Government cities turning into ruins


Listen Later

  • India was and still to some extend a socialist economy. After independence almost, every Industry was taken by Government.
  • In the book about Tata, the decades after independence a lot of Tata companies like Air India, New India assurance were taken by governments.
  • In early 90s India started to moving towards Capitalist economy, with Govt selling stakes in all loss making public companies.
  • In the past 30 years a lot of small, medium and large Govt companies we shut down and employees given VRS.
  • My father used to work for a PSU called BHEL and i grew up in Government Quarters. These quarters were common in so many cities.
  • But once the 5th pay commission was applied and Govt employees started earning a lot, slowly everyone constructed their own houses. These colonies were abandoned and now are completely ruined. There are only walls remaining, door and windows taken away by robbers.
  • Plus most big govt companies like BHEL now have only 20% of employees, with rest been done by other private factories.  So, now those extra quarters are not required and whole colonies are abandoned. When i go back to my old colony, it feels like a Ghost town.
  • Now, what government is doing is completely right, as they cannot sustain loss making Government units for long. And in the next decade a lot of transition will be over.
  • It started with TATAs getting back their baby(Air India). So, the common people have to understand that government jobs will shrink and lot more private jobs will be created.
  • But private jobs are paid on skills and trends. You have to have the correct skill and know the trend. These skill can give you a 50 lakh per annum SDE job or can make you an entrepreneur like Ishan Sharma earning the same amount. Or else you will stuck in a 15K low paying private job.
