WHY DO WE ACT SLOW?


As per news reports about 65,000 nos PPE kits imported from China have been found sub standard and rejected by India. What is that prevent us from manufacturing such things in India. Recently some Indian medical scientists from Kyoto, Japan with the help of a professor and students from IIT, Roorkee have developed Covid 19 testing kits with 99.69% accuracy. These kits give 100 images in about 3.5 seconds and the operational cost is too low. Someone from Kerala has developed low cost ventilators. Another one had developed low cost sanitizer spraying equipment.

There are many such items that can be manufactured in India and exported to many countries. It is the central and state governments to take the lead and pool the resources. There are many qualified youth in this country who can take up the production of these things. Government need not spend any money. Proper guidance and marketing assistance should be provided by the government.

There is no meaning in preparing statistics to show our unemployment percentage, low pci, downfall of GDP, unstable economy etc and making long oratory in seminars. We must use the opportunity as and when it arises. This is the ideal time that we should manufacture and export all Covid 19 related treatment items, PPE like disposable masks, gloves, protective coverings, footwear etc. Unlike China, if we make quality goods with reasonable price our people can earn considerable sum and it will be a service to the people world over at this hour of peril.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
