Caselet of India Vision 2035: Blue Collared worker








Hargovind had taken up vocational training early in his career and took pride in being a blue-collared worked. He especially liked cleaning the drains of Delhi. So on new year day in 2035, he got up late to go for work and the city systems informed him of potential drain clogs detected. He did a quick visual inspection of the drains in the NDMC area using the built-in cameras and notices that the revelers of previous night and thrown in paper plates and paper spoons into the drains, with possibility of clogging them. Hargovind eased himself into his chair and remotely activated the mechanical cleaning “snake” that would slither into the drains and start cleaning up the material that would clog them. As the “mechanical snake” pumped out the bio-degradable clogging material from the drains, it got ferried straight into the micro-STP nearby which would convert the material into cooking gas for the nearby restaurants and into fertilizers for the NDMC maintained parks.

Hargovind thanked the prescient government for setting up the technical orchestration that helped cameras, sensors, robots and communication technologies to help him accomplish his job without getting into the drain as his predecessors would do.
