Times of India ( 25 July )
carries following report :
“ Driverless tech will leave millions without jobs . won’t allow it :
Gadkari “
Highlights :
·
India will not allow driverless cars to
ply on its roads, transport minister Nitin Gadkari said
·
The minister added that focus of the
government is to create more jobs to arrest unemployment
·
He
said there is already annual shortage of about 22,000 trained drivers in India
Shri Nitin Gadkari announced that the
Ministry would launch a single mobile app for booking all kinds of vehicles –
car, autos, e-bikes and e-rickshaws , which will end the monopoly of Uber and
Ola
Gadkari
said the government will provide a app-based platform where anyone who wants to
start a cab business, can register and run vehicles
“ Why should two companies like Uber
and Ola have a monopoly in the market ?
We
want people , even those running cab business at a small scale , to have an
equal opportunity to provide service to people .
The
mobile app will provide a platform to such people , and better , efficient and
cheaper cab services , to people “ , said Gadkari
The
Minister said people will have many options to choose based on the most
economic operator
Shri Gadkariji seems to be telling the Un-Employed of India :
“ Government cannot provide employment to 12
million persons , every year ,
but here is your chance to get Self – Employed
Government’s job is to facilitate people to get into business , for
themselves “

ReplyDeleteShri Gadkariji should face the reality of driver-less cars - and not block it - to keep pace with the global reality. We have to think of alternative sources of employment for likes of drivers.
