UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE BJP GOVERNMENT

Hello friends! Unemployment has become the biggest issue in the country today. According to the Indian Unemployment Report 2024, one out of every three youth in the country is unemployed. The unemployment rate has reached 29.1%. That, too, is among those who already have a graduation degree. The question that arises here is: Why does this happen? It is a country of 1,430,000,000 people. So many people need pulses, rice, flour, sugar, soap, oil, shampoo, T-shirts, shoes, schools, hospitals, films, TV, scooters, and newspapers; who knows what else? The market is so big that foreign companies come here and earn profits worth lakhs of crores. Some of these companies sell colored water with only sugar and soda. According to its latest ROC filing, its annual revenue in India is Rs 8,000 crore.

Coca-Cola India’s annual revenue is more than Rs 12,800 crore, and the youth of the country cannot get a job even for Rs 12,800. How can this be possible? India has become the fifth-largest economy, and stories are being told that soon we will become a five trillion-dollar economy. But there are no jobs for you in this economy. After all, who ate your jobs? Let us understand the problem of unemployment in depth in today’s topic. Friends, what is the root cause behind this and what is its solution? What can this government do from not only the government’s perspective but also yours? What can we do? First of all, let’s conduct government classes.

PROMISES MADE BY PM MODI BEFORE ELECTIONS

Friends, you remember that Prime Minister Modi had promised to provide crores of jobs, but some of our media channels believe that he had never made those promises. Not kidding. ABP News had done a check regarding this. They said that PM Modi only said that Congress did not provide employment. He just said that we would provide employment. Give it. As an election promise, he never promised to provide Harsha with 2,00,00,000 jobs in the country. That is why the allegation against the Modi government of not being able to provide 2,00,00,000 jobs every year proved to be false.

GODI MEDIA ALWAYS COVERS FALSE PROMISES MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT

Let’s ask news people: please tell us which party’s political campaign is this? If you are the one who keeps the youth unemployed, the public will not forgive you. Let the situation change and let the government of the country change. Friends, the BJP ran this advertisement in Haryana. ”My father always encouraged me to study, but I did not get a job. I can get a job only if there is development; isn’t that what I have now in the BJP government?” Do you know today’s truth about Haryana? I feel very sad to tell you this: The BJP made Haryana number one in unemployment. According to CMI data for December 2022, unemployment in Haryana is at 37.4%. This means that the unemployment rate here is the highest in the entire country. But it is not just about Haryana because Prime Minister Modi has repeatedly promised jobs by going from place to place. Watch the 6-year-old clip. We have launched a campaign without Gini India. There should be less employment for the youth in their own areas so that they can go and sit with their parents in the evening. News channels should also watch this 7-year-old clip where the Prime Minister is talking about one billion jobs. All our TV news channels will either not talk about unemployment, or if they do, they will spend a lot of time saving the image of the government. Just look at this, Sudhir Choudhary. He did the program about a year ago. Why does everyone want a government job? They started scolding the general public. They started saying that you want a government job because you want to earn an upper income. Even if there is no money in government jobs, many employees still earn a good amount of money by taking bribes. He said a survey was conducted in 2019, and we came to know that two people out of three admitted that he had given a bribe to some government employee to get his work done. That is, according to Sudhir Bhai, the slogan of Prime Minister Modi was neither I will eat nor will I let you eat. This is a phrase, and I feel like eating it or not letting it be eaten. And here they are saying that the youth is not skilled, or fighting is also a big reason. Who is responsible for this? Sudhir Bhai, should we accept that Prime Minister Modi has skills? Was that also a pun? Many people in India want to get a government job by any means, including giving exams, paying money, and getting recommendations from some leaders. The biggest reason for this is the long working hours in government jobs. There are not many. Working hours are fixed. Holidays are available to one’s heart’s content, which means, according to Sudhir Bhai, the youth of the country are working people. If we understand the ground reality a little deeper, then first we try to know how many jobs are needed. The report for 2021–22 has been found on the website of the Ministry of Education in the country.

THE GOVERNMENTS NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION

It is written here that the number of notes added to the head secondary is 2.85 crosses, i.e., approximately. So many children enroll in higher secondary school every year. Are so many jobs needed? Actually, every year here, we should also consider those students who drop out. According to the first UDISE report, there is about 12.61% dropout at the secondary level after class 10th, and before that, there is a drop of 3% at the upper primary level, and the dropout rate at the primary level is also 1.45%. See this report from the same year. About 35,00,000 tenth grade students could not reach 11th grade, so if we consider twelfth pass, twelfth fail, and all these dropouts, then the overall number that comes out is. 3.3, which will be around 3.4 crores. Most of these 12th-grade students decide that they will study in college. But are these crores of people in our colleges and in all the colleges in the country? There are so many college seats. The answer to this is simply no.

First, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MEDICAL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN INDIA

First, let us take the example of medical education. In July 2023, our Minister of Health and Family Welfare told Parliament that there are about 1,08,000 MBBS seats in the entire country. Apart from this, there are some BDS seats. Bachelor of Dental Surgery According to a report by the Times of India, the total number of MBBS Plus and BDS seats here is around 1.4 million, but the total number of applications in 2023 is more than 2,000,000. It was said that if 15 people take admission to become doctors, only one of them gets the seat. The number of PG seats is even less than this. 67,800 seats. You just understand the meaning of this. If your friends want to become doctors, there is an ample supply of candidates to become doctors in the country. There is a lot of demand in our country. There is a severe shortage of doctors. The only problem in the country is that not much education infrastructure has been created in our country. The government is short of colleges, universities, and education institutes. Another aspect of this problem is that the majority of medical seats in our country are in government medical colleges, while the rest are in private medical colleges, and the fees at private colleges are very high. According to a Times of India report, DY Patil Medical College in Mumbai offers the highest MBBS degree. In the year 2022, the Minister of State for Education Department received information from 1.4,00,00,000. So, friends, let us also talk about engineers. In December 2022, our Minister of State for Education, Subhash Sarkar, told the Rajya Sabha that the Indian population is increasing but the total number of seats in engineering colleges is going down in the last five years. There were 14.65,00,000 seats in 2017–18. It has fallen down to just 12.53 in 2021–22. But there is another aspect of the problem here. More than half the seats remained vacant in 2017–18. In 2018, it had 48.6% of seats available. Even in 2021–22, about 33% of seats were vacant, i.e., 4,210,00,000 seats were vacant.

PROBLEMS WITH the Engineering Education System in India

There is no shortage of supply here either. Crores of people want to become engineers in the country, but why are so many seats going vacant? College: There are four main reasons behind this. The first is high fees. In the last few years, the fees at colleges like IT have increased. See this news article from 2016 at IIT. The fees in this article almost doubled; the fees increased from ₹ 19,000 to 2,00,000. Private engineering colleges will have to pay ₹ 8,00,000 more for a 4-year B.Tech. degree. This reaches up to lakhs of rupees. Secondly, no matter how much you pay, the quality of education is huge in most cases. Most of the private engineering colleges have substandard faculty who are either paid very little or are not qualified at all. Look at this data from the Ministry of Education for June 2023: only 44.51% are faculty. Of those who have a PhD, only 55.49% have a master’s degree. How is this even being allowed? Third, there is a shortage of faculty in most engineering colleges. See this report for December 2022. Our education minister told the gathering that there are about 4500 faculty posts in our Prestige IT. The academic year 2021 has fallen this weekend. 30.3% of teaching positions think that if this is the condition of the arts, then what will be the condition of other engineering colleges? Country Fourth: Most of the colleges do not even have proper infrastructure. In 2019, AICTE decided to reduce 40,000 seats in government engineering colleges across the country. Why? They neither had property nor proper infrastructure. In 2022, Anna University conducted a physical inspection and found that in Tamil Nadu, more than 50%. There is no debate infrastructure at the college. Last year, there were 37 such colleges in Tamil Nadu to which not even a single student was admitted. When engineering colleges across the country are in such bad condition, it is not surprising that most of the graduates are not employable in the country. In 2019, the Employability Assessment Ministry came out with a report that stated that 60% of these graduates do not even get an internship in the country. And even fewer people—only 3%—have technology skills, action, intelligence machines, data science, and mobile development. The result of all this is 80%. No, but this is not because they are lazy or not good at studies, but because there is a shortage of engineers in the country, a lack of competent faculty, and proper infrastructure in the engineering colleges of the country. Now some people will say, Why are you pursuing engineering? Do something else; joining an ITI, or Industrial Training Institute, is not an idea. If you can learn any skill, it is a great option, but how many seats are available here? Our Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Rajiv Chandrashekhar, told the Lok Sabha that the total seating capacity in December 2022 will be around 15,000, around 25,00,000 for medical, 1,50,000 for engineering, 12,50,000 for engineering, and 25,00,000 for ITI. Even if you add the seats, it would not be even 50,00,000, but as I said earlier in the article, the total number of students coming out of the country is more than 3,00,00,000. Where will the remaining crores of students go, and what will they study? If we talk about IT, out of these 25,00,000 seats, there are around 50% here for engineers. They are vacant, and after graduating from them, there is no guarantee of a job like in colleges. Most of the people who are graduates are not employed. Even if we assume that all the seats available are full, top-quality education is provided in all the seats, and all the graduates have good skills. So, will all of them be able to get jobs? The answer to this is also simply no. From the CMI of July 2023, we come to know that there were 5.1,00,00,000 jobs in India’s manufacturing sector in 2016. In 2023, these jobs will fall to only 3.6,00,00,000. You read it right: manufacturing sector jobs have increased by 30%. On top of that, even the jobs of those who have jobs are not secure. See the report: According to the May 2020 CMIE report, more than 12,00,00,000 Indians. In June 2021, 1,00,00,000 people lost their jobs, and 97% of household income declined during the second wave. If you ask why I’m talking, then let’s move on to further news. May 2023: The Indian Staffing Federation states that 6% of contract workers have lost their jobs. More than 11,000 Indian startup employees were laid off in India’s IT sector in the March quarter to June 2023. August 2023: A tsunami of layoffs arrived. The tech company fired more than 2,000 employees. From their jobs. Engineering colleges are worried as companies like TCS, Cognizant, and Wipro have not started campus hiring. October 2023: The hiring numbers of four out of the top five IT companies have gone negative: Infosys, Wipro, HCL Tech, Mahendra, everyone. Mahindra Sab’s hiring numbers were negative. Only 523 staff members of TCS were positive.

The problem of people losing jobs in India.

What is happening here? The GDP growth rate of the Indian economy is not negative, nor are these companies going into losses. If you look at the profit of TCS, there has been 9% year-on-year growth. If you look at the quarterly profit of Infosys, they have a profit of Rs 11,300 crore. All these companies have recorded profits of Rs 8500 crore in every quarter, but they do not have jobs to give to the people. The people who have been hired are being made to work overtime. More than half of the employees are otherwise on the verge of being fired. According to the McKinsey Health Institute 2023 survey, India tops the workplace burnout survey. 62% of Indian employees report workplace exhaustion. Japan comes in second with 61%. This is not the only such report. There have been many reports in the past that have pointed out the same thing: the Asian Mental Health Index of December 2023 reports that more than half of the employees feel exhausted. It is from February 2021. Your report shows that Indian workers work the longest and earn the least. I am not saying that all the companies do the same, but most of the companies in the country have the same philosophy and do not recruit employees. To win, salaries will have to be paid, and the current employees will be fired. If it seems that the current employees are not overworked, then cost-cutting, and enhancement can be done. Amazon fired more than 27,000 employees in the first three months of 2023; Global Meta fired 21,000 employees in November 2022; and Twitter reported that only 80 employees are left in India. Twitter engineers across the country are being asked to work more hours. There is a pattern here that is clearly visible. When a company becomes too big, it can lead to layoffs and increased work demands on the remaining employees. The job growth rate always keeps falling in that company. The market capitalization of Adani Group is Rs 11,00,000 crore. This is a very big number, but how many employees are there in this company? According to their own website, only 43,000. Please look at the example of Coca-Cola. In December 2012, this company had 1,50,900 employees. After 10 years, in December 2022, Coca-Cola said that only 82,000 employees were left; the number of employees had almost halved in 10 years. But the profit of this company increased by 100 billion dollars more. Twitter’s market capitalization is 41 billion dollars, i.e., 3.4,000,000 crore rupees. How many employees does the company have? Only 1500 are from India, whereas ITC is the biggest company and carries more than 25 brands. SunFest, Biscuits, Ashirwad Atta, etc. Big hotels like Maurya have more than 10 cigarette brands, classmates, and stationery. All this comes within this one big company. Is their market worth Rs 5.4,00,000 crore? But how many employees disclose? I am saying only Rs 23,000. Another famous name in the FMC sector is Hindustan Unilever. More than 50 FMCG brands are also on the list. Close Up, Life Was So Positive, and Lyrics on Gauff. Label Brew Coffee and Surf Excel have a market capitalization of Rs 5.9,00,000 crore. The annual turnover is Rs 58,000 crore. But the total number of employees is only 21,000; the point here is that these are the private jobs, the jobs that are available after doing an MBA, and the corporate white-collar jobs are also quite limited, and it is not so. Someone is not getting these jobs due to a lack of skills. The problem is a lack of jobs. In February 2023, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat told a public function that everyone runs after jobs. Government jobs are only around 10%. The remaining jobs are around 20%, and there is no society in the world that can create more than 30% of them. Let’s talk to Sudhir Chaudhary. Prime Minister Modi has also said that selling pakoras is also a thing. There is a way. If someone sells pakoras outside your Zee TV studio and goes home after earning ₹200 in the evening, will you consider that person employed or not? Maybe you, Sudhir Chaudhary, should make a new show by saying why everyone wants a government or private job? Why don’t you start your own business? Don’t use this excuse, because if it is, then why does the government make employment promises? The government does not have the capability to provide jobs, so why is the government promising to provide jobs?

How can we solve the problem of unemployment?

People often make fun of Gandhi’s charkha, but if we talk about employment, then Gandhi’s charkha is here with these big companies. Provides more employment. According to the group’s report, the size of the Indian handicraft market was 3.9 billion dollars in 2022. If converted to UP, then around Rs 32,000 crore more gas can be produced. How many people are employed here? 69,00,000 people. By comparing once again with Hindustan Unilever, Obama’s turnover is Rs. 58,000 crores, and 21,000 people are getting employment. The size of the handicraft market is Rs. 32,000 crores, and the employment here is 69,00,000 people. Is getting 650 times more employment? The report has also given out the exit point. Only 50% of the contribution is made to our national product, but 90% of the workforce is employed here. Cooperatives like Papad and Amul should be given huge credit. There was some talk about generating employment on a very large scale. People go around praising these big companies; look how much of a billionaire he has become. This Godi Seth has become the richest man in the world, but in reality, if anyone in our country is providing employment and taking the country forward, it is our cooperatives and small and micro enterprises.

ANOTHER WAY TO CREATE JOBS ON A SMALL SCALE

Every shopkeeper and every Rehri Bazaar in the country should be given credit here for the centralized local production that they are creating; in fact, the same job creation is taking place. What we need here is Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, and tomorrow should be local. I am a big fan of slogans, as I can tell from the one that Prime Minister Modi used. The problem is that the Prime Minister only comes to give these slogans. When there is work to be done, they either do the wrong thing or do nothing at all. What does the government need to do here to solve the problem of unemployment? First of all, a vacancy will be felt. There is a severe shortage of government jobs in life, but at least feel the vacancy of those available. Otherwise, I have more than 9.5,000,000 vans. Did more than 60,00,000 jobs in different state governments. But the report has been made directly. From schools to courts to police to ministries, there are vacancies everywhere. Secondly, there is a need for a strict focus on education. The infrastructure of government schools, government colleges, and government institutes in the country will have to be improved. Soon, many new education institutes will have to be built. across the country, so that and. Found eggs. Many people want to become engineers and doctors, and there is a shortage of engineers and doctors in the country. But there are no educational institutions to complete the translation from here to here. Third, the government needs to take action on a larger scale. To promote cooperative small and micro enterprises, it has a good presence in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. But if we talk about remote districts, like Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh or Haryana, who will provide jobs here? Will the poor people here just keep waiting? Someday someone will look at their city and come here and set up factories and give us jobs. This seat needs to be replaced. The government will have to intervene here. Currently, the government only provides loans, but the government will have to provide production storage space and market mechanisms. When the Great Depression hit America in 1929, neither the statement that Mouse Adam brought from China nor the Salem-like circumstances that existed in Singapore in 1960 improved until the government stepped in. It is very difficult to improve it without government action. In India too, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru had set up many public-sector undertakings. LIC and many other banks were nationalized, due to which many people got employment. The bee revolution has transformed India from a milk-deficient country into the largest producer of milk. And this happened only when the government conducted the interview in Hyderabad. Why did we become IT? Because the government had conducted the interview. Fourth, pakoras sellers have their place in the country, and engineers have their place, but when the Prime Minister asks to sell pakoras, what has the government done to promote that thing? The prices of gas cylinders and oil have gone up, and in the name of employment, the government has reduced the corporate tax. From 30% to 22% in 2019. Due to this, the country suffered a loss of more than Rs 1,00,000 crore in just one year. If the government has time from this charity business model, then sometime look at small businesses also. There is a need to promote these. If you really want to create jobs in the country and here, don’t rely on the government. Friends, someday the government will take action, and I will get a job. You can start working from now on. Step One: Delete all the betting apps from your phone; this will only waste your money. Understand that whether you get a government job or not, whether you get a private job or not, you too will have to do something and learn some skills. It can be any skill, even if you watch cooking videos on YouTube and learn cooking. Go find some handicraft workers and work with them. Instead of scrolling through Instagram while sitting at home, it is better to watch different things happening around you and learn how people are working. No work is small; if it is done with sincerity and hard work, then if you are sincere, you will learn to work, and soon confidence will develop in you. So that you can start your own business.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, fostering job creation in our nation demands a multifaceted approach that involves both governmental action and individual initiative. Recognizing the pivotal role of local enterprises, such as shopkeepers and Rehri Bazaars, is crucial. Furthermore, addressing the scarcity of government jobs, enhancing educational infrastructure, and promoting small businesses in rural areas are imperative steps. Drawing from historical examples and acknowledging the need for government intervention, it’s evident that collaborative efforts are essential. Additionally, individuals must take proactive steps towards skill development and entrepreneurship, understanding that every endeavor, no matter how small, contributes to personal growth and economic empowerment. By embracing these principles of inclusivity and self-reliance, we can collectively work towards a future where opportunities abound for all.
