Rising unemployment, consequences and solutions.

 

RISING UNEMPLOYMENT

“#We_want_job” was the top trend on Twitter today. Thousands of people had demanded timely recruitment in government jobs where a large number of posts are vacant.  Literally, the government has turned deaf ears towards the demand of the youth. The same government promises to provide an exhaustive number of jobs in its election manifesto but hardly works in this direction. India has an enormous youth population of sixty-four percent people being under working age group. Such a large working force could be of great value to the development of any country but unfortunately, India has not completely utilized its human resource well. In fact, instead of providing jobs, the government seems helpless as the number of public sector jobs is decreasing every year. Nevertheless, we cannot blame the government for the whole scenario of the youth. One of the major causes the rising unemployment is overpopulation resulting in cutthroat competition and faster utilization of the available resources.

An empty mind is a devil's workshop. An unemployed person is very vulnerable to get into anti-social activities like theft, robbery, fraud, and so on to meet his requirements. Rising unemployment is a major cause of anxiety and depression among youths. Many end up taking their lives battling the everyday pressure to sustain their families.

It is a hardcore fact that unemployment is one of the biggest issues and no government is efficient to tackle it. The problem can only be resolved by the combined effort by the youth as well as the government. It is time for the youth to realize that they cannot completely rely on public sector jobs as the government has limited resources. The youth will have to start being self-dependent by setting up a business and becoming an entrepreneur. The government on the other hand needs to support youth in such activities. The government must also use its entire means to ensure employment to every deserving candidate. For this the essential vacancies should be filled on time, emphasis should be laid on industrialization and proper infrastructure development which generates a large number of jobs. All the small-scale industries should be helped with monetary funds. Indian handicrafts must be encouraged. Proper training should be provided to the small-scale industries so that they could be digitalized and sell their products throughout the world. Agriculture must be modernized. Efforts must also be laid on population control measures by spreading awareness about the benefits of small families. It is crucial time we realize India’s youth power and provide them encouragement. It is only then India could leap towards success with the energy and enthusiasm of youth.

The bystander world on the Taliban insurgency

 It is not only Afghanistan’s government that has surrendered to the insurgency of the Taliban but also the world and humanity have succumbed to the influence of these terrorists. What could be worse than the world being a quiet spectator of the devastation taking place in an entire nation in the twenty-first century? What are the Human Rights organizations doing when it’s time for them to show their presence? The lives of more than 38 million Afghani men and women are in dismay. Their trepidation is evident in the grisly pictures and videos from the Kabul Airport where people could be seen falling to death after they clung to the underbelly of a plane in a desperate attempt to leave their country.  The countries in the world are busy closing their embassies and safely evacuating people from Afghanistan. Some countries accepting Afghanis, as refugees in their county, is a welcome step. However, it is not about a few lakhs of refugees who could take shelter in different parts o...

Death of Democracy legally NO, democratically YES!

There are times when we do something and regret it immediately. There are also times when we regret we did something long back. Some of our steps backfire on us and some of our actions literally mock us. Today is such a day for Mr. Rahul Gandhi. A reluctant politician who was given the job of carrying forward the legacy of his family, of leading the Congress party and the nation. The man who has immense courage to take up all the trolling and criticism. Pappu as people popularly call him. Yet again, stand in the parliament and give a speech, just to be criticized and trolled right after it ends. The man is no longer a  parliamentarian. Rahul Gandhi's conviction which followed his disqualification came as a big shock for most of us. For sure, it is the most exciting news for any common Indian news viewer. The mere thought that one of the biggest politicians, the so-called PM face of the Congress party was convicted in a petty defamation case by a district court is startling. Well, n...

The proposed population control bill and the brewing politics.

 Uttar Pradesh state law commission has come up with a new draft proposing a new law which is no exception to political backlash and controversy. No matter what the law is, if it is drafted in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it will be an alarm for political discourse in the entire nation. This time the most populous state is preparing to reduce its fertility rate to control its increasing population. Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for a thumping population of two hundred thirty million which, is equivalent to the combined population of Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. The government has released the first draft of the Uttar Pradesh Population Control Bill, which is open to public suggestions. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while unveiling the new population policy, made it clear that the government aims to bring down the birth rate from the present 2.7% to 2.1% by 2026 and 1.9% by 2030. The population control bill talks, in length, about the incentives for those who limit their...
