Unemployment or Joblessness in India and its solution

Joblessness is the condition of unemployment or not having a job, often referred to as being "out of work". Not having a job is the most difficult situation of life for any individual which makes it impossible to meet financial liabilities and obligations for daily needs and survival of the family.
Joblessness is a major social issue in India. This becomes the main cause of malnutrition and illness, and major sources of mental stress and depression, which may have further negative impact on the health.

The rate of unemployment changes with the change in the economy. In the 80s, India was going through a major unemployment and then it little recovered in the 90s. The boom in Indian economy was seen after the advent of BPO(Business Processing Outsourcing) and IT (Information technology).
 The BPO industry employed many graduates who were otherwise would have been unemployed due to tough competition. IT industry also employed a huge number of people. But it seems now the good days are going to be over with the recession in the offshore economy. So, the era of good employment.
Though the economy induces a cascading effect on the employment rate, there are also several other factors that result in unemployment. Let’s learn what are the causes and solution of employment in India.

Main reasons of the OF unEMPLOYMENT

1.      Population - The ever-increasing population of India is a major cause of unemployment..
2.      Economic Growth – The expected GDP growth for 2017 is 7.5%. However, it is still not enough to create more employment opportunities.
3.      Education –The curriculum is designed only to provide theoretical knowledge neglecting the practical knowledge that helps to get jobs.
4.      Ineffective Employment planning – India lacks effective employment planning.
5.      Agricultural Infrastructure – As against expected contribution of employment @51%, it contributes only 12-13% to the country’s GDP due to stagnant growth. There is lack of advanced agricultural infrastructure like an effective irrigation system, better cultivation methods.

SOLUTIONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT

1.      Population – Government has to come with policies/awareness for control on population

2.      Industrialization – Industrialization is the most effective solution for unemployment in India. Polices for encouraging more industries in the country will increase the employment.
3.      Vocational and Technical Training – The curriculum in colleges and universities should be revised by emphasizing more on practical training instead of theory.
4.      Encouraging Self-employment – Self-employment is a very effective solution for unemployment. The government should encourage more unemployed people to start their business by introducing free loans and government assistance for funding.
5.      Inviting Big Capital Investments –The government should make the investment process easy to invite more investors in India. More companies mean more jobs and a solution for unemployment.
6.      Improved Agriculture Infrastructure –The government should provide extra facilities and support to the farmers like irrigation facilities, better farming equipment, training on multiple crop rotation and crop management. This will help to accelerate crop production and more employment in the agricultural sector.

7.      Better Policy Implementation – Though there are many policies implemented to encourage employment, still more needs to done completely abolish unemployment. The schemes like

Three Men in a Boat - A short review.

British humor is often hard to grasp for Indians, with their references and rambling. But  Jerome K. Jerome  hits the nail on the head with ‘T hree Men In A Boat ‘ and brings out British absurdities and traditions in a comic way .  Three Men in a Boat(To say nothing of the Dog) embarks on a journey of three friends Jerome( referred to as J in the novel), Harris and George on the river Thames as a retreat to their monotonous routine and hypochondriac nature. The novel starts with a scene where the three friends are discussing their anxiety over their sicknesses. The three of them consider themselves to be hypochondriacs. The men decide that a vacation will be a good retreat for their health, and after some deliberating, they decide to spend a week rowing up the Thames with their dog,  Montmorency . Although the novel also has portions where various cities residing on the river Thames have been described and thus also acts as a travelogue.  But this, though intended to be the m

Schindler's List

There may have been a good many things Spielberg couldn't show in Schlinder's List, for obvious reasons, like the fact that neither he nor his audience could take them. But the most important omission lies in the absence of the pyrotechnical wizardry that's made him the most consistently popular film-maker in the world. The film is in black and white, and there is no obvious flamboyance whatsoever. Many of the shots are hand-held and, though totally professional. This is the film with which Spielberg ceases to be the supreme entertainer and tries for another, tougher kind of glory. Spielberg has never manipulated us less. If there's no such thing as a film which fails consciously to shape what we see, at least Schlinder's List is a great deal nearer to it than most Hollywood films. Though a great work, the flatness of expression can sometimes make three hours plus seem a very long time in the cinema. Since it has been called a masterpiece so often alre

Delhi’s Mountain of Danger - Shame for civic bodies

As we enter New Delhi, it's a land of towering Five Star hotels, government institutions & residences. But, whenever we pass through the roads of the National capital, one can never miss a panoramic view of huge landfills & massive sight of more than 100 feet tall Garbage Mountains of the decaying trash having an acrid smell and obnoxious gases coming out of it. ''On September 1, 2017, two people died and five people were injured in East Delhi after a large part of the Ghazipur landfill — which should have been closed 15 years ago — collapsed in the afternoon of 2 nd September, sweeping several people on a road nearby into a canal. Heaps of garbage dropped into the Kondli canal running alongside the landfill, creating a giant wave of slushy water that hit the road next to the canal. It washed away four vehicles -an Accent car, a scooty and two bikes -which fell into a drain on the other side of the road.'' This was an extremely unfortunate incident
