Mission: Zero Unemployment in India
India‼️

♦Today as we celebrate 78th Republic Day, I recall the third anniversary of our Co-authored book
‘Sone ka Chidiya ko Jagao’ – a collection of professional essays on the Unemployment Scene in India.
(underlying theme: Zero Unemployment in India)

♦Three years later, the situation is hardly better.

♦ Citigroup India’s recent report, Employment in India, indicates India may face challenges in creating job opportunities despite its 7% GDP growth rate.

♦The Finance Minister also covered this aspect in her budget speech.

♦India’s labour market presents a complex puzzle.

♦Distribution of skills across the workforce shows imbalances.

♦ Stark concentration in lower skill levels & low percentage  representing highly skilled categories.

♦ Added to this, is the huge problem of Under-employment.

⏺According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE),  unemployment rate stood at 9.2 percent in June 2024, a sharp increase from 7 percent in May 2024.

⏺ We need to navigate out of the jobless growth trap soon, if we are to truly join the comity of ‘developed countries’

⏺ Lack of education, lack of necessary skills, lack of employment opportunities & performance issues are only some of the factors leading to unemployment.

 On this Independence Day, I re-commit myself to serving the cause of Employment & Career Opportunities for all

✅ What can you do individually or in collaboration to ameliorate the woes of the unemployed & underemployed, especially the youth?
