Will unemployment end with government jobs?
Unemployment is a big political issue not just in bihar but across the country. The issue of unemployment has been in the headlines since independence. Often, many leaders promise to end unemployment by giving government jobs to the people and form the government. At the same time, opposition leaders also surround the government on this issue.
In such a situation, prashant Kishore, who has entered politics now, is also raising the issue of unemployment, but he is not talking about government jobs. kishore only talks about employment. Addressing a public meeting, he said, 'In the last 75 years in bihar, more than 30 governments have given government jobs to a total of 23 lakh people from peon to chief secretary, that is, 1.97 percent of the total population of the state has got government jobs till date. Leaders claim that if their government is formed, they will give 10 lakh jobs in a year itself.'
He further said, '98 percent of the people of bihar do not have government jobs and to a large extent they will not get them. But there must be employment. Now there is no employment because employment requires money and you don't have it. If the youth get a loan of 5 lakhs, 10 lakhs at a cheap rate without pledging anything, then they will do some kind of employment. Employment is found in the whole world like this.'
In a special interview with ABP, he said that first of all there is a need to improve the education level of children below 15 years of age and people between 15 and 50 years of age have some skill, they need to be provided capital so that they leave labour work and start their own work.
On this, we also talked to Bihar's political expert Santosh Kumar. He told, prashant kishore may be talking about private jobs and employment, but the truth is that everyone wants a government job. The situation is such that even if someone has a good private job, he is not getting married. people are looking for government jobs. Even if there is a government job of a peon, he is getting married immediately.
