What is Happiness Index?

What

Date  – 6th Feb,    Venue – The  Vile   Mumbai

WAT –  Teacher Training Programme in India has not been effective in  No effective teachers are being produced Through  Training  It is better to stop all these Training  and  save public money to build Toilets and infrastructures in Schools.  Analyze and  argument ……etc

Panel 4 –  Professor 1 ( Anirban Das )  Professor 2  ( Not Able to find )

P2 – So, Anup you are a production how production engineering is different from mechanical

Told ( There are few Papers  that are more managerial that we study in 7th and 8th Semester )

I am not asking about but as an overall role they

  Mostly Production Engineers are handling role that mostly relates directly to production like production supervisor  or even in PPC their role comes …..LiKE in my company   mostly these roles were  given to a prod. Engg. ( I was exception )

Ok, So u were in

No, sir I was in working as Training Manager.

Ok, What u were Doing?

Me:  Explained them in detail about how motion study was used in training to reduce skill conversion

What is that skill conv??

Me: Sir, it is time taken to convert a trainee into operator ( Conversion of Skill level )

Can you tell me what are the types of yarn?

Me: It depends on Count ( I.e Thickness of fibre is called count ) Varies from 1 to 100.( Can varie more)

Can you tell me how variability in yarn can be dealt with variability in production?

  Stuck ( Blank )

Did you understand my question …?

you repeat that….

Ok, tell me what are variabilities in yarn that comes?

only the thickness and initially some mixing into play  other than this if you are taking dyeing into it was not done in our plant.

P2 : Laughingly , Ok dying was not done there ?

Me: sir only yarn manufacturing.

What about Arvind Look towards P1 laughingly

Sir, I don’t have any idea about Arvind mills but they are also in textile and Vardhman is the major leader in yarn industry. (  Later I came to know Arvind is in Ahmedabad )

 Asked one more question related to what parameter to look into Fully automated ( Don’t remember exactly )

Me: but was corrected by

P1 comes into play

So Anup you have written that you are looking for some data to agree with ( Referrin to WAT )

Me: Yes, sir as I think without proper we are mere giving

But what you will do with that they are chunk of numbers?

Me: Sir, We all can share our opinions and views in to day life but taking such decision of stopping training programmes  without any sound data analysis is vague.

P1: What data are you looking for?

Sir, I would say  what are the % of students getting failed in schools % of teachers passed/failed through these training programmes.   

But still how data can  help you in making

Me: I would like to add one point that recently a data was released by aspiring mind  showing unemployability among  80 % of engineer ……this figure 0f 80 make us think that problem is grave and engineers are not getting job ……if the same figure would have been 10% or 5 we don’t bother much…data’s are helpful in understanding different scenario..

Tried to question again but  P2 came into play …

Do you think so many engineers are not getting ….there should be  some training for professors of engg. Colleges?

sir…There is a need for that…( Confidently )

(Smiles)  Why you think so?

the education is not job oriented even lot of my peers after getting faced lot of problems  in  their job  as they felt what they are learning  should have been done in college like I myself faced   of problem in learning excel as most of my work was related to data and  I was not  good with that……

(Going completely out of the track) But most of the parliamentarians  are given training but yet it is dysfunctional?

Sir, I think two opposing parties would never like to agree on to same views

You are also giving opinion now……how can you say that..?

Me :  Sir, we can look for data in this case also.

P2: Ok , What data u will look?

  What number of bills were passed /not passed …..blahh…..

(seems satisfied)Ok, data of republican and democrat will be helpful in this?

Me: it can be…

Ok….Anup u was working in L&D …Can happiness be taught?

it can be but mostly comes from inside.

Which is the happiest country in world?

Switzerland.

Ok, What is happiness index?

Me: Sir, Not sure about it.

P2 : So did you guess?

Me: I studied about it somewhere …and about its measurement but was not .

Which neighbouring country of India follows this index?

P1 gave then I guessed Bhutan.

I can see you published a paper in international Journal ..what was that?

Me: Told

P2 : Ok, There is one more paper that you presented individually in some International Seminar…Where it was held?

Me: Sir, It was held in Goa.

What was it all about?

Sir, this Seminar was on Emerging Trends of Entrepreneurship……and I presented a paper on Trends of direct selling Business  and its impact

P2 : So you did some research on to that?

Me: Yes, sir

So, you read ?

Tell me about Jan Dhan

Told

Don’t you think opening so many is a problem?

sir ….if I go to they would take 2 days to open my account may be more than that also…..so opening crores of account  in short span of time ….definitely a problem.

Smiling as I answered

So, Anup Last question……How much forex India has?
