182. Given the election calendar, Congress now needs to continuously ensure Rahul Gandhi stays front and centre in national attention as a credible political figure. Here’s an irony: when it’s easy for Gandhi to appear credible, it’s thanks to BJP, when it’s tough for him to do so, it’s thanks to Congress. And, further irony, the impact of the second outweighs that of the first.Let’s explain.The weekend following Friday’s parliamentary debate saw Gandhi chairing his first Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, and yet another terrible lynching incident, this time in Alwar, Rajasthan. CWC let everyone know that in the event Congress commands the most number of seats in general elections, Gandhi will be applying for the PM’s job. You can hardly get more underwhelming than this when trying to market a potential prime ministerial figure.The statement betrayed the well-recognised reality that Congress is in absolutely no position to (a) command anything close to a national electoral majority, and (b) ensure fealty from regional political overlords whom it seeks as allies. Congress, or Gandhi, at this point doesn’t seem to have a story that can lift him â€" or, at least, appear to lift him â€" above this brute reality.The Alwar tragedy, in contrast, afforded Gandhi a ready platform to critique BJP and Narendra Modi. Congress’ president appears more convincing when he takes on BJP leaders for their inability and/or unwillingness to respond in time and adequately to Alwar-like incidents.Think back to Gandhi’s no-confidence motion speech in the Lok Sabha. He appeared more convincing when he positioned himself and his party against what he described as BJP’s wink-wink, nudge-nudge approach to the uglier manifestations of majoritarian politics. In contrast, when he listed those jumlas, supposed to be a critique of the Modi government’s performance, Gandhi’s own performance was tepid.That tepidness comes from a fundamental weakness in Gandhi’s and his party’s politics: neither he nor Congress has anything close to an alternative policy vision that challenges Modi-led BJP’s.Build a Better Mousetrap In earlier comment in these pages, we had argued that Modi needs a new narrative if he’s to lead BJP to another majority in general elections (Read here). The PM’s speech didn’t give enough evidence that he’s started fashioning such a story. But he has the political talent and just about enough time to execute a major rewrite.Gandhi is nowhere near as talented as a politician, and given that Congress has done little to brand-differentiate itself from BJP on policy, there may be very little time. That’s why Congress is a weak point for Gandhi when he tries to come across as a credible political challenger.One can, of course, appreciate Congress’ difficulties. On policy, Modi-led BJP has frequently repackaged and relaunched a bunch of Congress ideas and reworked a traditional Congress political economic approach to make it appear grander.Modi’s message is that he’s for high welfare spending for the poor and against iniquitous behaviour by the rich. That used to be a default Congress message. Congress’ messaging, and indeed policy execution, was poorer than Modi’s is. But the fact remains, Modi has cleverly repackaged a largely Congress story and basically left Congress with no story.Gandhi’s and his party’s policy critiques consist of carping about execution and results. GST could have been better implemented. More jobs should have been created. Growth should have been faster. China could have been better handled.All of that, at some level, is true. But they don’t tell voters what Congress wants to do sharply differently. True, Congress’ performance bar for next general elections is set lower than BJP’s. Modi is seriously aiming for nothing less than another majority. Congress will be beside itself if it gets around 130 â€" provided anti-BJP, non-Congress parties get enough to start talking about government formation.But even with this lower bar, Congress’ lack of an alternative policy story is a serious weakness in part because it makes the man Congress wants to project as a prime ministerial candidate appear less credible.Aren’t there votes in Congress’ critique of BJP’s inadequate responses to Alwar-like incidents? Especially because Gandhi looks more convincing when he takes on BJP in this fashion? It’s by no means certain that there will be a counter-reaction from a sizeable section of Hindu voters to past and future Alwars.Voters mostly dislike law and order breakdowns and punish incumbents. But awful incidents like the last weekend’s haven’t, in their cumulative impact on perception, coalesced into a popular feeling that BJP can’t be trusted to maintain order. If that remains the case, Congress will receive limited electoral dividends from BJP’s anaemic responses to Alwars.Who Moved My Cheese? So, maybe, while BJP knows that every time it doesn’t confront an Alwar head on, it makes Gandhi look better.It also knows that’s not enough for Gandhi and Congress. And, perhaps, BJP reckons there are dividends to be earned from their current approach. Of course, in a volatile democracy like ours, there’s no iron-clad guarantee that future Alwars won’t change public perception about BJP and maintaining order.But unless that happens, Rahul Gandhi will be handicapped by a double irony.
183. In what could reduce the number of fatalities of motorcyclists, researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad have developed a solution using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for automatic detection of motorcyclists driving without helmets in surveillance videos.Recently, the institute signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hyderabad City Police to gain access to video data from the city’s CCTV network. The technology is in the ready-to-be-deployed stage and the institute has already filed for its patent rights.This is how it works: The solution is partially installed in cameras and partially on the servers of the central police control room. A software is also installed on an embedded card attached to CCTV cameras which helps detect violators (motorcyclists without helmets) by sending out an alert to the central alert database.“It will be fully automatic along with a web interface to verify the alerts by the operators (traffic police, etc.). From there, it will be connected to the existing RTO website to generate challans (fines) and send a notification to the riders through SMS,” explained Dinesh Singh, one of the research scholars behind this solution.Number of road accidents due to bike riders without helmets has been alarming. A Delhi Police annual report (released in 2017) revealed that of the total number of fatal accidents in the city in 2016, 35-40 per cent of the deaths were due to riders “not wearing helmets” or “poor quality helmets”.“We have done significant lab experiments on sparse traffic at the IITH campus as well as dense traffic from Hyderabad city CCTV network. The results are motivating us to develop the complete software to deploy the system for realworld use,” said C Krishna Mohan, associate professor, IITH. Krishna along with research scholarsâ€"Singh and C Vishnuâ€" are the trio behind this technology.This solution can be deployed at the entrances of cities like toll bridges or on the selected checkpoints, especially road intersections.Next step for the researchers is to get an industry partner on board for making the technology commercially available.The solution uses convolutional neural network technology (applied to analyse visual images) which primarily mimics the human brain using AI. The proposed system can easily be extended to other kinds of traffic applications, like detection of tripling, zigzag bike driving, traffic violations by other kinds of vehicles, according to Mohan.“Recent studies show that human surveillance proves ineffective, as the duration of monitoring of videos increases, the errors made by humans also increases,” Mohan said.The research team has also developed a novel framework for automatic detection of road accidents in the surveillance videos. Mohan said that they have also proposed a framework for ‘Snatch Theft Detection’ in city-wide surveillance.

185. In today’s dynamic work environment, it is not enough for a leader to be able to just lead a team; s/he must be able to motivate people to go above and beyond, solve difficult problems and be part of a high-performing work culture. Effective people management can not only influence productivity but also has a direct correlation with morale of employees and their motivation to work harder and smarter. ET brings you some suggestions on how to improve your people managements.1. Concentrate On Your EQEQ, or emotional quotient, is as important as IQ, or intelligence quotient. “Provide direction and goals to your team without micromanaging, and be open to new ideas and approaches,” says Vivek Prakash, co-founder of HackerEarth, a Bengaluru-based innovation and talent management startup. “It is also important to be able to leverage the strengths of people and listen to everyone without dictating what needs to be done,” he says.2. Involve EveryoneYour team most likely has a mix of introverts and extroverts. Be sure to involve the quieter ones, as otherwise the vocal ones tend to dominate. “Good leadership is about getting the quiet onesâ€"who usually have good ideasâ€"to talk,” says Bala Parthasarathy, co-founder of app-based loan facilitating startup MoneyTap.3. Focus on Communication SkillsNo amount of communication is ever enough, and the most important messages need to be repeated again and again. “Leaders must communicate transparently, and clearly make known the larger goals and objectives to ensure that everyone is on the same page,” says Prakash of HackerEarth. “This instils confidence in the team and creates a sense of fairness,” he says. Parthasarathy of MoneyTap said leaders should use stories and anecdotes as tools to communicate better.4. Practice EmpathyThis is one of the most important people management skill for leaders to possess, according to Arjun Pratap, founder of HR technology solutions startup EdGE Networks. “Cultivate the ability to put yourself in your employees’ shoes, to understand their strengths and limitations: this will help you take better decisions in the long run,” Pratap says. Empathy can also go a long way in creating a great working ecosystem at the office, he says.5. Recognise ContributionsEvery employee is an asset to an organisation and thus recognising their efforts and contributions is an important aspect when it comes to managing people. “It not only builds the confidence of the individual but also motivates her/him to work harder in line with the organisation’s goals,” says Pratap of EdGE Networks. “Create a robust feedback and reward-recognition system at work to help track the employee’s growth,” he says.
