One of the worst, retrograde, dangerous policy framework, going against all the international ethics and practices...........” Among others, he proposed the introduction and implementation of a self-certification scheme in a full-fledged manner. Self-certification has been around for a while in several States, though offered or implemented in different forms. To understand it in its proposed form, it may be useful to go back to Mr. Modi’s speech, where he gave an analogy of maintenance of a personal car versus that of a factory boiler. He asked, “When we purchase a new car, do we require a government inspector to check if the brakes, the accelerator and the gears function as they should? No, we don’t. We very well know that to maintain our car, its brakes and gear box is in our own interest — it is a question of our own life and death.” Mr. Modi then went on to suggest that the same applied to the maintenance of a boiler in a factory. A factory owner knows it is a matter of life and death. Hence, we need to have confidence in him and trust that he is capable and will act responsibly. Therefore, he went on to say, the factory owner should be allowed to self-certify that his boiler functions properly and that the factory is compliant with respect to all standards.
