Unemployment in India

Yea, Darshana…you ought to have added the malaise of the educated unemployed as a rising area of concern. What this means is the relevance of the education process to employment opportunities being generated. This is often a hit & miss affair

I believe BPOs, KPOs have reduced the gap!  If the call centres, BPOs and KPOs lose their charm in India, then this gap will be even more larger.  Another great thing in our country happening is repatriation of NRI funds invested in major infrastructure projects and a number of young entrepreneurs looking for opportunities abound in this country are great signs for our country!

The reasons stated by you are very correct, but want to request you to suggest the precise solution for it so that this unemployed youth will become a part of success story of India.

Darshana it is correct and the rot cause of problem is over population. If we are in a position to contain our population the unemployment will go down drastically and in case the agri products grower gets their due including sustainable income the problem of unemployment will be a matter of past.

Once a Time a person go to a DM house to meet him. The clerk there was trying to show that man that he is very busy. He said to clerk i want to meet the DM. clerk said he is not here. person said its ok if he is not here i am his relative. At the same time the wife of the officer came outside. he saw the person and recognize him as her relative. The clerk is now apologizing from the relative and said that Sir in inside. many people disturbed him so he is helping the officer. 
This is going out everywhere in govt. and public sector besides the money you need contact to get the position. who has only talent rarely recognized and the people who are doing this are responsible. 

The unemployment problem of a country occurs due to lack of planning and forecasting of the economy. An economy should have a clear idea how many are graduating each year and how much investments an economy need each year to accomodate these new graduates. Some random growth numbers like 9% or 10% won't do. A country in economic sense need to have a clear forcast of how many are getting added to the 'civilian labor force' a criteria or a variable well taken care of by every fair and equitable economy in the world. This is the number of citizen above 19 health and actively seeking job. So if people reamin unemployed we have to assign the responsibility to whoever is supposed to be controling the politics of the nation. Those who have the power in their hand to make decisions on the economy, how the citizen need be endowed, how much of incremental growth is required to accomodate, what all economic variables need be taken care of to achieve the required numbers like investments, inflation, employment, exports, imports etc;.

The unemployment problem is a matter of concern for all of us. What is required is the political will to resolve the issues. At the same time the educated mass should think to start their own business jointly or individually and thus create employment opportunities for others also. Thanks for the referral Mr.Manish Kumar.
 

Unemployment is a serious problem everywhere. I can only imagine the scale of it in India (I'm from Serbia.Yet the situation is pretty much the same. Keep in mind Serbia's population equals the population of one of your mid-sized cities.). Something must be done with the over-extended population even counting India's tradition; it must be done, as it must be with many other of our (human) habits. All of them should be subject change. If you exclude the use of pesticides and fertilizers (+ well controlled irrigation practice)you are to come up with the number of individuals this planet had been designed for. It amounts between one and two billions. Therefore, I believe it's almost impossible to answer your question. We can talk only about how to control negative effects of the population pressure.

unemloyment level in India is one of the major problems , but lack of skill in employed also interrelated to it.thanx for sharing very informative topic...

Not only there are is unemployment problem, there's also problem of lack of skills in those employed. These issues are interconnected, first we have problem with education system which just teaches for taking exams, then there's govt regulations which prevent entrepreneurship from being dominant, then there's culture of society, which promotes sort of job slavery system.

There are many movements going in world which aim to make obsolete employment,top down organizations and the like.

For more see bettermeans, read their manifesto, also search about open educational resources, open courseware and openfarmtech.

They propose radical solutions. 

Yes this unemployment level in India is huge. Even the people with good skills are looking forward that when will they get jobs? Something needs to be seriously done as people may stop educating there children and rather tell them to directly do business. Even for business these days a proper education is required. Wish certain conditions of our country to help unemployed.

a very heart touching posts.
Unemployment has been a major problem among young Indians. There are thousands of young who do not have a job and lakhs of people are not in the right kind of job , just because there are no openings for jobs in which they specialize. There are lot of talented people who are striving to find the right kind of jobs.

Very informative. Every country has problems & will always have problems. There are things the governments can do to help reduce unemployment, poverty & crime. Different governments in every country in addition to its people should be more proactive to help reduce their various problems.

I am 100 % agree with you. It is realy good.

Thank you Darshana ji, for this article.one thing is clear that.... We need more entrepreneurs to generate employment.lot of money is in blocked stage in banks.....the persons who having money they have to rotate the money ...I mine if they move that money from banks and started small scale industries then at least we can control the unemployment rate.......
                                                once again thank you Darshana ji   
                                                     BYE!!!!!TAKE CARE
                                                        

THANK YOU DARSHANA FOR ALL THE USEFUL INFO.AS LONG AS POPULATION GROWTH IS NOT PROPORTIONATE TO THE GROWTH IN OUR ECONOMY LEADING TO THE MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO START BUSINESS,OR SELF EMPLOYMENT THERE WILL BE THE PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT.MOST PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE SAFE AND SECURED LIFE OF GETTING GOVT JOBS WHICH TODAY ALSO IN MANY DEPTS GIVES PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INCOME FROM VARIOUS OTHER SOURCES,IN ADDITION TO SALARY,DA,HRA ETC.THERE SHOULD BE VIGOROUS STEPS TO CONTROL POPULATION EXPLOSION AND ON THE OTHER HAND EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMICAL SITUATION OF OUR COUNTRY. 

Yes I really agree with you darshana unemployment is rapidly increasing.& I also agree with Mr.Jithu that the rate is increased among the educated class not because they cant find a job, but for not finding a job they expected or deserved.

I myself is an example of the same. Although experienced in HR but not finding the suitable job.

Offcourse, unemployment is a common problem for all the countries in the world. I think rate is increased among the educated class not because they cant find a job, but for not finding a job they expected or deserved. Indeed we collectively have a responsibility to fight against unwanted labour strikes, delay in execution of project...which could bring down the rate of unemployment to an extend

Unemployment is definately gonna remain no matter how hard the government tries to avoid it. In a country like India where Population is considered to be Asset rather than Liablity, this disease will be there.

Unemployment normally remains an issue for   every country in all the 5 continents.In India if it remains a grave crisis,it only reflects the apathy of our governance.The government need to be tasked to create a time bound program that should see results visible and measurable. This project will not remain viable and achievable as long as it remains infested by vote banking politics,regionalism and babugiri& bureaucracy.Further let us understand education alone does not make the youth employable.It is competency and skill that needs to horned up. The govt should provide free and subsidized technical training institutes across the country.Also should task the big corporate to generate employment as a part of their social responsibility/ Also the government should whole heartedly encourage entrepreneurship,through providing meaning full loan and proper infrastructure facilities.Let us understand that it is for nothing that  India is being seen as "indispensable for global economic growth. Therefore it is evident that  only because of  our vote banking politics as well regionalism ,we as a country neither able generate required thrust for accelerating speed of movement creating meaningful employment as well as well as economically gainful entrepreneurship.We as voters under demorcacy need to ensure not a debate but an action plan that can see India truly emerge as a land of opportunity and gainful employment for those 6 crore well educated youth   

what to speak about this darshana this is the most dangerous topic actually, nobody is concern about unemployment in actual way, so we should find way to get down this disease,somehow.

Dear Darshana, I think, being employed or unemployed has more to do with the approach & mindset of an individual. It seems to be more of a hype than the facts, specially with the freshers. After being employable, they tend to become overambitious & keep looking for a job of their 100% choice, focus being monetary. Thus most of them keep rejecting the opportunities coming their way for the sake of 'better' forgetting that it is ultimately the exposure which would get them a 'better' job. Hence these types are so called 'unemployed'.

Thank you Darshana, for this article. I think unemployment has more to do with the approach of our society towards this issue. If we think that not doing something is unemployment, its not so. You article add to the worry of people seeking job. If you think that unemployed people is the cause of high crime rate, I don't believe it. In fact crime is full time employment for criminal. Thus, employment should rather be measured in terms of living life above the line of poverty on to the resources available to people. In short, all people cannot go to industries for work. We really don't need heavy support from Govt. for industries. We rather need to concentrate on work related to human skills. Like in our country, I see teaching is a big earning source while people engaged might be listed as unemployed. Agriculture should thus be encouraged no matter if it leaves people unemployed for some other season. Likewise, people needs to be taught professions like car repair, computer typing, programming, designing, accountancy, touring and travel jobs, sports, music etc. and then encouraged for self employment. You know, get trained, come up with an idea, get loan and get started with your own in your own way. Small cities, big cities, villages, anywhere, with small industries and self employment. We have sectors like property dealing, sports and events management, catering etc. where money flows unaccountable. These sectors needs work license. We only require law enforcement to make our market good for small players to work as well. So that, we won't be able to call anyone unemployed, while all of them take rest for weeks before they start on some innovative product.

Darshana, I agree with your views, As per me moral and value less education system is one factor which majorly contributting and the other major factor is government pOlicy.

Unemployment is one of most challenging problem we face today.
I totally agree that there is need of totally different kind of education system.But it is an open ended solution pointing to change in one aspect that in education.In fact we need a master plan on national level covering all the aspects education , training, government measures, corporate governance and most important the mind set of people.
Agriculture is one of the variable that need next generation reform for creating more job opportunities and for the betterment of exiting farmers.
I believe that we have the potential to design a strategy and implement the plans and control the variance,Polio eradication plan of the government is one of the example in line.
But we need a very quantified plan covering all aspects and the changes need to be done to have a desired result.

 Darshana,a very heart wrenching assessment.The bane of unemployment could be resolved if GOI pay more attention to Agriculture and Manufacture sector.These are the only two sectors which can absorb the skilled,unskilled and qualified people.The real estate and Infra development have an inbuilt capacity to take care of lion's share of unemployed people. 

Why do we expect the Govt. to support? We need more entreprenurs to generate employment.
Today india mostly producing non-techies graduates. Every one is eyeing for white and blue collar jobs. We need to shift the focus, developing sectore like, non-renewable energy, agriculture,fisheries, we can absorb. We are weak in sports, we can develop lot. Different ideas we needed with strong leadership.

We should ask ourselves, what is the value of that "Education" which leads to unemployment. We are not training the students in a proper way. When the son of a farmer gets a college degree, he immediately wants to sit in an office and work. He is no more willing to cultivate the land or to take care of the dairy.
What is the result ? Unemployment.

The education system in our country is largely to blame for the unemployment of the educated youth.
The standard of vocational training / industrial training is very low.  Besides, the remuneration in fields such as agriculture is not as high as it should be. The result is what we see before our eyes : We have developed an army of clerks who are ready to toil till late hours just at the beck and call of their American masters.

We have destroyed our economy by looking for short term gains.
The long term solution is to introduce vocational education based upon the individual child's proficiency / merits.
We cannot make every student into an engineer or a doctor or a professor. We need farmers, policemen, artisans, businessmen too.
Yet the education system tries to impose the same knowledge on every student with disastrous results as we can all see.
Unfortunately we do not care for the fundamentals and simply ape the western trends. What works successfully in the West may not work here.

Dear Darshana,

I fully agree with your views, people tend to compare their motherland with some other better developed nation and justify their criticisms. No country is short of miseries. Every country has it’s own problems.

Naturally, by human instinct, we always try to view others as better of than ourselves, like "Doosray ki thaali mein laddu badha Dikhai deta hai," and crave for more.

i also agree with you darshana nice thinking and good writing government needs to taken care to eradicate the future threats

Ya Darshana, U r absolutely right. The reasons what you have mentioned truly go with the situations existing in our country.

We all need to work towards it & the govt. should play a leading role in this act.
