Pune KarmaYogi Sanghatna

There are more than 5,00,000 (five lakh) people who work in the informal sector in Pune city alone. These are the people without whom Pune would come to a standstill. Unfortunately, most of these people are not formally educated or skilled, which makes life an economic struggle for them.

We propose to set up a Pune KarmaYogi Sanghatna. This association is for all those who are self employed and who work in the informal sector. The aim of the Sanghatna is three fold

1) Bring these KarmaYogis into the formal benefits scheme of the country eg Jan Dhan, Ayushman Bharat, Upskilling, PM Awaas Yojana, etc

2) Stop exploitation and harrasment of these KarmaYogis from criminals and powerbrokers.

3) Create a grievance redressal mechanism for the KarmaYogis.

Today, we have the technology option to do such a program in a cost and time effective manner. Using 5G and the India Techstack, we can create an app that is easy to use. This PKYS app can then be used by the KarmaYogis to access all the services mentioned above.

When a KarmaYogi onboards themself (linked to Aadhar) through the app, they automatically get a registration that lets them work or continue their work/profession in Pune, without any hassles or harrasment. In case of any issues, they get access to educated professionals, who can guide them and resolve their issues.

This model of PKYS helps not only connect the brains and brawn of Pune but also enables the KarmaYogis to work with dignity and advance economically in life, which in turn reflects into our city and society being a more cohesive and prosperous unit.

Easy To Do Reforms 2

Here are two measures that need to be implemented urgently in our country. They will benefit the country tremendously. Make India Secular Today India is secular in name and non-secular in reality. A secular country is one where there is no majority and no minorities. A secular country is one where the Govt does not interfere in the daily functioning of religious, cultural and social organisations (unless a civic offense or criminal act has taken place). A secular country means that all religions are subject to and must follow the law of the land. A secular country is one where the citizen can choose the method of disposal of his/her corpse without bothering about the consequences of social boycott for their family. A secular country is one where no individual is forced to follow a particular line of thought. A secular country is one where no proselytization takes place. A secular country is one where there is no religious police (or private enforcers) to force people to follow a

Taluka Towns

Taluka Towns Taluka Towns - what are they? Our definition of a Taluka Town (TT) is a town or inhabitation that lies in a semi urban setting of the country. A TT encompasses what is known as a Tier 3 and below town, census towns, rural agglomerations etc. We can safely say that a TT has a population of anywhere between 10,000 and 100,000, away from a large urban local body and has a lack of basic amenities and municipal services. This lack of services leads people to leave these TT  and come and join the urban poor in the cities in search of both economic opportunity as well as basic services. If we look at TT as an opportunity for developing a mini economic engine, a whole new economic revolution can be kick started. Our game changing plan is based on the premises that providing housing units along with the corresponding municipal services can lead to an economic resurgence. This way not only will we solve a major demeaning headache but also generate multiple employment op

After the Lockdown

This bio attack on India will pass by. Damage will be done, lessons will be learnt and we will carry on with resilience. The following suggestions will help the country to come out of the lockdown in a better manner. 1) Continue with Community Kitchens The lockdown has showed that the lower economic strata struggles when it comes to basic essentials and food. What the middle and upper economic strata take for granted, is a daily fight for those from the lower economic strata. Post lockdown NGOs, civil society groups, companies should carry on with their lockdown activities of providing ready to eat meals to all those in need. This should be done for at least six months, which will give the people in the needy strata enough time to bring back their lives to normal. After six months, we can review the benefits and costs of these community kitchens during and post lockdown. The Govt can provide grains direct from FCI godowns to those organisations pro
