Vulnerable Indian Workforce

I made quite a few observations during my recent vacation in the UK and realized that we are using our labour force in quite a futile manner . This a list of places where absolutely no labour was involved and a short description on how it is distributed in our country Fuel Stations  -  They don't have a single person involved in fuel filling we have an average of 15 people (for day and night shift) in every station and lets have a look at the number of fuel stations approximately 56,190 and 56190 x 15 means around 8,42,850 this is approximately how many people we employ in fuel stations . Household maids and servants - Again no household workers in most of the houses in India its approximately 4.2 million or around 42,00,000 . Buses - No bus conductor just the bus driver who prints your ticket and India has around 150000 buses in public sector and conductor in each makes it 150000 bus conductors Street vegetable vendors - None of these everything is available in

India and it's unintentional skip and move policy

I would start this with simple story -- Once there was a boy in Class 10 he failed 4 times .He had lost out on 3 extra years compared to his peers . So he decided to study very hard , this time he cleared not only Class 10 but skipped Class 11 by giving its examination too and passing it ,so he went directly to Class 12 .He again studied hard cleared Class 12 and went on to pursue a dual degree in a college (ie he completed 2 courses in 5 years which most of his friends completed in 6 years ). Now he had gained 2 years and as most of his peers were droppers he was at par with them . Some similar sort of story has happened with India when it comes to technology Think of this : India does not have a single bullet train in service right now and most of the developed countries had it about 2 decades before India . Now think of Hyperloop - The newest transport system not setup anywhere right now and India is one of the first countries to get an offer from Hyperloop One to setup i
