India and its unique challenges for lack of research funds and incompetent professors who bank upon the research papers of their students. Apart from a few institutes that truly do ground breaking research like ISRO, DRDO, there is a dearth of innovators. In any major economy, there is always a next big thing, those who have vision they could see those things manifesting before others, and they work towards it with a goal, implementing it, then there are early adopters which jump on the train for the maximum gains, consider these are your angel investors or lets just say, people who believe in those visions. The institutes which are giving results now, are not just because of a statesman being vocal about local, rather than more of the people who founded these organizations, who truly believe if you have to make a quantum jump in anything you need to innovate before others. A day has twenty hours, and it is the same for everybody, whether you are a developed economy or a developing one. If you think you can make your employees slog for 80-90hrs/week to achieve being a developed nation. You are not only hallucinating, but you need to go back to the primary school where they still teach young kids about the story of an axe and chopping wood. There could be plenty of reasons for the same, most of the business or political leaders have their children access to the best resources of the world, so there is not much at stake for them in nation building. For two or three days, they hype things up to appease their puppet master and stay in business. But these are everyday business as usual for a large country like India. You have to work with what you have and make the best out of it. To push the research capabilities, there are two very prominent indicators, first necessity is the mother of innovation. And secondly, is everybody capable enough to be in research? Research requires a lot of funds, patience and perseverance with no certainty of results, which is not feasible for a country like India where there is an excess load on the exchequer just to doll out freebies every spring season, just to stay in power. India misses out its own strength to do this research because it can’t put the money where the output is most probable. Fragile egos or lackadaisical approach it can be anything or both. To funnel out which candidates are capable of research there is a very specific quality that can be seen with the help of Jyotisha (Vedic astrology), people can work according to their strengths rather than hoping and watching motivational videos, where some snake oil salesman in suit, will tell them ‘Yes you can.’ Eligibility for this program extends to those between the ages of 27 and 42, inclusive. The website screens all candidates through their natal birth charts. Candidates input their details, and the system searches for specific placements to produce a green or red output. If it is green it is good for the program, if it red it is rejected. Once that done, around three lakh candidates can be chosen as the pilot project for 35 months duration. Each of them will receive 15000INR/month as scholarship to pursue their own skills that they choose, whether it is tech or a trade school or arts or just anything under the Sun they want to do. If they are already employed then also they can choose to participate, nobody needs to know, not even their employers. After each seven months there will be a walk in interview to assess their progress for record keeping. The interview panel consist of three people one astrologer, one psychologist and one domain expert. Say, if someone skills are in automobile then you have the domain expert on that. The other two panelist are self explanatory. The panel members can be hired on contract basis or paid as per the number of interviews done. The entire data being kept in local servers provided by the service company who will take care of the overheads of implementing the website as well as the disposal of funds to the trainees bank accounts, India’s own AADHAAR would help in this case. After 35 months the scholarship ends and there will be three list; green list, grey list, black list. The green list can be hired by talent requisitions or they could start their own venture and respective funds can be provided. The grey list would be a waitlist that will be ‘first in first out’. So, if someone from the green list leaves their spot, it goes to the waitlist and finally the blacklist who will be barred from any services or future projects. This mode will compel the candidates to learn self accountability as well as the knack for their passion. There will be a two way feedback system between candidates and panel interviewer to assess their judgement as well. So that they can be also put in the same three list. These process will effectively filter most of the candidates and give the jump start that the Indian economy needs.
