India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world,with a population count of more than 135 crores but India is facing a major employment crisis which has even more worsened in the Pandemic which has struck the whole world hard.In 2012-13 India's unemployment rate was 3.2% which increased to 5% in financial year 2016-17.People can argue that this rate of employment is normal for a country having the second highest population in the world.The main issue is that for a country where 1.2 crore people enter the workforce each year,the pace of job generation remains stagnant.

In India when the NDA came into power it promised to erase poverty and unemployment but what happened is completely opposite, jobs in the government sector are reducing rapidly.Millions of students in India are in the race of getting a government job.For example,Vacancies in SSC and UPSC have taken a dip and are in the process of falling further.


In this Covid Pandemic India like the entire world has been affected hardly.The service,agriculture sector have been hardly struck and would take time to recover.In India in a single year almost 1.5 crore people lost their jobs, a large part of it includes the daily wage workers.The government has also taken steps like they introduced a quite good package for relief and also introduced various provisions of relief to every sector in this recently proposed Budget.
