But nobody will talk about the excess number of population and pathetic infrastructure. Welcome to India 😑

[sadanandgote]

In India, risk takers I.e. entrepreneurs are not respected. Ease of doing business is only on paper. Eg. If a small IT company or online marketing company employing about 25 to 20 employees, starts a business in a rented residential premises, the local govt will not allow it unless tax on rented premises is increased from residential status to commercial status. The tax on commercial premises could be 3 to 4 times of residential premises. This leads to rampant corruption. While lawyers are allowed to start their services from residential premises it is allowed but for a small IT company, or online marketing company it is not allowed . Why so ? Then there are complicated GST and Income tax laws which are not people friendly. So people do not wish to become enterprenuers. They would be rather contended to be job seekers.

This is not a job crisis, this is a population and education sector crisis

[rosepainting]

The problem is, India is full of job seekers and not job creators. India needs entrepreneurs. That's why me and my colleague quit job and started a company, he employ 4 people, I employ 7 people.

[ronaldcharan]

Too much population. Parents who pressure their children to marry and have kids are also to blame. A common thing in Indian culture.

[Rikitikitawi-xl]

India has 29% unemployment amongst it's i won't hold my breath for the remaining 70% of the employed graduates as only 1% of the graduates are competent in doing their jobs

[aveekmajumdar]

Unfortunately this gov has miserably failed to manage economy of India.

[RafeeqTVTV]

Nobody’s sentiments get hurt ??
This is the reality of the country . Whoever has some way going abroad. Small scale industries are struggling. Still governments and politicians are in denial mode and making all believe that all r fine !

[venkyratnam]

With an uneducated PM who has never had to worry about degree, resume, job search, family responsibilities, what else can we expect?

[ys]

If 30% graduates who are supposedly educated and eligible workers are not able to get jobs, then those without qualifications would be harder to get a job.
Then the unemployment rate should not be only 9%.
Indian statistics are doctored, said the previous Chief Statistician.

[MrStach]

When Raghul talked about unemployment crisis in the country during election campaign no media was interested in talking about the issue. Only after the Mumbai Air India walk-in-interview debacle the Indian media has just started to scratch their balls. Shame on journalism in India.

[madhurimabiswas]

This situation at least has exposed one big truth, that the people of India don’t need mandir or mosques but employment. Employment is much more important than religion in present day India and will always be so.

[LogeshwariPrasanna]

When government is only focused on improving wealth of 2 corporates and not creating a level playing field this is what will happen

[manojsuri]

People who got married in 90's and produced more than 2 kids are to be blamed for this job crisis and over population in India.

[speak_truth]

India urgently needs a population control bill, NRC, and tighter border controls. Most importantly:
1. Encouraging R&D and innovation in India for India; 2. Education system reform at all levels country wide.

[seshadrideepak]

As a foreign medical graduate, im depressed with India. Even though, there are vacancies, Indian govt fails to channelize the route. Out of our failures, Indian govt earn from Indian medical graduates. We all were facing this issues since 8 to 9 years. Govt won't resolve. So I came out of india. Settled in Russia, as an assistant professor in surgery and urology. Salary is quite low. But still satisfied.

[reginageorgetownuni]

Skill based professions like plumbing, electrician, mechanics, computer repair, carpentry, painting, etc has to be encouraged among young people.
Edit: those in the replies saying no scope in india, these people are earning more than tier 2/3 college engineers

[tradersjournal]

Meanwhile... Rich are attending Ambani's wedding party.

[artisttejita]

Legal marriage age limit should start from 25 years old. And 1 or 2 children per married couple must be allowed. These rules must be made strict. Then probably population can be controlled.

[abhishekshukla]

So i am not the only unemployed person whose family breathing on his neck to find a job 😢😢
