuneration Act prohibits gender-based discrimination, it does not consider other factors like qualifications or define what constitutes equal work, leaving interpretation to the courts. Suggestions include expanding the act beyond gender, explicitly defining equal pay as a

Combating Erosion of Worker and Trade Union Rightseasytocall
This document discusses the erosion of worker rights in Malaysia through practices like outsourcing and short-term contracts. It notes how the right to 8 hours of work, recreation and rest has been amended to allow longer hours. While employment was once understood as regular and permanent, now it is often short-term without benefits. Outsourcing allows employers to avoid obligations to workers by using third party contractors. This undermines unions and worker bargaining power. The document calls for abolishing such practices and returning to a direct two-party employment model that protects worker rights and regular employment.

This document provides advice for what to do when you are not achieving the success you feel you deserve despite your hard work. It recommends:
1) Remaining calm and composing yourself instead of getting angry or blaming others.
2) Talking to yourself daily to reinforce your self-esteem and capabilities.
3) Analyzing the situation objectively without emotion to see if any mistakes were made.

This poem discusses how having hopes and dreams leads one to have conviction and courage through truthfulness, bringing them closer to God, so that whether one's own dreams are fulfilled or not no longer matters as the focus shifts to fulfilling the dreams of others.
For a society to progress, it is important that all types of talent are recognized and respected. However, Indian society has become selfish and only values those who can provide some personal benefit. As a result, many talented Indians go unrecognized or are suppressed, and instead migrate abroad where they can be appreciated. This holds the country back from reaching its full potential. A few exceptions, like Sachin Tendulkar, do not negate the many unknown talented people who are overlooked. Greater recognition and support of talent is needed for India to develop faster.
A woman brought her son who ate too much sugar to one of Mahatma Gandhi's prayer meetings and asked him to tell the boy to stop. Gandhi did not say anything to the boy. Months later, when the woman brought her son again, Gandhi asked the boy about his sugar eating and told him to stop. When the woman asked why he did not say anything previously, Gandhi explained that he used to eat a lot of sugar too, but had recently reduced his intake, so now he was in a position to advise the boy. This showed Gandhi's principle of only preaching what he practiced himself.
Albert Einstein was initially considered a poor student in school because he took time to thoroughly think through problems before answering, unlike other students who responded quickly. When he scored the highest marks on his annual exams, his math teacher demanded a re-exam thinking he must have cheated. However, Einstein achieved the same results, perplexing his teacher. Later, Einstein explained that he took more time to ensure his answers were fully correct from all angles.
The document then discusses how companies often divide employees into categories of "stars, averages, and poor performers." It argues this oversimplifies contributions and that all employees contribute to success if given equal opportunities to excel. Favoring only vocal "stars" can cause other talented staff
The document discusses why citizens pay tolls on major highways and roads in India. It acknowledges citizens' frustrations with paying taxes yet seeing road quality decline. However, it explains that the government's infrastructure budget is insufficient and toll fees help bridge the funding gap. Toll revenues are used to maintain existing roads and build new ones, benefiting citizens. While individuals contribute only 30% of government earnings through income tax, infrastructure needs funding from various sources. The document advocates that tolls are a reasonable way to charge urban citizens who can afford to help finance roads that all citizens use.
This document discusses ways to improve urban development in India. It outlines several issues facing Indian cities like increasing slums, water shortages, traffic and pollution. It proposes solutions like building large apartments to reduce slums, promoting rainwater harvesting and bore wells for water, improving road infrastructure and public transport to reduce traffic and pollution. The document also suggests investing more in services like healthcare and tourism, and utilizing solar energy alongside existing sources to power future cities in a sustainable way. The conclusion emphasizes the need for all Indian cities to provide basic amenities and services to residents of all income levels.
The document proposes building toll-free highways in India by taxing vehicle owners. It suggests imposing an annual tax on car owners for 5 years to fund the construction of 30,000 km of toll-free highways. The tax would range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 10 lakh depending on the car's engine size and model. An estimated Rs. 40,000 crore could be collected annually from the 250 million cars in India. Combined with Rs. 20,000 crore from the government budget, Rs. 60,000 crore could fund 6,000 km of new highways annually. The proposal aims to tax the rich through car taxes while exempting public transport and the poor.
Make In India for the People and by the PeopleMangipudi Rao
The document discusses India's "Make in India" campaign launched by Prime Minister Modi to boost manufacturing growth to 10% and create jobs. It outlines four areas of priority: shifting focus to manufacturing over services; ensuring reliability over affordability; establishing a conducive regulatory environment; and avoiding cynicism. The document argues that people should pay reasonable prices for infrastructure services to build them up at large scale. It also states that investors require a stable regulatory environment and that policies must change over time based on situations rather than sticking to cynicism.
The document provides an overview of the direct tax system in India. It discusses how direct taxation has existed in India since ancient times as described in texts like the Manu Smriti and Arthashastra. The modern Indian tax system is based on these ancient principles. The key aspects of direct tax include the Income Tax Act of 1961 which levies tax on income under various heads. Direct taxes are mandatory contributions paid by citizens and used by the government for public benefits like infrastructure and development. The tax system in India has both central and state level components with both levying various direct and indirect taxes.
This document discusses road safety issues in India and proposes improvements. It notes that over 490,000 accidents occurred in India in 2011 resulting in 142,485 deaths. The majority of accidents are due to driver error, negligence of safety norms, and drunk driving. To address this, the document recommends increasing road safety priorities and funding, improving driver training programs, strengthening enforcement of traffic laws, upgrading road infrastructure, and implementing public awareness campaigns. The goal is to reduce accidents by changing policies and promoting best practices for road and driver safety across India.
The document discusses ensuring world-class civic amenities in urban India. It notes that India's urban population is growing rapidly and will account for 50% of the total population by 2025. However, current civic infrastructure is inadequate, with most cities lacking proper sanitation, roads, transportation and other amenities. Providing housing, water, transportation and managing waste are some of the major challenges faced. A strong, well-managed infrastructure is needed to support this urban growth and ensure access to basic services and amenities.

The primary sector involves activities like agriculture, fishing, and mining that exploit natural resources. The secondary sector transforms natural resources through manufacturing. The tertiary sector provides services to support the primary and secondary sectors. While the primary sector employs the most people, it contributes only 40% to India's GDP, with the tertiary sector contributing more. The document also discusses ways to increase employment in India through investing in agriculture, transportation, education, and tourism.

Random thoughts on economic agenda and priorities before the nationDr. Trilok Kumar Jain
The document proposes radical ideas for transforming India's economic agenda and development priorities. It suggests changing the system of governance, elections, education, technologies, industries, and infrastructure to draw policies from grassroots levels rather than other countries. It advocates for confining the government's role to only defense, law and order, international relations, and welfare. It promotes primary education in local languages by local people. It recommends developing technologies and industries that support small and cottage industries. It also suggests infrastructure changes like pedestrian-focused roads, public squares in villages, smaller irrigation and power systems, and smaller clustered cities and industries.

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure in India: Challenges and road aheadIET India
Charging infrastructure is the backbone for EV adoption in India, in the same way as Internet was for e-commerce. The Government of India announced an outlay of ₹10,000 crore for
FAME 2 to boost the number of electric vehicles in India and a total of ₹1,000 crore has been earmarked for setting up charging stations for EVs. Much of the remaining policy are
behavioural modifications and demand incentives for end users. However, the adoption relies heavily on how we crack the chicken and egg situation of charging infrastructure.
IET’s Future of Mobility and Transport Panel brought together a set of EV infrastructure experts drawn from organisations representing battery manufacturers, fleet operators, charging service providers, fintech firms as well as the Government of India in a bid to articulate current challenges in adoption of EV vehicles in India. Read the report to get answers to your questions regarding: Should fleet owners go beyond their core competency and deploy charging infrastructure or should the government plan for the demand? What will the numbers look like in 3 years? How
can demand load planning be done with the distribution companies? What business models will be successful?

Fraud seems to be increasing, especially by powerful and wealthy individuals. Many large fraud cases have involved high-level executives, both globally and in India. While common people work hard and honestly despite difficulties, those with money and power are more likely to commit fraud due to greed for more influence, wealth, or fame. When fraud occurs at high levels, it often impacts many innocent people as honest employees can lose their jobs or face harassment. Ultimately, taxpayers often bear the costs when companies fail due to executive fraud. Stronger checks and balances are needed to curb fraud by top managers, but honest executives often remain silent out of not wanting to confront peers. Unless those with power to stop fraud take action
Retaining a leadership position requires maintaining brand value, market share, and influence over the business environment. Key factors include the brand, consumers, dealers, and employees. The brand must differentiate the product and build trust, desire, and pride in consumers. Maintaining leadership relies on avoiding attractive new competitors, keeping the brand visible and available, good after-sales service, and choosing the right outlets. Dealers are also important to prioritize selling the brand. Employees must be inspired, motivated, recognized for their talents, understood, and developed through training to handle future challenges. Flexibility is also essential to adapt to inevitable changes rather than facing a slow decline.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going.

2. In spite of abundance of talent available all across India our country has lagged behind by a wider
margin in comparison to other countries. We have plenty of natural resources, vast pool of skilled &
unskilled persons; still we are living in Stone Age in comparison to other countries living standard.
We have a vibrant democracy system but how far it is democratic, we have to understand. The most
important person to run a country is either president or prime minister in any political system which
runs on democratic foundation. In our system, do we elect our country head directly, the answer is
no. we elect Member of Parliament who in turn elect their leader which ultimately becomes country
head but where is our common people role in it. We are not choosing our prime minister, defence
minister or for that matter finance minister. These three positions are of utmost importance as it
directly effects the lives of common Indian citizen still they have no role in it.
I am thinking of a new democratic model in which Prime Minister, Defence Minister & President of
our Country should be elected directly by the people of our Country. They might not belong to any
political party or vice versa. Then there will be Member of Parliament duly elected by us. The prime
minister can choose his council of ministers depending on their capabilities & qualification
irrespective of their political belongings. This engagement will minimize the danger of hung
parliament.
Suppose we work on a system where country head is directly elected by the citizen of our country.
He is elected by people of India directly. There is a simultaneous election for member of
parliaments. After the total house is elected then The elected country head can choose his council
of ministers directly from elected members of the house irrespective of their party affiliation. Even a
defence minister, finance minister & Home minister can be elected directly by the citizens of India.
Once the council of minister is elected the house can start working. In this democratic system the
council of ministers can be selected by country head irrespective of their party affiliation on the
basis of their competency & efficiency. In this system the running of the country should be
empowered to District level. The Member of Parliament would be responsible for Putting up plan for
development in the district & the implementation responsibility would be bestowed upon the
District magistrate.
I feel we should abolish the state system in the country. We should bring the governance to district
level & divide the country into four zone, north, east, west & south for administrative purpose. The
concept of state actually creates lots of hindrance in smooth running of the country. The law &
services should be pan national level. The taxes & business laws should be same all across the
country. If somebody is buying a car then he can pay one time tax & run his vehicle anywhere in the
country. The country should be one cohesive unit where employment, services, education, business
should be pan India basis. By removing state assembly we save hundreds of crore which Indian tax
payer money goes just for the duplicity of governance. We can alternatively think of state concept
remaining in as status quo but the state assembly should be dissolved & no assembly election should
take place. But gradually we should be done away with state concept & every administration or
services should work as one unit on pan India basis.
3. TAXES
We should have tax at source one time. The tax system should be very simple & easy. All kind of
taxes which is prevailing in our country is very complex & cumbersome. Why income tax should be
so complex & difficult to compute. The computation should be very simple & easy one. For example
a Indian citizen who has five lacs rupees of Income. His computation should be a easier one like he
has to pay taxes @ 7 percent. Now his or her tax liability comes around 35ooo/- Now government
can decide a fix rate of saving like 20 , 30 or 40 percent of total tax liability which can be done by
the assesses . There should not be any surcharges or subdivisions which makes the tax calculation so
difficult. I do not understand why we make things so complicated which can be done in much easier
way. Similarly the corporate tax, production tax or service tax should be simpler one. If a company is
in manufacturing & marketing then there should be only one tax which logically should be on the
final sale of the product. Why there should be excise & then sales tax. Because government has
made tax structure so complex, it requires so much of man power to monitor it. Just calculate the
sheer cost of maintaining this work force on the exchequer. You make tax compliance simpler,
people will abide by it & the cost of monitoring would go down drastically.
Similarly the biggest contributor to the economy is transportation. Majority of transportation in our
country is done on road. Just see the plight of truck operator; on a journey at least he has to pay so
many times the toll tax. I do not understand when a Indian resident is buying a vehicle, he or she is
paying road tax to RTO. What is this road tax? For any commercial or personal vehicle the tax should
be one time. It is government responsibility to make roads then why toll taxes are collected. Any
Vehicle owner should pay taxes at the time of buying vehicle & then he can run his vehicle anywhere
in India. Suppose a vehicle owner is transferred to another city then he should not have to either
pay the road tax in the new state where he is transferred nor is he or she supposed to change his
vehicle number.
If any manufacturer is manufacturing any commodity then definitely he is selling his product in the
market. He has to pay excise as well as sales tax. Government should charge onetime tax on finished
goods.
The Sales taxes should be uniform all across country. There should be only Central Sales tax or
national sales tax & state sales tax should be abolished.
If we make tax structure simpler & easy one then we can save crores of rupees which government
spend on monitoring & the same amount can be used for infrastructural development.
4. INFRASTRUCTURE
This is one area where we have performed very badly. The state of infrastructure is absolutely
dismal. The urban infrastructure is almost at the state of breakdown & rural infrastructure has not
taken place with the kind of urgency it should have been. There are four basic infrastructure
ingredients. Public transport, Power management, Utility & Houses. In relation to ever increasing
population we have failed miserably in all these areas. Public transport is in utter shatter. We must
have at least minimum hundred of super highways. We must find a way of alternate source of
energy to run our public transport. In cities we must reintroduce the electric tram system which is
eco friendly in urban cities. We have to build alternate Train routes on all major sectors. Our rail
tracks are getting chocked.
We have so far not explored the river transportation. We must create river canals for passenger as
well as goods transport. India is well connected by rivers & this one source can be explored.
Smaller airports should be developed in b class cities which can be connected through smaller but
safe aircraft. These should cater to cities which are in the range of upto 500 kilometres.
The most challenging job is to redesign the city traffic, city sewerage system, public toilets. Our cities
are going to be exploding one day if we do not take any drastic measures. Just look at the road
traffic, power position, drinking water facility & we will find total failure.
We must do improvements in Infrastructure simultaneously in Urban as well as Rural area.
For Individual transport in short distances we must promote electricity driven vehicle. We must
include the faculty of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering of Indian Institute Of Technology in
developing cost effective Electrical transmission technology for Electrical Vehicles. For surface public
transportation we should think of using law of motion like if there is no External force or resistance
than an object can move on once applied a external force to give it momentum. All the brilliant
brains in our Technical faculties should work on finding simple solution to the very complex problem
of Public transport.
Government should work very forcefully not to allow any unplanned construction or encroachments.
We can think of two or three coaches’ buses or trains which can run on solar power or electrical
energy between cities in the distance of up to 300 kilometres.
Every city should have arrangements to store Rain waters. Any kind of natural resources should not
go waste.
There must be Vehicle free zones in every major city. Up to Radius of Three to five kilometres
crowded areas of cities must be declared vehicle free. There should be parking for vehicles outside
no vehicle zones & either people should walk to their work places or government should use flat
escalators for human movement.
5. HOUSING
Government should encourage reputed business groups to Invest in Housing sector. Government
should promote tax concessions for using bio gradable products for building houses.
Government should promote industries in rural area which is related to agriculture, natural fuel,
fisheries etc. They should give concessions on taxes for promoting area specific cottage industries.
The whole purpose should be sending back the major part of city population to their native place.
This will reduce the burden of big cities which are going to be in anarchy state due to complete lack
of infrastructure in comparison to the ever increasing city population. All the rural districts must
have colleges which teach agriculture science.
Education
The standard of elementary education in India is very poor. Elementary education is one of the key
factors in the character building of any individual. Unfortunately the emphasis is more on bookish
knowledge & that too is done on most impractical basis. First there is acute shortage of elementary
schools in the country. How can a nation be strong when the basic foundation of character building
is in haphazard stage? There are three basics on which elementary education should be based. First
it should emphasize on National responsibility, second it should teach collective growth & third it
should provide a platform where a individual child must explore his or her inner individual specific
characterization or individual specific quality. Innovativeness, quest for learning desire should be
taught. The methodology should be of a very stress free playful nature. It is of the utmost
importance that they should be taught about our ancient history, culture. They should be also taught
about the life & works of great leaders, social reformers, Scientist & educationist. The elementary
education should be provided free by government.
Secondary & higher education
The Current higher education system mainly focuses on academic knowledge & has lost its
importance for basic science.
We must encourage in Higher Education the research in basic science. We must increase the
numbers of student in enrolling for research in different faculties of science. We must start courses
which emphasize on research for finding out solutions to energy problem, infrastructure problem,
Research Is the key for our education. There are two main objectives of providing education one
knowledge imparting & second identifying individual talent & nurturing & developing it so that the
individual can utilize that for his or her individual growth as well as contribute for the country’s
growth.
It must be taught from very early ages that no angel will come from heaven to improve the quality of
our nation; it is we who will have to bring the necessary changes. It is very sad that our brightest
minds have only one focus, how to get a prime job in foreign land & live a luxurious life. Every
6. Person who takes birth in this great country must repay to the country by staying within the country
& contribute to the nation’s growth.
SOCIAL
The biggest enemy for our country’s growth is Caste. This one word is greatly responsible for
pushing our country back from the road of growth. The caste system creates division amongst the
fellow citizen. The caste system creates thousands of different India within India which hates each
other. The caste system allows the corrupt & incompetent politicians, government officers, even a
normal citizen to enjoy the benefits for which they are not qualified. Our political system will never
eradicate this system because this system will allow them to rule the country without doing anything
for the benefit of Indian people. This one sole system stops real talent be getting recognized &
rewarded. When talents are not recognized & supported then how the country grows. Every
institution of our country is deeply affected by this one sole great evil of our society. It is the caste
system which encourages evils like Dowry. This is the responsibility of our younger generation to
eradicate this great evil. I suggest that the column of caste should be abolished from application
form in any kind of services. Only nationality, first name, parents name should be mentioned in the
application.
Reservation is the offspring of the Evil caste. The system of reservation should be abolished.
Government should provide the education absolutely free to weaker section of our society.
Government should put all the efforts to make an individual literate but no individual can claim right
to any kind of position by virtue of reservation. Reservation has to be abolished from the country
absolutely. How can one be a pilot, Doctor, engineer, or for that matter politician just because he or
she comes under reserved category.
I think the government should eradicate the system of Surname column from Employment form.
The Government should encourage Inter caste marriages & protect the younger generation who
believes in Inter caste marriages. Here Government has to be careful that any attempt by any
individual to take advantage of this situation to propagate his or her religion & trying to impose one
religion to other individual by way of force or cajoling must be strictly dealt with. Marriage is a union
of two hearts & minds definitely not the replacement of religion from one to other. Government
should ban any public religious sermons. Religion is a very exclusive individual faith or belief & it
should remain an individual right.
Security & justice is two very important aspects of any social civilization. We have been miserable in
these two important aspect of social & democratic society. The justice system in our country is
deplorable because justice delayed is justice denied. We simply do not have let alone leave enough; I
would say adequate number of civil judges. Looking into our population the number of judges &
lawyer should be at least hundred times more than what it is today. There has to be a separate
faculty for studying the art of judgment in higher academic institution. I would rather suggest it
7. should be merged with Indian Administrative Services. The number of Law colleges should be
increased where specialized courses should be taught on the finer aspect of Law & judgment.
As far as Internal security is concerned, I feel total overhauling of system is urgently needed. First of
all there should not be any borders for policing based on geographical areas. India must have
national police & it’s area of operation should be pan India without any hindrance. Police should be
answerable to a board which is a mix bag of judges, eminent citizens, representative from
government & Civil servants. The appointment has to be done by Police service commission under
the guidance of police board. There has to be service roll call for police personals. There has to be 8
hours shift for police personal which is to be on rotation so that no police personal has to sacrifice
his or her domestic life. How can we expect good response from a person who has worked
continuously for thirteen fourteen hours? There has to be a salary up gradation for police
personals as they are very poorly paid looking into their nature of job.
Police is to be divided into different categories but they should interact with each other on regular
basis.
There should be a national police who is responsible for policing in City & Rural areas. Then there
should be Highway police who is responsible for protecting the national highways. Then there
should be Railway police whose job is to protect the Rail commuters. Then there should be security
guards specializing in protecting the eminent citizens like prime minister, defence minister. There
has to be a very clear guide line in constitution that who is liable to get security cover & who not.
Not any politician can ask for security cover. When every citizen of our nation is under security
threat from terrorist & they are not provided any security guarantee, a politician has no moral right
to get any security cover. The department must have redressel forum where any grievances of
police personal should be hear & understood. Police has to be make independent unit taking
orders only from there Board & commission. The police has to work like a independent unit as
Election commission is. All the different units of police should be integrated with each other & in
constant communication.
